Luke Steven Jongsma, 9 pds., born Feb 20, 2008 @ 3pm. Contractions began at 3am and by 3pm he had arrived. Mom thought everything went very well for the most part, back labor was the worst of it. That was until the next morning when mom tried to walk. I couldn't. Dr's discovered that Mom had a seperated pelvis and that I would require a walker to get around along with Physical Therapy to recover.
Mom had a very hard recovery from Luke. I had the flu the week before he arrived. While in the hospital I still had a cough, sinus congestion, and double ear aches. With a seperated pelvis and torn abdominal muscles, the Dr. placed mom on 2nd dose of antibiotics to get her better. Mom found out she was allergic to Penicillin and had an allergic reaction too! Hives all over my body. Benedryl? I can take, but it isn't advised with Breastfeeding so I have been trying to struggle through the itching spells. No hot baths (moms favorite!). There were many moments I wondered if I would ever feel normal again. This is the worst I have ever been in my life. For almost a month, I was completely out of commision due to physical struggles that kept happening!
Thank the Lord he blessed me with a beautiful healthy baby boy, I look at him and he reminds me that it is worth it, but this Mom will NEVER do it agian. I am done!

Wow Lisa! You really had a rough go! I'm glad you're feeling good enough to update your blog. I hope Luke is doing well. Hopefully I'll see you soon.
Hey Lisa, as much as we would love to have more of your & Steves beautiful babies, we can both fully understand why you say "no more!". Both Karlie & Luke are beautiful and we are so blessed that they are a part of our lives. We can't wait to see how they grow into adults. We pray for them & you & Steve daily - We love all of you.
Mom & Dad J
