Luke is here! He was born on Friday, September 4th at 12:56 pm. As many of you know we were expecting to have a planned c-section on September 9th, however, that was not the Lord's plan I guess! Last week I (Jayme) started having higher blood pressure readings and so they were keeping an eye on those. Thursday evening, she started having some regular contractions and those combined with high blood pressure found us in the doctors office Friday morning checking things out. The doctor on call decided that it was probably best for us to go ahead and deliver Friday afternoon. We had a wonderful experience with our c-section and both Luke and I came through beautifully. Luke weighed in at 5lb 9oz and was 19 1/2 inches long, very tiny! He had some difficulty transitioning into the world over the next 12-24 hours or so but since then has been doing great. He has been eating well, is eager to look all around and check out his surroundings and loves to be held! We don't have tons of pictures to post yet as we were not able to see him that much at first - but we'll get plenty more in the coming days.
Landrum and Luke had a wonderful first meeting. She was curious and attempted plenty of poking and prodding to see if he was real or a doll. Going home with an addition to the family will be an adjustment to all of us but I am sure she will enjoy her role as the big sister. Thanks for continuing to lift us up in prayer during this joyous time and we look forward to introducing Luke to you soon.

Congratulations! We are thankful that Luke and Jayme are doing well. Hope to see Luke soon. And I love Landrum's outfit in the last post. I think Eden needs some clothes like that. :)
