Good Baby

This precious little man joined our family at 8:10 pm last night weighing in at 8 lbs 8 oz—my biggest baby yet. For arriving a few weeks early he's quite the mushy beefcake and we are all in love with him.
 More details to come but for now we must sleep and nurse, and sleep and nurse some more. I rather adore these calm, quiet days in the hospital cuddling my beautiful boy. I still cannot believe my body made him. He'll forever be my best Christmas miracle :)
and we're pretty certain his name is Luke but we're still deciding on his middle name...

That is a sweet baby! I'm so glad you posted--I've been wondering all day about the details, feeling SURE you must have had him since Joseph's updates last night!! Love the phrase "mushy beefcake". Nice work on creating an amazing new baby for Christmas!! Love you guys.

He's perfect. You're so lucky to always be so good to avoid the last few weeks of pregnancy. I'm not sure if you've heard, but mom gets pretty uncomfortable. Glad you are all well. Merry Christmas to Luke.

He is a beautiful, sturdy little boy. What a Christmas gift! Congratulations to you two, and so glad you are safely delivered, Carrie. Good job! Luke LeBaron sounds very cute together.

Congrats guys, he is cute. Hopefully at some point him and Kalinda's baby Macie can meet, one day apart and exact same weight, so weird. Him two weeks early and her one week late. He would have been huge if you went to term. Congrats again enjoy your first Christmas as a family of 6.
