My sister and her husband (Alissa and Greg) had their baby - Luke Gregory Melton! He was born on Wednesday at 3:30 and weighs 8lbs, 1 oz and is 20 3/4 inches long - BIG baby (he was originally due on April 1)! I was in California still and was an emotional wreck because all I wanted to do was be with my sister (I have an event this weekend I have to be at). She had a very difficult labor and was in alot of pain (almost 24 hours in the hospital before he was born). He wouldn't move even though she was contracting every 3 minutes for 45 sec to 1 min. So they finally induced before she got drugs in her body which I guess was just horrifying! She was finally able to sleep some after they finally got drugs in her poor body. The greatest thing was that my mom called me while she pushed so I could hear it all. His cry was so beautiful... and she says all the pain was worth it as soon as she saw him! Though I was sad I wasn't physically there I was so glad to be there over the phone. He's beautiful and healthy and has the cutest dimple! I'm going out in a month to help her out (we're all taking turns!) so I'm sure I'll have more pictures!
