The new little man in my life

I promised some of my friends from work that I would be better at updating my blog since we are almost out of here. My first attempt was a little rough because I couldn't remember my login and password........Pitiful.

We have a new addition to our little family!!! Luke Allen Jakobson came on Monday June 7th at 2:15 in the afternoon. We got to the hospital at 7:00 am, started pitocin at 8:00, had water broken at 9:00, got the epidural at 10:30, started pushing at 2:00 and had him at 2:15! I thought my labor and delivery was easy with Kole, but Luke proved me wrong. I pushed for 1 hour and 45 mins with Kole and was very exhausted after. I started my first push with Luke and my Dr told me not to push so hard. He had me only do half pushes because he didn't want the baby to come out too fast! It was amazing. I was really so shocked at how quick and easy he came to us.

He is such a sweet little baby boy and has a big brother that loves him very much. Kole has been really good at holding him and being soft. I know he will have his days, but so far it has been such a joy to watch him love on his baby brother. Luke seems to be pretty calm, but when he does need something he shows off his fully developed, strong lungs. He and his brother have the same cute little button nose which I just love!!!

We feel so blessed to have two healthy, handsome and sweet boys in our family. Life is about to get pretty hectic, but we are grateful for the opportunity Tyson has to go to school and hopefully have a good job when he is finished. We will pack up on the 26th and be out of here on the 27th. Everything is falling into place beautifully and we are excited for what the future will bring!!!
