Back at Home

Now that we are back at home, we are getting into a new routine.  

Daddy gave Sterling his first bath at home

 and the boys were right there to assist. 

 Sterling has the longest fingers and biggest feet. 

 Big Brother and Baby Brother

 Lunde Boys

 Beckett keeps saying that Sterling's eyes are going to be brown like his.  The doctor said she thought they looked a little blue like Momma's. 

 Sterling is an amazing sleeper.  He does have a bit of jaundice, so Mommy is making sure to nurse him a lot.  But this means that she has to wake him to feed him. 

 Our family has been blessed with meals ever since we got home.  Tonight the Olson Family brought us a delicious dinner.  The kids had a chance to meet Little Sterling. 

The Big Boys

Yesterday Daddy took the big boys out for the afternoon.  

 They went to the park to play. 

 So Fun

 Then they took a little break for a snack

 and ended the outing with a hike. 

 These two seem so much older now that we have a baby in the house.  Love them so much!

Do They Look Alike???

The question we have gotten lately is which of the two boys does Sterling look like.  We will let you be the judge of that...

Welcome to the World, Sterling Lou Lunde!

On Mommy's due date (March 4th), the doctor thought it was time for Baby Sterling to make his debut. 

 So we all loaded up and headed to GG's house.  The boys stayed there with GG and Grandma, while Daddy and Mommy headed to the hospital. 

 

They started the induction on the 4th at 5:30pm 

 and on the 5th at 10:56 am, Sterling Lou Lunde arrived. 

 He weighed 9 lbs, 3 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. 

Sterling Lou Lunde

The name Lou comes from Great Grandpa Frank. 

Proud Daddy

 After the delivery, all the family came to meet the little guy. 

 Pierce was not too sure at first. 

 Sterling and Auntie

 Daddy and His Boys

 Nana made it down for the delivery.  She has been at each of the boys' births. 

 Sterling and the Grandmas (Nana, GG, and Grandma)

 Sweet Beckett checked on Momma several times to make sure she was ok.

 At the hospital, Daddy gave Sterling his first bath. 

 Sterling did not love the bath, but loved the snuggles afterwards. 

 The little guy had super long finger nails when he was born.  The first couple of days he scratched his little face pretty good.  :(

 Daddy and Sterling at 1am in the hospital.  

Daddy was a trooper and got up with Mommy during the nightly feedings the first night. 

 Grandma is in love!

 The boys came back to the hospital the following day in their "Big Brother" shirts.

 The Lunde Boys all have birthdays on the 5th.

Pierce's birthday is January 5th, Beckett's is February 5th and Sterling's is March 5th. 

 

Beckett was inquisitive about all the tests they did on Sterling before they released us.  Maybe we have a future doctor???

 Sterling was a trooper.  He slept the 2 hour car ride home. 

God is so good!  We are so excited for this new season in our life.  Let the sleepless nights begin...

Father/Son Night at AWANA

Last night was Father/Son Night at AWANA.  Daddy and Beckett had lots of fun together.  The boys ate spears and smooth stones for snacks.

 Beckett even got to compare his height with Goliath. 

Blankies

Today we received a VERY, VERY special baby gift for Sterling.  Auntie brought over his baby blanket.  For each of the boys, she has made them beautiful blankets.  Here are the boys standing with each of their blankies...(minus Sterling)

There is so much hard work in each ones of these.  Something our boys will forever treasure!  Thanks, Auntie!

Still Waiting...

Today was a lazy Saturday.  We had treats with our friends, The Olson Family.

 Pierce and Daddy went for a stroll through town and

 

Beckett enjoyed the sun on the deck. 

 We are patiently waiting for Baby Sterling's debut.
