Introducing The Fifth C

This evening at 10:21 PM (Cambodia time) Caleb Daniel Conklin was born.

At birth, he weighed 4 kg (8.8 lbs) and is 55 cm (21.6 in) tall.

I’ll write a detailed account of the experience later. But it was short, intense, and painful labor and delivery. Crystal has some minor tearing but is doing well.

Caleb is calm and hungry, very interested in nursing.
