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!

Sympathy Suit

Luke had to try on a sympathy suit at birthing class. He said that it made him have to pee!

First Bump Sightings

Not sure exactly when this picture was taken, but it sure was exciting to start showing .. even if only a small bump.
