a.m......the day begins! Our kids so excited and ready to welcome there sweet baby Luke! You never know how things will go. Labor was long...she had actually started having labor pains the day before. Much later in the day (9 p.m.), mom developed a fever and it was decided that Baby Luke would be born Cesarean Section. So off they went...our sweet family and the rest of us waiting patiently (NOT!!!!). There were some complications in the O.R. Megan's blood pressured dropped, but after some very stressful moments for the two of them it was stabilized and sweet Ba
by Luke made his appearance!! We are so, so, so, so proud of Megan. The day she had was long and hard!! She hung in there and her focus was getting sweet baby Luke born! And our son by her side being such a loving and supportive husband......so amazing to watch the day unfold.
Born at 10:38 p.m. on 8-5, weighing 8 pounds and 5 ounces, and 20 inches long with a very healthy cry!! Another scare though..right after the picture on the left was taken Megan's blood pressure shot up to 168....worry, worry, 
worry...but the doctors and nurses sprung in to action and quickly (have to say it seemed like forever) stabilized her. Daddy and Luke go off to the nursery.....my baby boy becomes a dad right before my eyes .....
...and today, baby Luke, Daddy and grandpa..three generations. 
and ....yipeeeeeee I'm a grandma!!!! He has stolen all our hearts...the best feeling I could have ever imagined! 
Some of my photos were blurry and didn't come out.... but not to worry more to follow :-)!!! Life is good and we are very grateful that mom and baby are doing so well and grateful for our new sweet little guy!! Thanks for all your wonderful comments and emails. What support and friendship....amazing! See you later alligators!

What a sweet little lad- so worth the wait. I hope Megan's blood pressure stabilises. How exciting and worrying all rolled into one.
So happy for everyone. My eldest is 15 so I have quite a wait before I feel all those grandmotherly emotions. I'm so glad the wait is over and you can all get to know the little lad.
Congratulations to you all - what a lucky little baby to be born into such a family.
Thanks for sharing such a special day with us......give that baby Luke lots of hugs and cuddles.

Congratulations to Megan and Matt, welcome baby Luke. Cheryl I just had to let you know that what a fantastic day Luke was born on because 14 years ago on August 5th my son was born and it is my Mum's birthday too so triple a good day. So big congrats from across the big pond!!
Awwwwwwww, I have tears in my eyes reading this. Congratulations to all of you!!

Congratulations, Grandma! Give him lots of hugs and kisses for us!
OHMYGOSH!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! How Exciting! I loved reading your post and I have to say that when I read the line about your little boy becoming a dad right before your eyes I burst into tears. They're rolling down my face -- look what you've done! You must be in seventh heaven!!! Have a wonderful time!!!!
Woo Hoo!!! So glad he's here and everyone is safe and healthy!!! And oh my goodness is he adorable or what?? Have fun in these first days of "grannyhood". I'm looking forward to more pictures :)
Congratulations, grammie (that is Buddy's favorite new name to call his grandma's and it sounds adorable in his little voice)! So glad it all ended well. I would have been very nervous about that blood pressure. We have been in that sort of situation with my labor when time feels as though it is standing still. It is very uncomfortable. What a nice little family you have there. I am sure you will be just so sweet to help the new parents with a few meals and maybe a bit of rocking so mama can catch a few zzzzz's. I remember how nice the meals folks brought over were.
Congratulations! What a beautiful family!
Congratulations.
Teresa
He's so cute! I'm so glad that everything is ok now and that little Luke is here. You will be a great gramma!
I am so happy for you! Congratulations Grandma! What a beautiful occasion! Cheers!
Cheryl we got back last night and I just got to the computer...checked your blog first. Oh I am sooooooo excited for you and that beautiful family. You said it exactly right...there's something about seeing your baby boy with a baby boy of his own...OMG! I told you it was a feeling like no other. Tons of special thoughts for all of you!
