Luke was born July 9, about a week and a half early! We were definitely caught a bit off guard and did the whole frantic ride to the hospital. Luckily I got there in time for the epidural (hallelujah!!) and from then on it was amazingly easy! I only had to push about 10 times and he was here! We checked into the hospital at 3:15 and he was born by 8:50, can't complain there! We had one of the NICU nurses who was in the room when Katelyn was born there to make sure Luke was ok and did not have any complications. I can't even express how happy I was to hear that he was healthy and I would get to just hold him as long as I wanted.
One happy mamma!!

Katelyn was immediately interested in her new baby brother. She just wanted to keep touching him, the whole time saying "baby!"

She's in love!
Our friends came over with a new baby doll and stroller for Katelyn. She was THRILLED (as you can clearly see in this picture!)
He's such a good sleeper so far (knock on wood!) I'm loving this early newborn phase that we missed while in the hospital with Kate. He's just so sleepy and sweet!
We are so in love with our little guy!
Thank you so much for posting this! I've been waiting anxiously to hear how things went. So happy for you that Luke is a healthy, happy baby boy! And Katelyn is a doll. What a cutie. Congrats you family of 4!
