Congratulations, Erica! Welcome Luke Anthony!!
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing Luke's birth story. Not more than I wanted to know it all. You did a great job on the natural delivery. Yeah, not just a boy, but a brother for Nicholas! My dh and I are both from families of six children, so your family has a special place in my heart.
Enjoy your babymoon.

Woo hoo, Erica! I LOVE birth stories so thanks so much for taking time out of your babymoon to share with us. And...
Luke is my dad's name and his birthday is April 14th. How cool is that?!
Did I mention that my dh is trying to wrangle a business trip to San Diego this summer?
Love,
