I should be sleeping


Jacob Samuel Lucido
"Jake"
9lbs 6 oz
21 1/2 inches
born at 5:50pm on May 7th

It was a great day. Induction went smoothly, I'm a rockstar pusher *ahem* and he was out in about 4 minutes and 5 pushes.

Y'all I can't stop looking at him. I'll get some more pictures but his little profile looks a lot like Sammy :-) His hair is dark with some lightish, reddish undertones, no ginger baby this time. He latched on at his first and second try - so far he's a nursing champ (hopefully I can keep pace with his champness, nursing hurts!).

We are enamored. In love. Amazed. Blessed.

Thank you Jesus!
