Would you like me to make you a t-shirt like Sophie and Courtney now wear that says I’m A New Auntie?

I could add a few iron-ons like I did for them. ;)

Congrats on the Big’n

63 abby December 8, 2009 at 4:45 pm

First of all, you and your sister look just alike! Secondly, LOVE the scarf. And third… I think that you holding that baby looks pretty natural…maybe you need one of your own:)

64 Jen Fitz December 8, 2009 at 4:47 pm

This is the first pic I’ve seen of him…he totally looks like Chris…
I got her beat though at 9lbs 2 oz!! ;)

65 Lorinda December 8, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Wonderful baby boy! I love his name!

66 CathyBB December 8, 2009 at 5:52 pm

Wonderful news! I’m a lurker but had to say I have been feeling her pain since you said she was overdue!

My firstborn is a Luke, too, and he was 9 lbs, so I feel I can predict this baby will grow up to be absolutely wonderful! It works that way, right? ;)

P.S. Total killer scarf!

67 Erin December 8, 2009 at 5:56 pm

Precious pics! My three boys all came in close to 9lbs each………

I love the picture of you holding the little darlin.

68 Lesley December 8, 2009 at 6:17 pm

Congrats! My three sons would love a baby boy named Luke or Obi Wan. Seriously.

69 ccr in MA December 8, 2009 at 6:51 pm

Oh, he’s beautiful! Congratulations to all. Love the name, too.

70 Deb. December 8, 2009 at 7:41 pm

71 Stylish Housewife December 8, 2009 at 7:47 pm

You will never know how excited I was to find out I owned the same scarf as Big Mama! I love the fall colors in it. Congratulations on Baby Luke!

72 Amanda @ Serenity Now December 8, 2009 at 8:26 pm

Congratulations, Auntie. ;) Hope your sister is feeling well. He is a cutie!!!

73 Kim December 8, 2009 at 11:02 pm

CONGRATS
I love babies!
What a blessing
and 8 lbs he is a BIG boy!!
Much love
Kim

74 Ashleigh (Heart and Home) December 9, 2009 at 12:49 am

Be still my womb. His cuteness melts me.

So basically, your sister is simply a clone of you. And then came Caroline. Is Luke just another one of the batch??

75 Sara December 9, 2009 at 7:59 am

What a beautiful baby! I have a baby Luke except he’s 6. Congrats!!

76 Robin December 9, 2009 at 11:07 am

That poor girl…8lbs, 15oz…that’s just wrong. Having experienced birthing a 9lb man-child myself, I hereby grant her the right to say she had a 9lb baby…what’s an ounce?? ;)

77 Emily D December 9, 2009 at 12:07 pm

He is precious! You just upped my baby itch. I need benedryl & quick! :) Oh newborn babies… Smell him for me please!

78 Annie December 9, 2009 at 4:17 pm

Congrats, Aunt Melanie! He is beautiful, and nephews are so fun!

79 Hilary December 9, 2009 at 5:30 pm

So precious! My little boy’s middle name is Christopher too. Btw, in the word of my eight year-old, “You can rock a scarf!” You look darling as ever.

Also, I still have to read your “rodentia duracell” post over & over, because I have never laughed so hard. :)

80 Tammy H. December 10, 2009 at 11:21 am

Is it wrong that when I look at the pictures of your precious new nephew, all I notice is how great your bangs look? He is precious, but bangs are hard to pull off and yours look FABULOUS!!
