Baby Luke is weighed for the first time!

Luke met mommy for the first time in surgery!


MeMe is so happy to meet this little guy as mommy looks on!


G-Daddy is telling Luke about "the building" and the fun they'll have out there!


We are currently celebrating the arrival of our fourth grandchild, Lucas McLeod Robertson, who was born on Wednesday, September 24, 08 at 8:01 a.m. He weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 21 inches long. Luke gave us quite a scare during labor, as his heart rate dropped several times, to as low as 12, instead of the 140 beats per minute it was originally! The doctor placed a probe on his head, and they completely lost the heartbeat, briefly, before deciding an emergency c-section was in order to get him out safely! He spent the first 5 days of life in the neonatal intensive care unit and did very well! We brought him home on Monday and he is thriving! We are so blessed to have these wonderful grandchildren. Cousin Charli says that he is her "baby Uke" and Julia and Sam can't wait to meet him. Due to his being in the NICU nursery, Juila and Sam weren't allowed to visit, so when he came home to Glencoe, Charli met him first. What a wonderful time we've had! Here's a peek at our newest! We hope you agree--HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
