Lucas Miller was born April 4th, 2009 at 1:34pm. He weighed in at 8lbs. 13ounces. He was 20 inches long!!!! He has red hair and a lot of it, Ashley did have a lot of heartburn! The story of his arrival goes a little something like this....... for two weeks before Ashley had been dilating and on April 3rd at her doctors appointment she was dilated to a four, but was not in active labor. Later that evening after having dinner with Melissa and Jordan Kaupanger, Ashley started to have some contractions that were 6 mins. apart so at midnight off we went to the hospital. After a couple hours there they sent her home because the contractions had slowed. The next morning at around 7:30 am the contractions were back at 8 mins. apart. then 8:30am they were 4mins. Well at around 9:45am Ashley had them coming fast and hard, so off we went to Mercy San Juan. They checked us in at 10:30am because Ashley was dialated to a 7! Then came the epidural (Ashley gives 2 thumbs up for this!!!!) Then she jumped to 9, and then 10!!!! At 12:30am Ashley started pushing and an hour later came our Little red head!!!!! Now it has been two weeks and we are so happy to have Lucas in our lives!!!!! He is such a blessing!!!! Enjoy the pictures!!!!
