I am overjoyed to announce that our second son, Lucas Alexander, was born on a perfectly clear, sunny morning last week weighing 7lb 12oz and measuring 20.5 inches. He’s a peanut compared to his big brother but won’t remain that way for very long if his voracious appetite is any indication.
We’re all feeling well and getting to know one another. I’ve spent hours staring at his tiny face searching for similarities and wondering who he is and who he’ll be. The newborn stuff came back to me fast and I’m surprised how much easier it all feels this second time around.
Lucas’ birth story isn’t without drama and deserves its own post so for now I’ll leave you with some shots taken over the past few days.
I can’t thank everyone enough for the love and encouragement and wish you all the best these last few weeks of summer…Jill
I am breathless!!!! He is beautiful Jill!!! So tiny and precious. My favorite photo is the one peering down at him, smiling with such tenderness and curiosity.

Aw, what an amazing post!
I am feeling quite the same…staring at his face..wondering who he looks like…at first sight, I thought Connor, but as he changes…he has a totally different look..which is so fun!
My birth wasn’t drama free either..but who’s is, really?
Hope you are settling in…it does feel easier and more natural this time around.
Best to you…he is beautiful.
