He's Here!

Wow, how life has changed in a week!  We welcomed our beautiful baby boy on Monday, May 16th, 2011.  Since his arrival we've been peed on, pooped on, and lost lots of sleep! I won't even mention what my body has been through! BUT.. we've also gained a fantastic addition to our family! He is absolutely precious! He sleeps all day and likes to party a bit at night! We're still working on teaching him the difference between day and night!

We're still adjusting to being a family of 4! For the most part, Mya LOVES her baby brother! She wakes up asking for him and showers him with hugs and kisses!

Some of her favorite things to do include: 
-shoving pacifiers into his mouth (whether wanted or not)
-buckling him into his bouncy seat and carrier
-undoing Mommy's "seatbelt" (this is what she calls the buckle on my nursing bra)
-sticking stickers all over her brother's blankets
-attaching the "straps" on Luke's diaper
-telling him "it's ok, I wuv you."


Mommy right before heading into surgery! That's a BIG baby in there!

Daddy ready to power through surgery!  It got a bit gruesome in the Operating Room.  Matt tried to keep me preoccupied by quizzing me on the state capitals.  Note to self: Practice my capitals! I failed the test. I'm sure it's because I was busy birthing a baby!

Dr. Novas presents Lucas Matthew Wiegman to us! Matt introduces himself, "Luke, I am your father!"  The OR erupted in laughter....always the comedian!

Big Sister Mya giving Luke lots of love. I wonder how long this will last???
