Meeting our Baby with Down Syndrome

Luke wasn't officially due to arrive until January 9th, 2013, but my c-section was scheduled for a week earlier on January 2nd, 2013.  Apparently, he didn't like either of those dates, so he chose his own and made an early appearance the morning of December 22nd, 2012 at 11:44 AM.  He weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces, was 18 3/4 inches long and had a head circumference of 12 inches.
