Welcome to the Family Luke Ryan Koopmans!





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".
