Well, Luke's first full day here on planet earth is drawing to a close, and by my calculations, that leaves only 6204 more daily posts until his 18th birthday. But right now we are trying to take it one day at a time, and I am sure Luke is feeling the same.

We had several visitors todaym starting with Grandma and Granpa Marcus. They certainly are excited about their first grandson. later, david's parents paid a visit, and both grandma's seem to have the magic touch already.

I had a few more visitors today, including Robyn and Aimee, good friends of Tami (thanks for the custom blanket Aimee), and Uncle Norman. I was a little fussy with my feeing today, but sure liked being next to my mom, and fell asleep several times in that position.

Today was also my first visit from my sisters, who each got to spend about 20 minutes each with me. Luke sure was cranky as they tried to hold me, but I hope they understand it wasn't them, it was just an interruption in my eating routine, which today was far from routine. They all seemed to really enjoy this first time with their new little brother.

Tami seems to be doing great, walking four times today, getting her IV lines out, and even got to get some real meals today. The doctors and nurses who were in today said she is doing great, and should be able to go home in just a couple days.

Well, it's about 10:30 now, and everyone is trying to get a few hours sleep before the next scheduled feeding. Until tomorrow, here are a few pictures from earlier today...
