...and Luke makes 4!

Luke Alexander Johnson arrived into this wonderful world at 4:08pm on Friday, March 19th. He came a little early, but that's okay. I had an AFI (amniotic fluid index) of 5 and so it was decided it would be best for Luke to be delivered by C-Section that day. (Normal range is 8-18.) Even though I fought it, the c-section ended up being a blessing because he had meconium in the womb. He weighed 6 pounds, 12.8 ounces and measured 19 inches in length. His 1 minute APGAR score was a 9 and his 5 minute APGAR score was also a 9. :) He is absolute wonderful and the perfect fit for our family.

12 days

 

Larry is missing from this picture, but I promise he hasn't run for the hills quite yet. He is being the best "Mr. Mom" a girl could ask for. He has his hands full with Rya and is getting quite a good taste of what my life has been like for the past 23 months. :) (He's better at juggling her and the housework though.) Luke is 12 days old now and we are doing great. I get very anxious when I think about next Monday arriving. This is when Larry heads back to work. I have my two week wound check on Friday and I'm hoping the doctor will say I can attempt driving. I know she will say I need to wait a little longer before lifting Rya (or anything heavier than Luke), but hopefully I can at least drive and figure out the rest. We shall see though.
