Our son Luka

Four days late and just before his arrival would have been induced, our son decided to arrive on his own terms - he was born just past midnight after a speedy delivery and was put in Corine's arms. It was amazing to finally meet him and hold him in our arms. So tiny and so perfect. He started looking with his big blue eyes from day one. He is a very relaxed baby, quite happy to look around and explore his new surroundings. He sleeps well allowing his parents to get quite a bit of sleep. He loves his milk. And skin peeled all over his body as he was “overcooked” in Corine’s bump. Here are some photos of his first week.
