We are home sweet home with our newest addition to the family, Lucas Gregory. Born August 25th, 2011 at 10:30pm weighing in at 9lbs 7 ozs and 20.5 in long! It was a long day being induced at eight am and taking 4 doses of cytotech (spelled right?) and nothing but some contractions and a little dialating from 8-830pm! Lots of waiting. Nothing was really happening and then at 8:30pm (12 hrs after they started my induction) Laura came in with a bouncing ball and I just bounced like crazy, went for a walk and boom those contractions came on so fast every 2 minutes apart, they didn't have to give me Pitocin, and two hours later, with 10 brutal minutes of pushing little Lucas was here with a loud cry! Happy Tears all around. Both my sisters were able to be there the last two hours, along with my two coaches (Dave and my mom). It was special that my sisters were able to witness Lucas's birth, even though I think they won't be thinking about having babies anytime soon!
Caleb got to meet his brother at the hospital and was so excited to see us and 'brotur LuLu'
We are feeling so blessed with our two sweet boys!! SO thankful for the tons of help and support we have had from family and friends!!!
It's almost as if Lucas was waiting for everyone to arrive... :-) Congrats!!
