Luke is 2 weeks old today!!

Luke had his 2 week appointment yesterday. The appointment went very well!! Luke gained 8 ounces in 6 days. The doctor was so shocked! She had told us last week that he needed to gain at least 3 ounces, well I'd say that we killed that goal. Luke is 19 inches long (he was 17 1/2 when he was born). He is eating so well (obviously)!! We are getting better each day with the breast feeding. I never realized how hard it could be. But I am very glad that I am able to do it. Luke is also starting to realize when he is hungry. We are feeding him every 2-3 hours depending on when he is ready. If he hasn't shown any interest by 2 1/2 hours then I wake him up. He is going 4 hours in the night without eating. It's so nice to get that extra hour of sleep! Luke is also becoming more alert when you talk to him. I am happy that he is doing so well and thankful to all of your prayers. We couldn't have done it without them.





Sadie and Luke hanging out together. Sadie still isn't too sure about him.

Look how tiny Luke's hands are

Oh Britt, what a beautiful little guy! He looks alot like Randy, so cute! And so tiny, enjoy it, he won't be that way for very long. Especially at the rate that he is gaining weight, way to go! Glad you are getting the hang of nursing, Megan is right, it only gets easier! I am so glad I am nursing, I just love that time with my little guy. Looks like Randy is a great daddy, so cute! How is motherhood treating you? Are you getting much rest? I bet your mom is loving being a grandma-she is so cute!

He is so cute! I am so happy he is gaining weight and growing. I am doing good, I only have just over 2 weeks to go! I was thinking maybe in April we could get together with Brooke and Laura again? We will have to see how the babies are doing and then we can plan something. I would love to see you before than if everything is ok with Luke and Cade :)

I'm glad things are going well! Yes, the best advice a good friend of mine gave me before I had Mosiah was to not give up on nursing! When she told me I was like ok, thanks. Nursing was really hard for a couple months and I just keep remembering what she said and kept at it. Then finally nursing was the most wonderful thing ever! It did take about 4 months for it to be this way, but in the end I'm glad I stuck with it. So keep up the good work!
