He is SO cute!

Here are some more pictures of our sweet little guy. He's doing great and so are we. We are really having a great time getting to know him better and adjusting to our new family life.

This is the cutest picture of Lucas! He's happy almost all the time (hey, everybody has their moments). His dimples are adorable and we get to see them a lot.

I love this one because he's so happy and he has his eyes wide open.

He doesn't seem to mind having his picture taken at all, and we just can't seem to resist!

First bath! He did really well, especially considering he is a very modest boy and does not like to be naked. Cute little dimple!

I just love this face Jared caught him making. He was just pondering life I think.

So, as far as more details of our labor experience, I guess I got off pretty lucky. I went in on Monday night at 7:30pm to get induced. They gave me pitocin and got my contractions started. Then they broke my water and I was able to feel the contractions. I was in a lot of pain, so I got an epidural and then they said I was a 4 and I should try to rest. I think I slept for about 30 minutes and then they checked again and said I was an 8 to 10. Then the head nurse checked and within the next 10 minutes, they called the doctor and said that they could see the baby's head and that I needed to get ready to push. The doctor showed up and I pushed about 2 times. I had to stop quick so they could cut the cord loose because it was around his neck and had been causing his heart rate to drop drastically. Anyways, it was only six hours of labor and with the epidural, I didn't feel a thing. I'm feeling it now... but that's a different story and it's getting better quickly with all of the help from my mom and sister and of course, the pampering from Jared!
