Most of you are aware that we welcomed, Keegan Luke into the world on Monday. What an incredible experience…I went from panic/meltdown mode on Sunday about having to be induced to shock mode on Monday when my labor only lasted 4 1/2 hours with only about 45 minutes of that being really intense. We were able to come home today and it’s been so nice to be back in the comforts of our own house.
Keegan is such a good baby. He only cries if he’s dirty or hungry and is already going about 3-4 hours between feedings. He’s so tiny and it seems like Cohen grew like a weed while I was in the hospital. He’s doing pretty well adjusting to having Keegan around. One of the first things he commented on is that he can now sit in my lap and lean on me without my belly being in the way.
We have lots of help here at home and I’m so thankful for it. It’s nice to have some extra hands to help keep Cohen occupied, Keegan held, dinners made and errands run. I’m planning to soak up all the extra nap time I can!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past few days… I’m sure there will be many more to come from our new family of 4!

You’re such a beautiful family of 4! I can’t wait to watch Keegan grow up (even if it’s through the internet).
