Meet...
Luke Ryan Whitsell
Born April 25th, 2011 at 6:25pm via c-section.
9lbs 10oz.
20 3/4 inches long.
Poor Mama was in labor for over 13 hours, before they decided his big ole' noggin wasn't gonna fit.
My favorite parts of our very first meeting...
His Mama kept calling him little pal and was so, so calm with him.
I got to see his first tubby...and hear him scream.
While Lukie was grabbing Bennett's finger and staring at him, B shook it and said "Hi Luke. I'm your Dad." In only the cutest way Bennett could.
He nursed for well over an hour...while Ry had to sit out in the hall.
When he started crying while his Mama was nursing him, she got the saddest look her face and said 'I don't like when he cries...Meg what do I do.'
It's amazing how that Mama instinct kicks in instantly.
Jaw dropping actually.
Joc and Bennett, they are in for it, they are smitten. Unconditionally, wholly, purely, absolutely, without a doubt, smitten.
As am I.
Don't tell anyone Luke, but you make me want another. I'm serious though. Keep your little lips sealed.

I knew I could count on you, last time I checked ur blog u most have been working on this post. I've been relying on my husband for details and cell phone pics. He is so beautiful and Joc and B look thrilled. I missed out by not being there. I got teary eyed about the baby cry cause it's true about a mothers emotion to her own baby crying. Love that!
Such a sweet post. So excited for them, so glad you got to be there for it all. Luke is darling. Can't wait to meet the little (big) guy!

So excited for them both. I knew that despite all Joc's fears of becoming a mom that she had it. She did not need to worry, she is a natural I am sure. Hope to meet him in person soon. Way to go Joc and B! Welcome baby Luke!
