Welcome, Luther!

So it's been a year since our last post! A lot's happened since then and we haven't been journaling it all. Hopefully, it won't be a year before our next one.

On Mar 1st, Luther Robert was born. It was fast! So fast, Mil didn't have time to get an epidural. If we were another half an hour later to the hospital, Mil might have given birth in the car! In fact, the baby came so quick, he was born before the doctor arrived (a mid-wife helped deliver, and she was terrific).

Here are the first photos of Little Lu from the hospital...




Luther checked in at 7 lb, 6 oz.





















Believe it or not, the lady on the right was Mil's and my preschool teacher, Becky O'Connell. Turns out long before Mil & I met at UIC, we actually were in the same preschool class together. And she happened to be working in the hospital that night!
















The hospital gave us a complimentary "Celebration Dinner" that was a more special meal than the normal fare they would've given. It was a nice touch.

We'll post more photos soon...hopefully sooner than a year from now!
