He's Here!! Meet Luke Forbes Steging!


Last picture before heading out the door. Had to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. I am 39 weeks




All dressed up in my fancy hose ready for surgery.










Josh in his sweet leisure suit. We laughed because it had a collar. I told him he looked like he was going into Area 51 or something.









Luke's first picture with Mom and Dad!




Getting his vitals. 6lb 12oz, 18 inches born at 8:17 a.m. Has been doing great all day. Nursing really well, and sleeping good. We chose the name because Luke is Josh's middle name, and Forbes is Ryann's dad's middle name. It comes from my dad's maternal grandmother who was full Scottish. Forbes is a an ancient Scottish clan. They even have their own tartan.





All cleaned up. Pretty sweet. Not too much fussing...so far anyway.



In our room, everyone out of their gear, and settling in for the weekend. Everyone is doing great!





First visitors Grandma Patti







Grandma and Grandpa King




Big brother arrived after school to meet Luke. A little shy at first, but he soon was very excited to hold "Wook" and then to pass him back to Dad, saying he was "too heavy."...and then wanted to watch Toy Story the rest of the afternoon. :)

Summer Fun



We have a great little park right by our house. Austin and I have been hanging out there a lot this summer. It has been a nice go to spot for Austin and I when we are going stir crazy at the house.









I look a smidge pregnant from the side.









So....we were potting a plant, and then he peed his pants. Went to go get him some new ones, and when I came back out he was putting the dirt back in the old pot....pant-less. The front shot was pretty funny, but he would probably kill me in 20 years if I took a picture of that.








Rainman showing off his anal retentiveness. Almost all the colors are in order....taking this kid to Vegas to count cards in a few years.








Sorry he likes to accessorize. In his defense, he did call it his back pack. Josh still didn't think it was as funny as me. He even had a tiny bottle of lotion in there.










New Big boy room. With the baby about to come we moved Austin upstairs. Still revamping, but a little paint, some decals, and voila! Big Boy room. He even said he was done with the choo choo bed. Still on the hunt for some bedding, but its summer, so who needs a comforter.







He wanted to pose by his book shelf. The only furniture in there right now. So far only a few pop up books have met their demise at nap time.












Baby update. Again, same ole' stuff... with some new decals really just makes it a nursery again. Had a sonogram again today to check fluid levels. Apparently, I was low on oil (amnio fluid) last week at my appt. Went back today. Fluids were up a little baby looked fine, but my Dr. was delivering at the time. Go back in the morning to see what she wants to do. I assume I am still on for next Thursday, but will keep you posted if anything changes over the weekend!
