Caspian Charlie Fiskeaux came
into the world on July 26, 2006 at 2:50 a.m. He weighed 7lbs, 13oz and
measured 21" long. Labor was 6 hours long, 100% unmedicated, and resulted
in no perineal tearing, praise the Lord! Caspain has either red or blond
hair and a widow's peak like mommy, and grey-blue eyes (for now). He's
named after the Narnian king and Charlie's paternal grandfather. We checked
out of the hospital Friday night...then back in again Saturday afternoon
to treat his jaundice. We stayed in for three days and went back home
again Monday evening.
Early on, he had his days and nights half switched, but he was a strong nurser. He slept even more deeply than his daddy (but mommy woke every time his breathing changed). He enjoyed eating, watching the ceiling fan, sleeping upright on mommy's chest, belching like a sailor, and having lotion put on him. Now he's almost one! He's still exclusively breastfed (his choice) and cloth diapered, and we keep a family-style bed. He is the #1 most gorgeous thing we have ever seen. Ever. — Click here to read our family blog! — Scroll down for a record of special events in Caspian's life. 07/26/06 ~ He's born! 07/28/06 ~ FIRST night at home 07/29/06 ~ Readmitted to the hospital for jaundice 07/31/06 ~ Home from the hospital to stay! 08/05/06 ~ Umbilical cord stump fell off! 08/10/06 ~ Too big for newborn diapers 08/11/06 ~ FIRST full day in cloth diapers; FIRST booger 08/12/06 ~ FIRST time being worn in a baby carrier 08/13/06 ~ FIRST tub bath 08/15/06 ~ FIRST time in the stroller 08/16/06 ~ FIRST time eating cross-cradle; FIRST "outfit" 08/17/06 ~ FIRST time wearing pants 08/18/06 ~ FIRST nap with Mommy in her bed 08/21/06 ~ Move up to "tall" carseat strap position 08/22/06 ~ Met Uncle Stuart 08/24/06 ~ FIRST time eating lying down; FIRST real smile at Mommy; FIRST outing without Daddy; FIRST bath with Daddy
