Spoiled

Yesterday was my first day at home with Aaron back at work. Although Katie has a cold, the day went very well, and a good friend brought us an amazing supper so I didn't have to tackle that as well. Thank you! On top of this, Aaron came home with roses for me. I know we all say what great guys we have, but here is the proof! He even took Luke for a drive at 10:30 last night after a stretch of non stop crying. I am so very greatful for him!

A Week Already?

I can't believe that Luke is already a week old. I knew this time would pass quickly, but I am still sad that it does. Here are a few pictures that were taken yesterday of him awake (this doesn't happen often).

A Bike For the New Sister

On Wednesday we went out and purchased a run bike for Katie. It was something just for her that she wouldn't have to share...yet. She was thrilled with the idea, and maybe even just a little bit more excited about the new helmet that she also got. Aaron took her out for her first ride after her nap and it started out great, but our driveway has a bit of a slope and she picked up a bit more speed than she wanted. So for the time being we are a bit timid of the whole bike idea but we were able to get her back on for a few photos. I look at her in these pictures and she looks so grown up now especially with Luke to compare against.

And Then There Were 4

Luke Aaron Radke has finally joined us. He was born Saturday April 11 at 8:19am, weighing 7lbs 13oz. Much to our surprise he was 11 days early, which by the end I was sure that he would be right around his due date but definitely not early. Katie has been the proud sister and has announced that she is the big sister and now has a baby brother named Luke to almost everyone we meet. We are glad that she is so proud of him, but we think she as of today is starting to feel a little put out at times. We'll see how that plays out. Overall the transition has been easy, Luke sleeps very well and is a very contented baby. Here are a few shots of the last 4 days.

Colouring Easter Eggs

Just a few photos of the colouring. Unfortunately we had a limited colour supply since I forgot that the red was leaking and had been thrown away. O well, it was still fun and Katie didn't mind.

I Just Want to Sleep

Here it is midnight, and I know for some that it isn't that late, but I am tired and I want to sleep. I have tried to not complain too much, but I am tired of being pregnant. I want to meet this little person, and I want to lay down in bed and actually be comfortable. If it isn't too much to ask, I would also like to be able to roll over without waking up everytime! I know I am not the only one to feel this way, especially at this stage, but right now I haven't decided whether or not I want to cry or scream. I hope everyone else is sleeping well. I hope to join you soon (with some nightime interludes of course).
