Luke has been such a good baby so far.Acting like a typical newborn, eating and sleeping. He has had a mild case of thrush but that seems to be resolving with the medicine that we have been giving him. At 2 weeks old was up to 8lbs 3 oz. He does not seem to mind all the activity that is around him some days. He wakes up 2 or 3 times during the night and right now takes about 2 oz of formula. Sometimes it takes him forever to burp but when he does he seems a lot more comfortable. Luke has taken a few walks around the neighborhood, has been to both Grandparents houses and already has visited the zoo. He seems to love being held and his hair remains as crazy as ever. His face is already changing too.
Luke Ryan arrived on June 6 at 1131 pm. He weighed 8lbs 2oz and 21 inches long. He came fast once he decieded it was time. I have been contracting on and off for weeks and nothing was different on that Wednesday. Around supper time the contractions were timeable but not that strong. We went out for icecream and went about the usual night routine with putting the kids to bed. Around 9 pm I took a shower and thought that this might be it. The contractions were closer together and stronger but still not that unbearable to me . I thought I would lay down around 10 pm but Ryan encouraged me to call my mom and the doctor and we headed into the hospital. On the way to the hospital the contractions were strong and seemed to be on top of each other. Ryan dropped me off in ER and my water broke while waiting to go up stairs. They wheeled me into a room and checked me I was 7 cm dilated at 1124..next thing I knew I could feel him coming and he came fast with one push. Good thing we left our house when we did because 39 min later Luke was here.A beautiful baby boy with tons of dark hair. Levi and Maci are loving and fighting over Luke daily. They love to hold him, feed him, get his outfits ready, get the bottles for him, anything to help with baby brother. Luke seems to be quite tolerant of all the pulling and "loving".
