Luke came into the world via C-section and right away let us all know he was a force to be reckoned with. As soon as he was out of the womb he began to pee, the docs backed up waited for him to finish and just when they thought it was safe to come back to the warmer he started again... Then when they rolled him on his belly to check out his back he pushed himself upon his arms and had a look around.... that was the point where we should have realized he had come to rule the roost.
It was tough to be in the hospital as a series of new moms came and went with their healthy babies while doctors came and went from my side of the room with new fears for my child. I had to talk myself out of the hormonal breakdown i desparately wanted but didn't have time for. My mother hen instinct was kicking in... he was so little, so vulnerable, and he was ours to care for and protect. Nothing they told us could change how much we loved him or how facinated we were with his every movement, nothing could make us not want him in our lives and his siblings felt the same. He was part of our hearts and he was family. It was love at first sight.
