The First Year Photo Gallery by Doug & Mackenzie at pbase.com

The First Year

After 20 1/2 hours of labor, Lucas decided to make an appearance. Mackenzie's labor began at about 1:00 a.m. on the 28th. Her water broke at about 3:00 a.m. so we made our way to the hospital. I think the cab driver was a little nervous but we all made it there in one piece. After a few hours, her labor slowed so they gave her Pitossin to speed things up. She started pushing at about 7:00 p.m. and he was born at 9:30 p.m. Mom and baby are doing great. Mom and Dad are both very tired.

I love all your pictures and just viewed the new additions! Lucas is precious and will change your lives forever, in a wonderful way, as you already know! Thanks for sharing this very special time in your lives, with me. I will cherish those first few days that I spent with you. New Years Eve in NYC, listening to the Times Square revelry, rocking baby Lucas in your living room . . . it does not get any better than that! Love, Mom/Mema

Guest		19-Jan-2006 04:43
He really is such a "pretty" baby. (Sorry Doug, I know it doesn't sounds masculine for him). And 8 plus pounds. I don't know how that thing fit in your tiny body Mackenzie. Hope the drugs worked okay. Good luck with the newborn stage. Natalie Snow

We spent the holidays with friends and family in CT., MA., and NYC. I will be going to CT again in the spring. Maybe I can swing by and see you all. We love all three of you and send our hugs and kisses to you, Doug, Lucas and Mckenzie. With much love and joy, The Russons...Richard, Janet, Ashly, Kimberly and Mikey.

Rodger Peck		31-Dec-2005 01:56
Doug & Mackenzie, Congratulations! He's a great looking guy - and smart too! You can tell by the intense look he's giving his dad in the picture of the two of them. Lucas is thinking; "Okay, I remember you from our pre-existent life. You were a valiant spirit there, and I was so happy to know you were going to be the one to guide me through my first years on earth. I'm looking forward to the help. For now, just let me enjoy looking at you because I know it won't be long before I forget all those great memories. Oh, before I forget, I'm really glad you found mom. She's such a great spirit, and it's going to take all three of us together to do this earth thing right; I hear it's a real struggle down here. Be sure to tell mom that I love her." Anyway guys, that's what I see in the picture! Have a great day! Rodger.

Aprilyn Bucklein		30-Dec-2005 23:55
