Update and more pictures

Another Broncos Fan is Born!

Well, we are now home and getting ourselves settled in. Adjusting to life with a newborn has been wonderful! We find ourselves getting nothing whatsoever done during the day because we're so consumed with cuddling, kissing and simply staring at our little bundle of joy.

A lot has happened since the last post- let me rephrase that, a lot of pictures have been taken since the post. We have been hounded by various friends and family members for more pictures, so this post will have LOTS. Hopefully this will suffice, at least for now. :)


Luke had his first doctor's appointment yesterday. He did so well! He now weighs 7.6oz and has grown 1/4 inch already, putting him at 21 1/2 inches. He is in the 90th percentile for height, 10th percentile for weight! So we have a lanky little one... future basketball player perhaps?

I have to tell one quick story and then onto the pictures, I promise, but this tale is too funny NOT to tell...
Yesterday afternoon Luke was in need of a diaper change - we're talking soupy poopy diaper- so Matt and I 'tag teamed' it and decided to change him in his room on the changing table versus the pad on the dining room table/make shift diaper station we created downstairs. We got Luke all cleaned up and feeling fresh, no problem. Matt was in the process of putting some vaseline on Luke's 'member' (recommendation from Dr. for the circumcision site) when all of a sudden there is a yellow fountain! Matt didn't know what to do so he 'helped Luke aim' for the wall! In the meantime I'm telling Matt "no!" trying to get him to cover it with the diaper but Matt thinks I'm telling him not to get pee on the wall, so he 'aims' in the other direction! Picture an out of control fire hose - that's probably the best image for this scene. Both Matt and I are laughing hysterically while poor little Luke is crying! When we finally look around there is pee EVERYWHERE! All over the wall, changing pad, carpet, glider, crib...everywhere, including all over Luke... sprinkled on his face and even a drop in his ear!
We got Luke and the room all cleaned up, laughing the entire time. Needless to say, we learned an invaluable lesson! :)

Ok, onto the pics....

Sleeping so peacefully

Matt - staring at Luke for hours on end

So tiny!

resting at the hospital - Matt had his own 'bed/cot' but mine was more comfy.
