He is here!

He is here!

Our sweet little Lucas Jacob arrived Sept, 23rd at 6:41 PM. His weight was at a whopping 10 lbs 3 oz and he was 22 inches long.

Here is the birth story:

Ben and I dropped the kids off Thursday night at my moms and enjoyed a quiet evening to ourselves. We woke up Friday morning and waited for the nurse to call us to come in. The labor and delivery floor was packed and we were lucky to get in at 10:00AM.

When we arrived, I was immediately put on Oxytocyn. My cervix stayed at a three for a while and I was getting nervous that this baby would not come out.The contractions were getting worse so I got an epidural about 1pm. The doctor came in and broke my water about 3PM. It appeared I had so much that he said I won the award for the most water. :-) Things started to progress and by 6 I was at a 10 ready to push. By 6:25 I started to push and 6:41PM he was born. I couldn't believe this little guy was so big. The doctor said I probably had gestational diabetes and it caused him to be at a heavy weight.

I am so grateful that everything went well. I didn't have to get snipped down there and I didn't tear. Those were my biggest fears. The Lord definitely answered my prayer and those that were praying for me. I love this little guy and I am so excited he decided to join our family!
