It was one year ago today that our life changed forever in a very sudden, unexpected and ultimately wonderful way. Lucas Alexander Hemmer was born at 2:35pm at an extraordinarily tiny 12" and 1lb 5.9 oz. Nothing could have prepared us for everything we would go through between that day and now, but looking back, we have many amazing memories and the hard times, while not forgotten, are far overshadowed by the countless moments that filled our hearts with joy. Words can't really describe how blessed we are and how lucky we feel. We couldn't have done it without the amazing support from family, friends and even many good hearted people we barely knew.
It's hard to believe that a year has already gone by. Luke is doing extremely well and constantly surprises us with new faces, sounds or something he learned to do. He loves to crawl around, exploring every corner and everything he comes across and pulls himself to standing every chance he gets, usually followed by a soft plump onto his backside. It's amazing to watch him grow and it seems he gets bigger every day.
He still has his medicines for reflux, asthma-like symptoms and to continue to heal his lungs, but before long those will be distant memories as well. Everyone that sees him says how amazing he looks and you'd never know he had such a rough start.
To commemorate Luke's first birthday, we put together a little photo and video collage of Luke's first year with us. We hope you enjoy it.
