One week!
I know...it's been a week since little Luke arrived, and I haven't blogged yet! Sorry for the delay, but I feel like I've been in somewhat of survival mode! ;) Things are going good. Luke was born at 5:26pm last Monday, the 11th. We hung around in the hospital til Thursday and then started the adventure of living at home- all four of us! My mom has been staying with us and has been a TREMENDOUS help this last week. Lily is loving her little brother and loves hugging, kissing, and holding him. I'm feeling pretty good- not near are sore as I thought I'd be- and handling the transition pretty well. Those first few days are always so hard, but I think I'm turning the corner. Luke's feeding well and is almost back up to his birth weight! He was 6 lb 11 oz and 18 in long. It's been so sweet seeing Lily love on her little brother, and I can't wait to see them interacting soon. I'll have some more pictures up soon, but here's a sweet one that I think Kristyn took of Josh and Luke in the nursery. Thanks again for all your prayers and sweet notes of encouragement. I'll try and post more when I get a chance.

YAY Natalie! Congratulations! I am so excited for you guys. Happy new baby!! He's adorable!
Josh looks like a proud daddy!!!
Welcome to this world Little Luke! Prepare to be loved, spoiled, prayed over, held, taught, sung to, read to, kissed, and coddled....and that will just be in nursery with me!
You were blessed to be born into a family that loves Jesus! I am already praying that you will love him as much as your mommy and daddy do. That one day 30 years from now, I sit in a ghetto building that was once an Albertsons and listen to you preach things that you will learn from right now until then.
You also have a great big sister. Be nice to her when you are bigger than she is...remember she will always be the princess and she will always be older! It is ok if you forget now and then...rest assured she will remind you.
Blessings on you darling boy! Welcome to the World!
Yay! Love the update...how were the cookies?
Congratulations! So glad things are going so well. I love reading and hearing about your new arrival because pretty soon I'll be experiencing the same thing! So happy you are all healthy and home!
