On the 8th Rick an I went to the doctor and he recommended that I be induced the next day (which was a week early) because he thought the baby was around 9 pounds already! I have had gestational diabetes which tends to produce large babies. Anyway, on Friday night our beautiful boy arrived via C-section. We came home from the hospital last Monday after some rest in the hospital.
Luke Richard Barton was born on May 9th at 11:23 pm. He was 7 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long. He looks a lot like Rick and has all of his fingers and toes, as my mom says. I'm not sure how much of my DNA he has except for the dark hair. He loves to stretch his long legs and has a very mellow temperament. We think he is amazing. So far, Rick loves changing diapers and being wet on, I love kissing this little guy and we both love taking naps whenever we can.
It took us til the last day in the hospital to decide on his name and Luke seemed to fit. We also really like the idea of naming him after someone. As the first son, he gets his daddy's name.
