Oh what a beautiful sound...

...a heartbeat that is! It really hit Laura and I when Doctor Killeen flipped on the sound switch and we heard the "swish, swish, swish" of a heartbeat. It's amazing that at only 8 weeks we can now see our baby forming. Everything at the appointment went off without a hitch. The doctor said that everything looks normal at this point. Laura was really relieved that we only heard one heartbeat. She was really worried about the possibility of twins. (I wouldn't have minded...you need strong and weak side tackles on the line of scrimmage.) Our due date is officially April 5th, 2009 (Palm Sunday). Our next appointment is at the end of next month, but until then....here's the first pic!!!


P.S. For a lot of you this is probably the first post you're reading. We wanted to wait until the doctor gave us the "o.k." There are older posts in front of this one and more posts to come (Including Laura's "first month" picture!) We're so happy to share this time of our life with all of you. Keep checking back!!!

congratulations. You were married almost 2 months before me and everyone I know around that got married around that time has kids. I'm not trying yet though. Need a house first :).

I wish you luck in building your family and hope everything turns out well :D

Luke and Laura,

Congratulations. That is great news! You've made my day over here in Iraq. I have added your blog to my list and I'll be checking it regularly, so keep us updated. Take lots of pictures; it is crazy to watch the little guy/girl form. Get ready for a miracle! Praise the Lord. -Brandon-

I am so happy for you guys! I remember how excited Logan and I were with Maddux and then Sawyer. Laura, you will be an excellent mom. Luke, we've never met, but if what my mom says is true about you, I'm sure you will be a loving father and very supportive husband (very important, especially with your first). Congratulations!
