Last Tuesday was a day in mine and Luke's life that we will never forget! We had been to the Dr. on Monday, and he told me that I could stop taking the medicine he had put me on for the pre-term labor. He then told us that we would have a baby on Friday, IF nothing happened in between. I was going about my daily routine with the boys on Tuesday, and making lunch when I started noticing that I was having some contractions. We finished lunch, and I got the boys down for a nap when I realized that I needed to start timing them. I called the Dr when the contractions were between 4-7 minutes apart, and they told me to head to the hospital and get hooked up to the monitors so they could see what was going on. So I called Luke and said this may be it! Luke rushed home from work, and started getting things together. The boys were still asleep, so Luke called on Adam to see if he would come and sit with them until one of the grandparents could get there. We got the the hospital around 2:30. They were so busy delivering babies that day, that it took us until 3:30 to get a room! After we were hooked up for a while, the nurse came in and said that Dr. Tucker had called and said that we would have a baby around 5:30. When family started arriving, everyone kept on and on about how there had been 11 babies born that day, and only two were little boys! I just knew that we would have baby Rhett and make number three! It was around 6:20 or so when they came and rolled me back to surgery. 6:49 p.m. on January 20, 2009, was a moment in mine and Luke's life that we will remember FOREVER! Dr. Tucker, and the nurse told us "IT'S A GIRL!" Luke and i looked at each other with little Lucy screaming in the background and we both had tears in our eyes! At that moment, I felt like my life was complete! So thank you Lucy Elizabeth for completing our little family, and I can not wait to see what the future hold for you and your big brothers!
