We are full of joy as we announce Luke Dawson is here. He arrived Sunday, December 18th at 8:15 pm. He was 9 pounds, 11 ounces, and 21 1/2 inches long.
We got home today and baby and I are doing well. His big sister Meghan is smitten with him, as well.
As soon as I get the chance I will share the story of his birth. In the meantime I am going to go snuggle and enjoy my babies.
My first baby boy was 11 lbs and my labour was 6 hours from start to finish. I arrived at the hospital fully dilated and was also saying to my husband “if they say I’m only slightly dilated I’m having an epidural”. Luckily for me I could start pushing straightaway!Maybe it’s something about big babies making for a faster labour! I’m now 18 weeks pregnant with a little girl and hoping she will be slightly smaller…Myself and my husband are slim with not history of diabetes in our family so our son was a complete shock!
Wow–11 pounds!? That is a big baby. 🙂 Good luck with baby #2!
Snuggle away! Congratulations, Mama!
Congrats! The selfish foodie in me wants you back for more posts and exciting eats, but the unselfish me wants you to enjoy your babies. I will be the unselfish me a little longer! 😉
But I am excited to watch you feed the baby when you return! Good lessons and very interesting to watch healthy eating start for someone from the very beginning 🙂 Welcome Luke!
I hope to be back to food posts soon! Thanks for hanging in there in the meantime. 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS Maryea and family!!! I’m so happy for you and so glad to hear that everyone is doing well! Can’t wait to hear your birth story, rest up, I hope you’ve got lots of people taking care of you and bringing you lots of GOOD FOOD!
Congratulations! Can’t wait to hear how it went. My baby was born 3 weeks ago and Luke is literally twice her size – she was just 5 1/2 lbs! It was so fun to be pregnant at the same time as you and it will be wonderful to see Luke grow up with our little Lucia.
Aww you have a little peanut! Luke is the size Meghan was between 2-3 months–it’s very strange having such a big baby this time. 🙂
Congratulations, Maryea! He is so cute. I love the dimple in his chin. And he is so big!! Great job. Did you ever get swollen ankles at the end? You seemed to be so healthy during your pregnancy and you grew a big, healthy baby!! Great job!
I really didn’t get the swollen ankles this time. With Meghan my feet and ankles were swollen beyond belief. I’m not sure if the weather was the difference or if it was something else. Meghan was born in September in Arizona (VERY hot) and now we’re in Ohio in December…so maybe that’s it?
Congratulations…he is beautiful!!!
oh my gosh, he is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to all of you! He looks so adorable and just like Meghan, no?
I hope everything went smoothly.
Enjoy the first days 🙂
(And I really really really like the name!)
Thank you! He does look a lot like Meghan did as a newborn. He’s got lighter hair and is a lot bigger, but they do have similar features.
I think you can also tell that Tim is his dad 😉
Congrats!! So exciting and he is adorable. Enjoy those newborn snuggles…..they are fleeting!! Can’t wait to hear the birth story 🙂
Congratulations! Looking forward to reading your birth story. The picture of Meghan kissing Luke’s head is precious! Enjoy those snuggles!
Congratulations! Enjoy that beautiful boy.
Luke has the best chubby baby cheeks ever! Congratulations to your family! What a handsome and precious addition! ENJOY THIS TIME!!
Congratulations! So happy for you! Have a very Merry Christmas!
There is nothing more wonderful than a sweet newborn! Congrats to you, Tim and Meghan. Enjoy your beautiful family and Merry Christmas.
