FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE WORLD

Lukas Friedrich Lentz was born at 12:07 pm, Friday, June 15, 2007. He was 9 pounds even and 21 inches long. We had some minor complications in labor earlier that morning. After the doctor broke my water, Lukas' heart rate dropped. The doctor was able to stabilize him, but we decided to go ahead and have a c-section. There was no need for me to risk further stress on him just to have a natural birth. We experienced every emotion possible in that 24 hour time period. It was the most amazing thing to hear his first cry and to know that little thing that had been inside of me was a real little boy. He is really great. We are slowly figuring each other out and we are all three getting into a schedule. I'm feeling pretty good, but obviously sore from the c-section. Christian has been doing a great job of taking care of stuff around the house, and taking care of me. I have only had one period that was overwhelming. Overall, I am just taking things as they come and making the adjustments I need to. I feel pretty confident about being able to do this, and just love looking at this little thing Christian and I made.
