Oh baby
I'm the baby, gotta love me.
Isaac doesn't like cameras, and he does everything he can to avoid getting his picture taken. So this one was a lucky shot! Plus you'll notice the rain behind him! In the last 4 months we've gotten less than an inch of rain. We've really missed it, and we're living in a drought. Thank goodness for todays rain storm!
There's not much we can say about Luke other than he's perfect. Although he didn't sleep well last night, I think we've already forgiven him for it. He's just so cute and loveable you really have to meet him in person! For you Utahn's that'll be in August! We can't wait for him to meet you all.
Oh and if you hadn't heard. His full name is Luke Elessar Rhone Larson. Just like Isaac his name carries lots of meaning and sarcasm. Thanks for all the love and support you've given us in your visits and your phone calls.

It's Hot Here
So we've had my mom here for a week, and my dad got here on Wednesday. Unluckily for both of them, our AC broke the day before my dad got here. It's close to 100 degrees outside, with lots of humidity, and we can safely say that our house is a miserable place to be right now. The AC still slightly worked, until yesterday it was completely warm. So last night was not pleasant, and I spent all night being worried that Luke would get overheated. At 5 in the morning, Brad and I took Luke out to the car to cool him off. Isaac amazingly slept through the night just fine. Anyways, as I type, we have some guys installing a new system, so we will be so grateful when they are done! As for now, we're at the library where it's nice and cool :) Here's a few more pics of the kiddos....
Yesterday we went to the outlet malls to escape the heat hole. Isaac is going through a pooh bear stage right now, and his grandparents spoiled him at the disney store. The boy is seriously attached to that bear.

video
1st video we're posting of Luke is unable to be uploaded here. Go to brad's facebook account to view it. :-) love you all!
More pictures
Someday we'll pay a psychologist a thousand dollars to only receive the diagnosis that Isaac is bipolar. But we already knew that.Isaac found a super fun new game called "Agua tickle!!"
Its a fun game where he asks his daddy to chase him around the house squirting him with a water bottle. He really LOVES playing, but then one second later he's sadder than the last unicorn being eaten by a dementor. Oh Isaac. He can change moods so sharply it's actually kind of entertaining. And everytime he gets hurt or something we thing... oh it's not so bad... wait for it... and then he giggles.
It's hot in Houston almost 100 degrees now, so we're breaking out the pool!
here's a good question for Isaac, which baby is most important?This pic focuses on Luke's skinny but LONG legs. He's a super star!

Isaac was born with brown light brown hair.
Luke has brown black brown hair (very noticable on his arms and his back even) (From the Harrisons)
Isaac definitely has Amy's "Udell feet." Very short and wide feet, almost like a two little squares with short fat toes.
Luke definitely has Brad's "Larson" feet, their about one inch wide and 3 inches long! Long and skinny feets and toes.
Amy says both boys have the same mouth. they both were born with dark dark eyes. And they both look like they inherited Brad's "Nye" nose.
Luke is a very plesant happy child, very similar to a baby kitten who naps 23 hours a day and then purrs at you when it wants food.
Isaac was born very angry for many days. He had the more tramautic birth.

Luke Elessar Larson
On Thursday, June 2nd, 2011, little Luke came into our lives. Thursday morning I had my weekly doctor's appointment at 9:40 in the morning. We left Isaac home with his Grandma and Grandpa Larson, and Great Grandma Geddes. They were only going to be in town for 3 more days, so I was going to ask if I could be induced. Another reason I wanted to be induced is I was scared of the baby getting too big. Birthing Isaac was not an easy experience, and the recovery reflected it. I really didn't want to go through all of that again. My due date was June 10th, and I knew everyday it got closer, the baby was getting bigger.
So at the doctor's, everything went as normal. Just before she was going to do the ultrasound, I asked if induction was a possibility. My doctor isn't a huge fan of induction, and likes to let things go naturally, but given my history, she said yes! We then noticed on the ultrasound that my amniotic fluid was getting low, so she would've been sending me over the hospital anyways. Luckily the hospital wasn't too full, so she said i could go over right then!
After getting all settled in, all the blood work done, and the icky IV placed, they started the pitocen at 11:45. Things seemed to go much faster then with Isaac, before I knew it, I was REALLY wanting an epidural, but the anesthesiologist was busy with another patient. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally got my drugs, and at 3:13 little Luke was born! I pushed for probably about 10 minutes (my best guess), and he was out. Overall, everything went WAY easier the second time around. Luke was 7 lbs 1 oz and 19.75 inches long. His hair is almost black, and already growing a mullet in the back :) He has super long skinny feet, toes, and fingers.
Everything went great that day, except for the whole time, Brad was feeling sicker and sicker. By that night he was running a fever and looked like he just wanted to crawl in bed and die. Even though, I was still not really up to taking care of a baby by myself, I told him he better go home and get a good night's sleep. I would just have to heavily rely on the nurses. Luke was an angel that night, and was easy as pie, I mostly didn't get much sleep just from nurses and other hospital personel coming in my room every hour. Sometime just to see if I was ok. It was annoying enough, that I decided I definatly wanted to go home the next day. No more overnighters at the hospital.
The next morning something happened that would prevent that though. I woke up with a sore throat. As the day went on I got sicker and sicker. By afternoon, I was having heat flashes, and then chills, I had a fever. The hospital didn't want to let me go home like that, so I had to stay another blasted night.
We were finally able to go home on Saturday, and Brad and I are still recovering from being sick, but overall we are doing really well. So far both Isaac and Luke have showed no signs of being sick, so we just need to pray it stays that way!
The Larson's went home early Sunday morning, and we just picked my mom up today! We have been shown so much support by our family, and our neighbors and ward. Thanks to everyone that have visited us and brought gifts, we truly feel loved!
