Caleb Matthew Meighan

I only have 1 brother. He's 2 years older than me, and we've always been very close. We never really fought growing up, and he always looked out for me. He's a great big brother! What could be better than that? Then, Jill came into the picture. We all immediately fell in love with her too! She has become like a big sister to me in the 4 years they dated, and the 5 they've been married. Life was grand, and then, we got the BIG news! On Christmas Eve 2009, Matt and Jill found out they were pregnant! (Christmas Eve is a big day for our family- in 2007, Will proposed, and then this news in 2009!) Since that moment, preparations and excitement has been high as we await the arrival of Caleb Matthew Meighan. Caleb is the first grandchild/nephew on my side of the family. He's also the 1st in Jill's family. It is possible he might be slightly spoiled. ;) He's due September 3, 2010.

A few weeks ago, Matt and Jill's church gave them a baby shower. Mom and dad were in town, and I drove up to Indy for the shower. Here are some pics!


In the picture above, we played a game where we had to drink milk out of a bottle. It was HARD and it took forever! Seriously, I have no idea how babies actually figure out how to drink. They must have some powerful jaw muscles!
Time for presents! I just posted a few pictures here. Caleb got a LOT of loot!

An explanation of the picture below: My grandparents (mom's parents) died in a tragic car accident about 12 years ago. Grandma loved to sew and had tons of fabric, etc. Right after they died, mom pieced together 2 quilts from grandma's fabric- one quilt for Matt's children, and one for my children. She gave Jill the quilt at the shower.


Releasing balloons from the shower. Yes, it's possible to be this pregnant, and still this cute, but only if you are Jill Meighan. :)
Matt and Jill's other "child," Sammy. They got Sammy about 6 weeks after they got married. I think he'll adjust well to Caleb, but he has no idea what's about to happen to his happy, predictable routine! It was a great shower, and a wonderful day! Now we're just anxiously awaiting the arrival of Caleb! We can't wait to meet him!
