Dr. Salter showing me Luke for the first time. I can't even describe the joy I felt when I first saw him. I never understood, now I do. 
This is one of my favorite pictures. This is on the warming hut in the operating room where he was dried and quickly assessed. I was surprised by how calm he was. He just looked all around with everyone poking and prodding. He was squinting because he wasn't used to all the lights.
Stop posing Tommy, let me see my baby!
This is the first time Jennifer saw Luke, and that's me showing her. I hated taking him away from her, but we had to so he could be assessed and she could get sewn up. She said it wasn't that bad---the anesthesiologist put her to sleep for awhile.
First bath. He was SOOO calm. Water splashing all over his face, and he was acting like he always gets baths from older women. That a boy!
This is the first time mom got to hold Luke. He knew exactly who she was. The moment was priceless.
It was a traumatic night for both of them and this was well deserved rest.
Another one of my favorites
I know it's just a reflex, but it still feels good when he holds on to you.
Leaving the hospital and Luke riding in his car seat for the first time. Jenn says this is the most comfortable robe ever--she's been in it four days straight, and I don't see it coming off anytime soon.
Luke's first ride in the car. You can tell he enjoyed it--or he was just enjoying Jenn's finger.Hey mom, get me some clothes that fit!
