Luke's Arrival

Wow! Tomorrow it has been a week since Luke's birth. It has gone so quickly. Although, c-section is not what I had envisioned, it could not have gone better. We went to the hospital at 6am and he was born at 8:19am. 9lbs, 6oz and 21 inches. What a BIG Boy!!! He looks very much like Joel did as a newborn.

My recovery is better than I could ever have imagined. Thank you Lord! I've already decreased my pain meds and I am getting around really well. Luke is such a good baby. He is so easy in comparison to Joel. Joel ate every hour and a half-two hours when he was first born. Luke is eating on an average of every 4 hours. He sleeps like a champ with not a lot of effort on my part. It honestly does not feel like I could possibly have a newborn and a toddler. I am feeling great!

Although, we do have lots of help right now, which makes all the difference. We've had lots of visitors and Mom Stiver has been here for the week along with Dad Stiver for the weekend. My stepmom will be staying for a few days this coming week and my mom will be coming next Saturday for a week. Thanks all for your help! Here are a few pics of my little blessing...
