Luke David Payne

Luke David Payne was born 11/1/11, 8 lb 6 oz, 21 in long.

No dramatic birth stories here, thank goodness! I was induced the morning of the 1st (I actually started having inconsistent contractions that morning, but they went ahead and induced me to get the contractions really going). The pain started picking up so I got my epidural, and everything went great! I actually think he could have came a few minutes earlier (I kept feeling lots of pressure). I told the nurse, but she didn't want to check me just to have to check me again and again. So she waited, and by the time she checked me she told me not to push!

We think he looks a lot like Brek. What do you think?













We actually took Luke home without a name! Go figure, huh? We've come close with the other two, but we actually did it with Luke! He was born on Tuesday and he finally got his name on Friday. I had to go back to the hospital to fill out the paperwork. We finally decided he looked like a Luke. We chose the name David because of all of the good Davids Brock has known and been close to.

Luke is turning into a good, little baby. He sleeps really well at night now (Brek actually wakes up more than he does!), and he is a good eater. I just wish he would not spit up so much. That's okay though, because he is starting to fill out and turn into a chunky baby!

The kids love Luke! They are constantly right in his face talking to him, kissing him, and touching him. We feel really blessed to have this beautiful new boy in our family!
