Lucas Edward came on Monday, June 15th at 9:44 am. He was born at Southview Hospital in Dayton, OH and he came out kicking and screaming to two incredibly happy and proud parents. He wasn't as big as we thought he was going to be (based on the ultrasound a few weeks ago we were thinking 9+lbs), but he was still big at 8 lbs 8 oz and 20 1/4 inches. Right now he has blond hair with just a touch of red (he gets that from his Mamaw) and blue eyes. So far the eyes are still blue...should they change, I'm not sure how quickly that happens. I will say with absolute certainty, the boy is beautiful! Lucas is healthy, and content and always very sweet.
We had his first doctor's appointment this past Monday (6/22) and everything looks great! His Mimi and Ganghi (my mom & dad) also came on Monday, and we're happy to have them here to get to know Lucas. Next week Lucas is having an ultrasound on his hips to check for hip dysplasia which is common in breech babies. Our pediatrician doesn't expect this to be an issue for Lucas, but it is routine to check it out around 3 - 4 weeks. Next week he's also meeting Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mark!
And here are the pictures all of you have been anxious to see! Love to all of you and thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes.

LOVE.IT!!! Keep the pictures coming. I am so happy you have your sweet baby in your arms. I can't wait to watch him grow.
I do have to point out that you look amazing after your csection. I think I was still on Vicodin at this point lol!
He is just gorgeous, of course! I really wish I could be there to hold him. We'll miss y'all this weekend - Grace's first birthday party! :) Hope you are getting some rest. Love you guys.
