Hey guys! It's Jeff signing in with a little on Luke's babtism. We started out on Sunday morning with a bit of sunshine. This was so wonderful, since we spent the last two weeks facing off with very unsettled weather. Luke must have known the big day was here when he decided to sleep in past his usual 7:30am. It's funny to see Luke out sleep one of us in the am.! Sean and I made our way out of town to pick up uncle Alec for the occasion the night earlier. It was nice to wake up and have a couple of my own family members hanging around the condo. We all got cleaned and caffined and in true fashion Daniela had Sean and I suited up for 9:30am. Lisa showed up smiling with a brand new suit for Luke to wear on his big day! Together, Sean and Lisa dressedhim up and with a quick"cheers" we were on our way to meet Father Mick at St. Patricks church downtown. There was another baby named Michael being baptized at the same time. The baptism went wonderful. Luke wasn't fussy at all until the last twenty minutes of the baptism.There we stood at the front of the church with a very unhappy camper! I remember thinking,"God, can't you do something for him". Right then, Mick put the show on hold and sent Daniela backstage to top Luke up so we could finish the deal with a happy baby. When she came back Fr. Mick humored everyone when he mentioned,"all I did was say he really does look like Roger"! Well, we all finished with a cheer and a smile and the day turned out to be just awsome! We all met back at the condo for some snacks and cold ones. For dinner we went to the Old Mill up the street and spent some time laughing, eating and just having a great time.It was so nice to have Kristy, Roy and Tristan around for the week. We had a blast watching Tristan run around with a smile on most of the time. Luke just turned his head side to side watching every move he made. Tristan never beat Luke up at all (I think they really liked each other)Hope everyone's doing great!
Look forward to seeing you guys at thanksgiving! Jeff, Daniela and Luke Roger!
JULY 1, 20062:40am - Canada Day!8lbs 12oz.
Hi everyone,On July 1, 2006 - CANADA DAY @ 2:40am Luke Roger Loberg was born. 8lbs 12oz.
He was 2 weeks late. My expected date of delivery was June 19th; however, that day came and went. On June 27th I went in for a scheduled ultra sound appointment at St. Joe's for a stress test. They sent me home and said that everything was fine and that the baby wasn't ready to come out yet. I met with midwife Anne who scheduled another ultra sound appointment for me on June 30th for another stress test. Well at that appointment St. Joe's sent me home again and said that I needed to keep waiting. You could imagine my anxiety at this time. As soon as I got home from the hospital I got a call from Anne who told me that my amniotic fluid was a little low and she wanted to run another stress test on me. She told me to bring all of my bags just in case they decided to induce me. After an hour of checking the baby's heartbeat on the monitor Dr. Singh (he was awsome), suggested they break my water to get some contractions going. I discussed this with Anne and she agreed this would be the best choice instead of waiting until Monday for my scheduled induction. I couldn't believe that this was it!!! I called Jeff at work and he was sooo excited.Dr. Singh broke my water at 2pm. I walked around St. Joe's until 4pm...No Contractions came. At that point they need to hook me up to all of the monitors to get contractions going. I needed to be put on an IV, the drip...Oxytocin (is this the correct spelling....?), and a monitor for the baby's heartbeat. It was then suggested to me to get an epidural because basically I would be restricted to the hospital bed. I decided to wait it out to see how I would feel. Well by 11:00 pm I decided to go ahead and get the epidural. My contractions were 70 sec long and 30 seconds apart. I was 6 cm dialatd. Anne and I discussed getting the drug again because I was in pain and I was unable to sit on the ball, walk around, or even stand-up out of the bed. I had to lye flat on my back or side which was pretty difficult and painful. I couldn't practice all of the exercises we learned in prenatel class. It was pretty disheartening :( I ended up getting the epidural at 11:30pm in which I immidiatly felt better. I started pushing at 12:30am with Anne delivering the baby. By 1:30am Dr. Singh came into the delivery room and said that he needed to take over to get the baby out. He had forceps near by. Oh my God...at that point I was determined to push this baby out. I asked for a mirror...which I highly recommed to everyone...and pushed the baby out at 2:40am....no forceps needed. It was so amazing. Anne was by my side the whole time. She was incredible. And Jeff was unbelieveable through the whole thing. I couldn't have done it without him by my side. Jennifer the breathing really helped. Near the end "DOWN" and "OUT" were heard throughout the St. Joe's hallway. And breatfeeding is going great. Thanks for all the knowledge :)
Luke Roger Loberg is one week old today. He is now 9lbs 1 oz...already!! Jeff and I are so over joyed:)Good Luck to everyone in prenatel class. Daniela, Jeff & Luke Loberg.
Well my Due Date has come and gone. It is now June 20th and I am officially one day over due. Jeff and I are patiently waiting for the little one to arrive. I have been feeling a little crampy but all in all I'm doing ok. 
Tomorrow we have an appointment with our midwife to check up on my progress. Hopefully it won't be too much longer....I am really starting to feel uncomfortable with this big belly. We will keep you posted.
On Halloween night we dressed Luke up as a pumpkin and took him door to door to visit family. Jeff had a great time collecting the treats for Luke knowing well Luke wouldn't be able to eat them....hmmmm ??? 
It was a fun night and Luke looked so cute in his costume! 
We had alot of fun with great games and yummy food. Thanks again to everyone for their generous gifts. Baby Loberg sure is one lucky boy or girl!
