Happy Halloween!!! Another 1st for Lucas!

Well Halloween is here and thanks to Aunt Emmy and Aunt Nanna Lucas had some pretty cute outfits to wear!! Emily bought him a Penguin costume for "Begger's Night" (although we didn't go door to door with Lucas...we stayed at Em's and passed out her candy!!) and Hannah supplied the cute Halloween outfit for the day!! What a cutie! :)

Lucas the Penguin and Walker the Turtle!!

All the "boy" cousins...Turtle, Mario and Penguin!

Since Wyatt was Mario...and he just LOVES Mario...we thought it would be fun if Jacob dressed up as Luigi...plans failed when even the XL costume was extremely indecent on him!! So...I dressed up as Luigi! :) What a fun night!

Lucas was tuckerd out after a fun day!! Can't wait for next Halloween...you may just see a repeat of that turtle costume :)

Indian Summer with Lucas!

Well we took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL Indian Summer weather on Sunday and headed south to Scioto Trails State Forrest.

It was a GEORGOUS day! We took the driving tour of the forrest and then stopped for lunch with Jacob's family.





AFter lunch Jacob and I climbed the fire tower with Lucas. WHAT A VIEW!!! (what a workout too! geesh) I might still be sore today...






Lucas loved every minute of it...I think :)

Four Generations...

Lucas is such a blessed baby! Just 2 short weeks after coming into this world he got to STAR in a 4 generation picture! Great Grandpa Francis "Scotty" Scott, Grandpa Dan Scott, Daddy Jacob Scott and Lucas Monroe Scott! 4 Generations of FIRST BORN Scott Men! Way to carry on the family name Lucas!! :)

Lucas' 1st Photo Shoot!!

Ok, so I have to admit. I'm not your "typical photo" person. I really hate the "standard" and THRIVE on the creative. So...after seeing what the hospital pictures looked like...I decided to have my very own photo shoot with Lucas today. I think they turned out REALLY well!!

This was the last pregnancy picture I took...just 3 days before Lucas was born. Who knew a 9lb baby was sitting in there!!

LUCAS MONROE IS HERE!!!!

October 3, 2009 is a day that changed our lives FOREVER!! At 4am my water broke and we were soon on our way to the hospital. After we arrived it was confirmed that my water did break and because we had chosen to do things "naturally" I was instructed to "start walkin"!! And walk I did...for about 3 hours we walked and walked and walked. My mom and Jacob's mom were at the hospital with us through the entire thing.

Making a long story short, I wasn't contracting like I should be and wasn't progressing as quickly as I needed to to go completely naturally without an excruciating amout of pain. We made a few revisions to our plan and one thing leading to another we were ready to start pushing at about 2:30am!! Lucas was born shortly after that at 4:50am and we couldn't have been happier!! We had asked the Doctor if it was ok if Jacob told me the gender of our baby, because we had kept it a surprise this whole time. I will never forget the tone in Jacob's voice when he said to me "It's a Boy Sarah, we have a Son!! Lucas is here!!" It was the most wonderful news I had ever been told!

Lucas Monroe Scott was born October 4, 2009 at 4:50am. He weighed 9lbs, 1oz and was 20.5 inches long. His head...14"...this is a big boy!! He is our pride and joy. He is a very laid back baby, with a head of brown hair...and he has his mama's blue eyes! We love him so much!

Thank you to everyone who prayed for us, encouraged us and were just "there" for us. We love you so much!
