Baby Luke Has Arrived!

Finally, some pictures of the Haeberle brothers are ready to share! Luke Joseph Haeberle made his entrance to the world at 7:51am on Monday, July 7th weighing in at 8lbs 7.7oz and 19.25 in long. So far, he is a great eater and sleeper (sleeps much much more than Jacob did, and falls asleep easily, without much help from us.) We came home on Wednesday afternoon and Jacob seems very happy to have Luke home with us. He is always wanting to give him kisses and asks to see him. He gets very excited when Luke actually opens his eyes, which isn't often yet. Though Luke doesn't cry much, Jacob seems very concerned when he does and lets us know immediately. What a good big brother.

Due to high bilirubin levels (which causes jaundice), Luke has had to spend almost all of his non-feeding time at home on a phototherapy bed, so we don't have nearly as many pictures of him at home with us as we would like. We will wean off of the bed by Sunday afternoon, so I hope to have lots more pics to share after then. I just want to hold him all day! Pray that his levels continue to decrease so that we won't have to go back on the bed next week.

In other Jacob news - he pee-peed in the potty for the first time yesterday-yay! It was fairly unprompted too, so we'll see how that goes. Go here for the rest of the week's pictures.
