Daunee and I took in a movie the other night while our young and talented son stayed with his mema. We thought it would be the last chance for a while. Everything was going good. We got to the movie on time, we loaded up on pop and popcorn and we got seated. Before the movie started, Daunee' got a little sad because she could smell her baby on her sweater. I told her we could go home any time, but she got through it and we enjoyed watching Blind Side. I recommend it to anyone.
It is a strong bond that Daunee' shares with our son. She is going to be a great mom. Loving, passionate, understanding, kind.....etc....etc. I could list a thousand things that she is and will be for Lucas and our other children as our family will hopefully grow in the next couple of years.

The Power of God and Prayer
It just dawned on me that I got caught up in my new life as a dad and this blogging business that I didn't thank the one that matters...God.
Without the prayers of those who love us, the people we go to church with and the friends that we have made, we wouldn't have been able to get through such times. With a high possibility of a c-section, God answered the prayers of many people who came together for Daunee', Lucas and I. We are very blessed and grateful. Thank you God and everyone for your prayers.
Lift up your life in every aspect to God and he will be there, always. He never gives us more than we can handle.

I always knew...
I always knew...
That Daunee' was the exact person for me
That she would be the perfect person to live the rest of my life with
And that she would be the best mom I would ever know, next to my mom (wink)
There are many things in our life together that has proved these things to me and recently she made me the proudest husband and father you will ever know.
We were in the hosptial for over 37 hours and she was in labor for 12 of those hours, over three of them in intense labor and she never gave up. She may have been frustrated and tired and wanting to give up, but she never did. When everyone thought she would have a c-section, she never gave up.
You see on t.v. how husbands faint watching the birth and even during lamaze classes it was joked about. To be honest, it is easy to handle. What you don't see on t.v. and what you don't expect is how you feel when you see the one person you love on this earth more than anything, go through a pain that as a man I will never know, and as a husband I had no control over or any ability to help her with. During her final pushing moments, my only job was to count to ten and I almost asked our midwife to take over because I was so choked up from how proud of her I was and how much I hurt not being able to help her and to see her push through the pain and keep going, not wanting to rest. She was determined, and she deliverd, litteraly, a beautiful healthy boy.
Thank you Daunee'. I love you beyond recognition.

First Check-up
Today we went to see our pediatrician for Lucas's first check-up. We are lucky to have a baby that likes his car rides so he was peaceful until we got there. He was remeasured and weighed and is normal for genius children. He had a good poop that my mother-in-law changed for me because Daunee' was doing paperwork. He got pretty fussy when we stripped him and weighed him, but soon his mom showed up and breast fed him. Such a big boy needs a lot of food. Maybe I will get lucky and he will stop eating so much as he gets older, like in high school. I don't want to pay to feed him if he is anything like my mom claimed I was like. But you can't raise the perfect human specimen without a few sacrifices. In all seriousness, God has blessed us with many things and a healthy and happy baby boy is the top by far.
What would we do without Grandmas
Grandma Kennedy, Thank you for coming to see baby Lucas and for all your help and advice. And thanks for all the photo documentation. We love you, the dog, Lucas, Daunee and I.
Grandma Wilson, Thank you for staying with us through our first days as new parents. You are a book of advice and a strong support for Daunee'. We love you, the dog, Lucas, Daunee' and Damion

Heading home from the hospital
This is Lucas. He wanted to walk home (already) but I told him that his grandma wanted pictures of him in his carseat. He agreed not to make her mad and decided he would walk another day.

Grandpa Kennedy
Lucas got to meet his Grandpa Kennedy for the first time. He seemed to fuss when Dad had him. I don't think he minded too much. Here are some photos.
