Settling In At Home...

Hanging out with Mom at Home

At the hospital

Our newest addition...

Mom, Dad, and Lukas are home from the hospital. Elisa went into labor at 5:30pm, Sunday night (December 17, 2006). After an hour commute thanks to a snow storm and accident on the freeway, we arrived at St. Mark's at 6:30pm. And then we played the waiting game.

Elisa was amazing. She was so strong through 16 hours of labor, and delivered our precious little baby boy (Lukas Edward Pierce) at 8:28am. Lukas was 7 lbs exactly, and 19 inches long. And he is absolutely beautiful. This first post is one of the first pictures of our little guy, and the posts above are of all of the other moments we've had in just 5 days with him. Lukas will be 1 week old on Christmas Day!

They're excited too...

And how could we forget the pugs? We decided to put them in the crib so they could get used to life in the nursery. We're both wondering what the pugs will be like once Lukas gets here, but something tells me they will love to follow him around and will become very protective of him immediately.

She's glowing...

I thought it would be perfect that our first blog post be a picture of my beautiful wife. We are nearing 33 weeks pregnant. Somewhere between 1-2 months from now, we will officially be parents of a bouncing baby boy. And we both can't wait. We'll be using this site to add photos of Elisa, the little critter, and our family. So anyone in town or out of town can participate in our fun! Enjoy!
