New Home

It has been a wild week.

New baby
New home

Please excuse the mess! Our house is still very much under construction and we have moving boxes everywhere. While I feel great after Lucas's birth, I'm not much help with unpacking. It will probably be several months before we are even close to unpacked...

Welcome Lucas Ethan Wehmeyer!

Lucas Ethan Wehmeyer was born 2/11/12 at 1:00pm. 6lbs, 14oz and 20 inches. 

 We went in for the induction at 41 weeks due to low fluid levels and began pitocin at about 9am. My water was broken around 11am and Lucas was born with out any pain meds or epidural at 1:00pm after about 1/2 a push. I used my hypnobabies tracks, Loren, and my doula, Kathleen to make it all the way to transition very smoothly. Once transition hit, things went very quickly (about 10 mins), and we weren't even sure if Carlos (our Dr.) was going to make it in time, but he did!

 Luke had a bit of trouble clearing fluid from his lungs and so was taken to the NICU for a few hours. I was so happy to get him back with me!

Kate was awesome and watched the entire thing. She even helped cut the cord!

We were discharged after only about 24 hours in the hospital. But once we left the hospital we drove 4 hours to our new home in Boerne, TX where Kent and Debbie had been working hard to get things ready for us.
