On August 28th, we welcomed Luke Isaac to the world at 1:06 pm. He weighed in at 7 lb. 7 oz, was 19 in long and is absolutely perfect! I realize this post is very late, but I'm sure you all have seen lots of pictures by now and have heard the birth story. Please forgive me for being a little preoccupied:) Luke came quickly and surprisingly easy which was an ENORMOUS blessing. You can read the full birth story on Luke's very own website at LukeIsaacDuncan@shutterfly.com
along with many, many pictures. We are definitely making good use of the new camera! I'm going to be updating the website more than the blog for a while because I'm spending every spare second with sweet Luke while I'm home.
Luke will turn 3 weeks old tomorrow and I feel like I just blinked and time has flown by. I know, I know, it's only been a few weeks, but he's already growing and changing and it's a little bittersweet. I've loved the past nine months and the labor was such an incredible experience, I sometimes find myself wishing I could do it all over again. Of course I wouldn't trade having him here with me for the world though. He is perfect in every way. He has slept very well, eats great, is quiet most of the day (we've only heard his real cry during bathtime) and is the most relaxed baby I've ever seen. He sleeps with his hands over his head and his fists open just like his daddy did. Now that is a relaxed baby! He smiles and almost laughs out loud at times, raises his head and moves it side to side, and stares into our eyes when we talk to him. He absolutely loves his daddy's voice, his eyes widening when he begins talking to him. I think it's all the talking to him while in the womb that Cody did and his deep voice that makes him take notice. Of course he loves his momma too and quiets as soon as I pick him up and rock him. That's something I've always looked forward to with all my babysitting days. A child responds differently to their own parents than anyone else and it's something that changes you in every way. I couldn't ask for more. I sit and stare at him every day, amazed at what the Lord has made. I'm so thankful he has given us Luke to raise and love. Here are a few pictures of our bundle of joy:)
