Luke has arrived! March 11, 2008

It was love at first sight. I was so happy to finally hold you. Grammy, Mimi and Aunt Lauren waited for hours in the waiting room and were the first people to see you. It was 1:24am, but they were still wide awake! Grandaddy came up as soon as we called him.
Daddy changing his first diaper.. and it was a dirty one!
I tried to get Dada to put on some shorts, but he wanted to show how much bigger he was than you.
You kept me busy the first 2 weeks. I had to pump and feed you with a bottle (every 2 hours!) because you had some trouble latching on. But we figured it out, and then had no problems. Thank goodness. Mama was tired!
Aww.. naptime with Daddy. These were some of the best times. Just snuggling up on the couch with you. There was no other place either of us would have wanted to be!
Look at that full belly! I love that big, sweet belly after you've gotten your fill.
Daddy's little man!
He's awake! Finally, a picture with your eyes open! So many of the first ones are of you just sleeping.. since that's what pretty much all you did at first!
Our first bath time! You didn't seem to mind it... but I'm sure you would have much rather been wrapped up nice and warm in a blanket! Daddy and I tried to keep it short and simple, but I didn't want to go too fast... you were still so new, I handled you very carefully.
