Introducing Caleb Braxton Donahue!
Caleb was born July 30th by C-section (I got to watch!). He weighed 7lb 7oz and was 19 inches long. Brad and I went up to Rockingham for the birth last Wednesday. Starting Tuesday, we spent our nights at a bed and breakfast in Wadesboro and our days at Richmond Memorial Hospital until he was discharged on Friday. Ever since, Caleb has been at home with us waiting for the revocation period to pass. Last night at midnight our time was up, so today we are introducing the newest addition to our family. It will still take a few months to finalize the adoption through the court system, so for now Caleb is technically named Braxton Jones (Jones being the last name given to all babies that are custody of our agency). Braxton was chosen by his birth family, and we are keeping it as his middle name. We have an open adoption and have gotten to know some of his birth family already. Caleb is so cute- and the other children luuuuuuuv (squish) him to pieces. Enjoy the pics!

I think tony and vickie Speer are stalking you guys... Be careful.
Y'all sitting in that chair together reminds me of Jon & Kate plus 8! Anybody watch that show besides me??
We are not stalking you! :) It's just that this old woman is technologically challenged and is trying to figure out this whole posting business. At least I'm trying. Hope all is well with new baby Caleb!
