He finally came out!!! Not that I was overdue or anything. It just looked like I was!
Luke Isaac Stewart
8 lbs. 8 oz.
20 1/2 inches long
He was born at 8:08am on Sept. 19th. Luckily he did not come any earlier than 8:08, since I didn't even get into a hospital room until about 7:45am! I THOUGHT we were going in for an induction, but just happened to go into labor before they had a chance. Labor was fast and furious and before we knew it, he was out! Unfortunately for me, there was no time for an epidural. The whole experience was a little traumatizing for me because it just wasn't what I was expecting, but the end result was a beautiful healthy baby, so I can't complain. Unfortunately for Luke, I had tested positive for Strep and they didn't even have enough time to get the IV in me for the antibiotics. He has been fine though, and he will go back to the Dr. today just to make sure that he has escaped infection. So far, he has been a delightful baby and we are just so glad to have him here!
The proud daddy helping Lilly hold baby Luke. I was a little concerned at how Lilly would react to this new little person in our lives because she has always been such a "mama's girl". When she first came to visit us at the hospital, she put her hand over her mouth and was giddy with excitement and amazement. We all know Lilly's moods can be a little . . . shall we say unpredictable? When she came to pick us up from the hospital, she had a grouchy look on her face and kept saying "Don't like it, baby". Luckily, by the time we got home she had changed her mind again and was very excited about having the baby home, and bringing him lots of toys and books.
Rilee and Cameron are old pros at this stuff.

He is the sweetest thing! It makes me just a little envious! I miss those newborn days with Mia. Enjoy him for me! Let me know what night works for dinner next week. I should be able to do any of them! :) Congrats on another little cutie!
He is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations! Good thing you weren't a little late arriving at the hospital for your induction, or even that you didn't have an induction scheduled, or else that baby would had shown up at home most likely! Keep us updated with pictures since we won't get to meet him in person for quite some time - unless you would like to bring him up personally to meet the Rushings and get a jump start on training him on the responsibility that comes with being named "Luke"! May the force be with you all!
Congratulations!!! :)
