HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY LUKE! 6.30.06

Remembering that day 3 years ago today. The above picture is of me the morning leaving for my c-section. I gained 19lbs.


Before they started to prep me for my c-section.

Luke weighed 8lbs. Notice my dr's eyes, he thought he was a big one!


Proud parents

Luke had the chubbiest cheeks ever. My second pregnancy was very similar to the first. I loved it! I enjoyed every minute of it. Luke was born at 38 weeks. They did an amniocentesis to make sure his lungs were developed before delivering him. (That was something they didn't do with Carter. Carter was born at 37 weeks and spent a week in Children's). They told me later that afternoon that he was ready and I was to come in for a c-section in the morning. If I had to compare one delivery to the other I'd say they were equal. Both ways natural vs c-section had it's ups and downs. After delivery both of my boys had jaundice and that is what kept Carter in Children's. Thankfully we treated Luke's at home with a lighted blanket. They are complete opposites but that's what keeps it interesting. When I found out I was having a second boy I just wanted him to be completely different and in some ways it's been good and other ways are challenging. There is definitely something special about your second. Luke brings me so many smiles without doing a thing. I can't believe my baby is 3 today. Love you Lukey! Stay tuned for party pictures.
