Calvin Haywood Baker took his first breaths of life on Sunday, October 12th at 7:31pm. Whew, are we glad he’s here! I’m certain he doesn’t know the aches and pains, as well as joys and thrills, he caused his mom and dad… The excitement of the positive pregnancy test, the days of nausea and vomit-inducing odors, the many purchases of enlarging-belly maternity wear, the terrifying cramping in the second trimester and the endearing kicks a few weeks later, the fun of registering for teeny clothes and diapers and the inevitable feeling of “what are we getting into?” and finally, the last readings of high blood pressure, the baby shower the honoree never attended, and contractions that could blow your socks off. And he’s here. A darling bundle of humanity, 6 pounds and 3 ounces, 19 inches long. Dark hair on his slightly pointy head and a quite perfect little face. Welcome to the world, Calvin! We love you already. And, oh yeah — congrats Sarah and Dave! The fun is just beginning.
