Luke Kevin Pyeatt

Luke is doing awesome! Pretty much since he was born, he sleeps about 4 hours at a time during the night (and one night even 7 hours straight)! I have also been able to get Luke and Peyton to nap at the same time so then I usually get a nap too! So I am not exhausted like most moms with newborns are! Luke does spit up quite a bit but I don't think it's as much as Peyton did so hopefully it won't be as bad (crossing my fingers). Luke also sleeps by himself which Peyton liked to be held all the time even to sleep.

The first week, my hormones and emotions were all over the place but now the adjustment so far has been really good and I am enjoying being a mom to 2 and watching Luke grow and Peyton being an awesome big brother! I have even ventured out several times by myself with both kids which I thought would take months to do!

Luke's stats from his 2 week appointment are:
weight - 7 lbs 14 oz - 24 percentile
height -20 3/4 inches -52 percentile
head circumference - 14 1/4 inches - 32 percentile

Here Luke is 15 days old. He is very active when he's down on the floor and actually rolled from tummy to back a few days after this picture (17 days)!!


8 days


10 days - He smiles quite a bit in his sleep and it's so cute!!


10 days


11 days


18 days-I took these pictures after I gave him a bath. Since his umbilical cord has fallen off, I have given him "real" bathes and he enjoys these a lot better than the sponge bathes which makes it fun!


18 days


He is so cute and I can't believe how fast these past 2 1/2 weeks have gone by and it makes me sad that already he is getting bigger and older. With Peyton I was so nervous and scared and worried being a new mom that I didn't enjoy Peyton as much as I enjoy Luke and that makes me sad. But having Luke has made me love Peyton more and that makes me happy!
