Happy Family

Our first full day home. Because of so much help from my mom ... and a very sleepy baby ... I was able to shower and look somewhat presentable for a pciture. Our first family shot except for the one in the hospital where Luke and I look really really tired.

Camera Shy Already! "But Dad, I'm Hungy" -Leighton
"I love my Daddy" - Leighton

Is it weird that Leighton is tanner that I?

Bringing Him Home

Grandma and Grandpa Ludemann

Grandma and Grandpa Ludemann drove down to Des Moines on Saturday the 22nd.

Happy Birthday Baby Leighton Duke

March 21st, 2008. At 8 am my water broke, but wasn't sure that is what had happened, so I went to work from 8-Noon. I called the Dr and ended up going into the hospital with Luke at about 1. I was induced at 2:00, and the heavy contractions began immediately. At 7:40 I began pushing and at 8:05, Little Baby Leighton was born. He was 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. A Perfect Baby Boy!

Big Bump

My Friend Anna Judd took these pictures of us. It is amazing how big my stomach got.

Its also really cool to have Meg so close to go through pregnancy with. She is due April 10th and I am due April 2nd!

At Work

This is me at work. The tummy is getting bigger and bigger!

Baby Shower

After getting the first scheduled shower canceled, my mom and dad drove down to my shower the following weekend. They were here and snowed-in in mid-February when the shower was supposed to be, then the following Sunday they came for the rescheduled shower and then the next weekend they were here for Josh McDowell making it three consecutive weeks! We think you should just move here!
