One Week Ago...

After being in the hospital for 20 hours, 4 of which I was in labor, we welcomed Luke Ryan into the world at 11:29 am on Wednesday, October 13, 2010. I have to say this was probably the longest delivery I have experienced. Although it is our third one, I was very emotional and overwhelmed with happiness. Adam was a great coach throughout the event. We are both very grateful and blessed with such a beautiful family. Luke weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce, and measured 21 inches. He is doing great. We took him to his first well-baby check-up, and he's doing fine. So far he's a wonderful baby. He sleeps most of the day and almost all night. I have to wake him every two to three hours to feed. He rarely cries and is always content. I have to say three boys sound like a lot of fun and we cannot wait to begin this new life as a family of five.

Happy Daddy


Will was super excited to hold his new little brother.

Happy to see Daddy after 24 hours.
Here is the first picture of our complete family.

This picture was a lot of fun to take. Luke was wide awake for this one.

Luke watched his first Georgia football game, and they won! Go Dawgs!
