Snowpocalypse

Well Lucas here it is. The big one. There are more than 28 inches of snow outside. The biggest Storm that MD has ever seen. So needless to say we have some time to kill as we are all snowed in today. The only adventuring outside we have done is to take the dog out. This has been met with mixed results. Not only did I have to shovel a path for the dog as the snow is over his head. The snow is coming down so thick that I keep expecting to see out of the shadows a predator or maybe even an abominable snowman attacking me. This is one heck of a storm.

But it did help your loving parents to finally get started on a project that we had been talking about for quite some time. The creation of this blog ..... this will hopefully be something that one day when we are older you can look back on see all of the crazy things that we went through as you were growing up. Kind of like a digital baby book that hopefully will continue throughout your adolescence. This is a family project so both your mother and I will be posting... (once I show her how the site works). The duel purpose of this blog is also to share our adventures with family back in Pittsburgh who are not able to be a part of the day to day activities of our family. This is of course contingent upon Grandpa getting grandma a computer and then grandma figuring out how to use it. But If they can't figure it out they may have another option :)



Now that we have all of that out of way it brings us to how we are going to handle this first post. I think the best way to handle this is to bring you up to speed on that last three weeks. So lets start at the beginning the day before you were born... Your mother had a doctor appt that day. The doctor told us that you were still not ready to come out and that we could schedule and induction for a week later. Well needless to say you had other ideas and later that night you broke mommies water and got the process going. So off we go to the hospital and the next day you were born. This turned out to be the greatest day of our lives. It was the day we went from a couple to family and well things will never be the same.

The story was actually pretty crazy. After your mommy was in labor for 13 hours the decision was made that your huge pumpkin head was not going to allow you to get out of mommies small hips. So the only option at that point was a C section. This means well they were going to make a skylight in your little house and get you out that way... or Give you a womb with a view... :) Once the plan of action was decided it moved pretty quick and about 30 minutes later you were with us.... 8lbs 13oz and 21 inches of perfect baby. You and your mommy did a fantastic job and 3 days later we were home.

The last three weeks have been a crazy adjustment for all of us. We have gone from happy hours to conversations about poop color/texture and nipple soreness (your moms not yours) But in truth we wouldn't trade one second of it you are so freaking cool. You amaze us every day. I can't wait to see what you are going to do next. I am very much looking forward seeing you smile. That should be the next big milestone that we have. I can't wait for you to do it. Then we rolling over. After that from what I hear things are going to change pretty quick.



There is one thing however we are very worried about... you may have a horrible genetic defect... there is some thought that you may have... Ginger-Vitus. This sadly may have been passed on by me and my side of the family. But don't worry we don't know for sure and I have put your name on a ton of prayer chains.. If however it is determined that you have this awful problem I promise we will invest in tons of hats, long sleeve shirts and as much spf 100 that we can legally buy. Somehow we will learn as family to cope with the fact that the sun is you natural enemy. All right I hate to cut this first blog short but I plan on being active and well you are fussy with hiccups and typing while trying to console you is not going all that well. I love you and will talk to you soon.
