Luke Daniel Buh - born 5/5/10

He's finally here! We were scheduled to be induced on Thursday, May 6, but on Wednesday I woke up having contractions. Luke arrived at 6:54pm via c-section weighing 7lbs 6 oz. Here are some pics of his arrival.


Andy and Grandma kept an eye on Luke while I was in recovery.





3 hours later...I finally got to meet my baby! Mom says (I don't remember thanks to some fantastic pain killers) this was when I said "Oh my gosh, we're parents!" I just remember thinking he is perfect. :)



Here's Luke sporting a hat made by Aunt Andee. Thank goodness for this hat - it was cold and the hospital put him in a blue and pink striped hat! No pink on this little boy!


Hanging with Grandma and Grandpa at one day old...






Our family with our new little linebacker..(notice Luke's football outfit). So happy he's finally here!




Daddy admiring his little boy. I love this!

Baby Boo Preview

Today is our official due date! Can't believe it's already here. According to the Dr., nothing's happening yet. But we're in the homestretch! I feel like a hen sitting on an egg! And yes, I'm waddling like a duck. So while we're waiting for Baby Boo's arrival...we'll build the anticipation by looking back on some of the big moments as he's gone from just a little bean to a baby.

To see the journey from the beginning, start in the September, 2009 posts and work your way forward.

Big Mama

A few people have requested pictures of my baby bump...so here it is at my biggest (I hope)! Notice I wore black for its slimming effect. :)




Now all that's left to do is wait...We are so excited to meet Little Boy Boo! And can't wait to introduce him to his family!

The G-Squad

Grandma and Grandpa proved to be superheroes once again. We had just moved into our place the week before, so there was plenty to do! Grandma went to work on the baby's room...


And Grandpa went under the house to fix the loud banging in the pipes that was driving me crazy.



The crawl space served as a good time out room for Grandpa when I caught him eating too many of my Double Stuf OREOs. Get back in your hole!

Andy and Grandpa put the crib together




Here's a look at the before picture...




And the after...





Thanks for all your help Mom and Dad!! Baby Boo is going to love his new digs!

Little Oompa Loompa

New town, new doctor, new due date (moved from May 2 to April 26)...and a new look at our little one!



I think he looks like a little orange Andy!

A home in the hills

We found it! And not a minute too late! After looking at least 40 houses and getting discouraged, we bought the first one we had looked at. It was always Andy's favorite...can you tell?


Our favorite feature - the backyard with a view of the mountains.

YAY! We're home - good thing...just a few more months to go!

California - Kentucky - Nevada

We moved out of our California home on Christmas Day, went to El Paso for the Sun Bowl, then set off to start a new life in Kentucky...only to do a U-turn when Andy accepted his dream job in Nevada.

We were hooked up with a free casino room while we house hunted...this is us in our temporary home.



Seven months pregnant and starting to feel a breeze (see that gap under the shirt?) We better find a home fast or we're going to be setting up a crib in the casino!


Andy getting prepared for fatherhood :)



Total hotel stay: 54 days!!! But it was worth the wait to find a great house!
