Luke Morgan Raulie is here!

Luke Morgan Raulie was born April 25, 2008 at 5:18p.m. EST. 7lbs 4oz, 20" long. This was after about 15hrs of labor Jenn went through. Both mom and baby are progressing well the last couple days here at the hospital. We are being discharged this morning around 10:00a.m. EST and look forward to heading home soon. Jenn said Luke is excited to ride in his new BIG truck.

The hospital we are at has been very good to us though I have already gotten in trouble once for breaching security and another time for trying to leave the delivery room after Luke was born. Next time I need a better listing or rules!

Last night(Saturday night) Luke finally stretched out his lungs and for a little bit just to let us know that we should also be awake at 2a.m. He is eating great and seems to be very healthy as the peditrician reflected this as well. Obviously, he is sleeping a lot and eating every 2-3hrs, but it is inspiring to see him open his eyes to wonder what is around him.

Most of the Haney family visited us Friday night(Mike, Brooklyn, Leigh, Brad & Debbie). Jeanne and Mark have helped us out tremendously with the house as well as here at the hospital. They also gave Luke his first ball and glove and teddy bear. Angie and new nephew Baron visited us as well on Friday toting chocolate cigars and treats! We look forward to seeing them and Daddy Ben today.

Our friends Kraig & Pam and Mark & Max visited us with gorgeous flowers yesterday and Shelly(Jenn's mom for the family she nanny's for) also stopped by for a few moments.

Jenn is getting around very well also. Slow at first, but getting up and down pretty good now.
