Welcome Baby Luke!

Luke, after much anticipation, was born on April 2, 2011 at 5:26 am. Mom woke up in labor around 1:30 am, woke Dad when contractions were ever five minutes and we were off to the hospital at 3:00 am, once Laura arrived to take care of Grant. We arrived at the hospital with contractions every 2 minutes. The doctors broke my water and within 90 minutes and three pushes Luke was here! It was an intense 90 minutes, but we couldn't ask for anything more as Luke was as perfect as a newborn could be. Weighing in at 8 lbs even and 21 inches, he was much bigger than big brother Grant had been. Luke is actually "tall" and has already started outgrowing his newborn clothes.

Life has certainly changed for all of us. Grant adores his big brother-always wants to give him hugs and cuddles. Luke is a pretty good sleeper, which is great for all of us. Dad went back to work after a week and Grant has been going to Laura's to play during the day. This helps him stay in his routine and allows Luke and Mom time to bond and nap :)

Family and friends have been a blessing to us. Visitors are always welcomed and encouraged. Days can be long for Mom and Luke and adult conversation is much appreciated.
