It has been a really long time since we updated the blog and so much has changed for us. Our little man was born on May 14th at 8:27am, he was 10lbs 5 oz. The beginning was a little rough because he had jaundice and we had to stay in the hospital a day longer than I would have liked, when we got home we had to put this light machine on him and take him for three days to have blood drawn. He also lost a lot of weight in the beginning and I had to supplement his feedings with formula. That was really hard for me because a few people at the hospital made me feel like I was not doing anything right. The feedings got much better once we got home and could feel comfortable in our own environment.
It has been great having Lucas at home with us. For the most part he sleeps better than we expected. He sometimes goes for 5 or 6 hours, but there are nights he is up every hour. He has just recently (now that he is 6weeks old) started smiling when we talk to him...not just because he has gas. He also showed us that he does not like tummy time, he rolls over right away. I love just watching him lay so innocently and I wonder what he will be like as he grows. I also love to watch Abe sit with him curled in a little ball on his chest. Abe loves him so much and want to take care of him all of the time, and he wants to take care of me also. I know I have a wonderful man in my life and having Lucas has just reaffirmed that thought even more.
Lucas attended his very first wedding, Mayda and Jason. Everyone wanted to hold him and said how cute he is. The main comment that we get about Lucas is "OMG! look at that hair!" It is funny because to me his hair is normal. We stayed at the wedding pretty long and he did a great job. We did end of leaving because we thought he was getting tired, and so were we.
It has been awesome bringing a new baby into the family and seeing all of the love that everyone has for him. The kids have even been great with him and been very interested, especially his cousin Leo (who calls him cucas...we think it is adorable). So many people have been so willing to help us with the baby, especially my mom and Gordy who took him overnight while I was in the ER with a kidney infection.
I feel like my heart is overflowing with love and happiness for my little man and my big one too =) ~Valarie
