Today we are celebrating another GIFT FROM GOD--our beautiful grandson, Lucas McLeod Robertson, born to our daughter, Amy, on September 24, 08. He was delivered by emergency C-section after 25 hours of scary labor, where his heart rate dropped several times, causing us to fear we would lose him! He is a fighter, and appears to be perfectly healthy and robust! He spent the first 5 days of life in the neonatal intensive care unit, but was the "jock" of that group, weighing in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces. He is 24 inches long, and has black hair! Of course, Meme and G-daddy are proud to have him and his mommy visiting in our home for a couple of weeks as they get ready to face the world as a new family! Cousin Charli loves her "baby Uke" and tells everyone he is her baby! I feel very sure that Julia and Sam will challenge her ownership when they get to visit. Because he was in NICU, the little ones didn't get to meet him yet, and Julia and Sam can't wait to get over here from Rome to hold their baby cousin! Aunt Pam got to be here for Luke's birth, and she adores him! Uncle Matt, a pro at babies himself, jumped up the other night to tend to Luke before Meme even heard him! Here are a couple of pictures so you can see for yourselves what our newest grandson looks like! He is precious, and is truly a cherished baby!!!
