Luz has been keeping us uprised of her situation, the fun and pain of pregnancy, her fun of dealing with 'sub par' hospital staffs and the like-I'm glad she and Lucas have come through this with shining colors!

Congrats to the Kessler Family, from your Newsvine Family-and welcome to Lucas!

Holy cow, thank you everybody! I'm shocked, surprised, amazed, you name it. Ok, we are!

Right now, Sam Lucas is snoozing away in the crook of his daddy's arm and feeling rather content after an extended meal that lasted a half hour while hanging off mommy's chest.

But I must say: uncanny resemblance between the "impostor baby" and Sam Lucas. Especially when it comes to the facial expressions department. Uncanny!

Congrats and a hearty welcome to the little one.

Small side note and that is if your parents are anything like us then expect the baby to be spoiled in all the best ways they can think of. We even got my oldest grand son a 5 piece drum set when he was 3. Of course this means our sons never get to watch tv or sleep but it's a small price to pay :)

Ours still talk to us but they keep at it about why we didn't buy them the kinds of toys that we buy their kids. We tell them that it was because they still lived with us. Guitars for the girls now 9 and 7 along with books to learn how to play. Then there are the electronic toys which have to be hooked up to the TV. The games are fun but they also teach history and math so our boys can't complain to much. Their kids are straight A students with lots of interests in all subjects now.
