Meet Our Son Luke!
Meet our newest son Luke, and watch us share his incredible birth story!
He’s here! We are overjoyed to introduce you to our son Lucas Shawn! The sweetest little baby boy who is the perfect addition to our family.
We are home now, and all of us are healthy and happy as can be. His big brothers are smitten!
Watch Luke’s Birth Story
Luke couldn’t wait to join our family, and came FAST! There wasn’t even time for an epidural (ouch!), but luckily we made it to the hospital *just* in time thanks to Shawn driving 100mph on the freeway and running all the red lights, haha! Never been more proud and in awe of my body that knew exactly what to do.
Shawn and I recorded his birth story for you! You can watch it in the video above, or here.
The minute Luke was born! So grateful to have him in my arms!
Thank you so much for all the love and well wishes! We’re in newborn heaven and loving life as a family of 5!

What a beautiful (and kinda funny-100 miles an hour and forget the red lights! Lol) story! Family is so important. They are our emotional safety nets-except mine! Different story!! Anyway, thank you for sharing with all your fans! A good cook, mom and I’m sure, wife! Make sure you teach the kids how to cook! Lol

Wow you are amazing!! So proud of you!
I love your video, it felt like we’re best friends and I couldn’t have been happier than if I knew you IRL! 😂💗 Welcome to the world, Luke. 💙
Oh you’re so sweet Laura! I am so glad you liked our birth story video. We had such a good time making it! It means everything to me that you feel like we are best friends! In a way we are! It is so wonderful to share life with others. We really are all so much alike. Life, it’s a beautiful thing!
Sending blessings to you and yours!
I have all the baby feels after watching this!!! What a speedy delivery! So happy everyone is safe, happy and healthy!
I hear you on the baby feels Megan! I am sure having many of them now. I am so glad you liked our story. It was so fun to make! We surely are safe, happy, healthy and very grateful! Thanks for your well wishes!
We are birth story buddies!!
I’m watching your video and can’t believe you’re telling me my birth story verbatim!! The only difference was when the security brought me the wheelchair I couldn’t sit, I had to stand as they ran me into the birth floor.
The morning my water broke and it was right before my husband left to work, the speedy drive to the hospital, no time for epidural! Two pushes and the baby was born! You explained it perfectly, the body has the urge to push and there is nothing you can do to stop it, but it feels good in that moment. You brought it all back to me!
Congratulations! He’s beautiful and have a speedy recovery :) the recovery was also easier without the epidural for me.
Oh my, we are birth story buddies Renea! I can’t believe you couldn’t even sit in a wheelchair. Pushing twice is fast! We are both very blessed for healthy little ones. Good to know you found recovery easier without an epidural. I was SO looking forward to one! LOL! I do feel I am recovering rather quickly so far. Got some good rest in today!
Blessings to you and yours!
He is such a beautiful baby! Good job mama! My third birth experience was similar. Freakishly intense and short. Red light running, screaming, all of it. Worth it ❤️ Proud of you!
So glad to hear someone else’s birth story included lots of red light running and screaming Arielle! LOL! It SURE is worth it! Thanks so much for your well wishes!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I’m so happy for you all ☺️
Thanks so much Kathy! We are so grateful he is here. He’s such a happy, cuddly little fella! I am so glad you enjoyed my birth story.
Thank you for sharing your story! I love birth stories. Way to go, Badass Mama!!! Welcome sweet Luke!!
Thanks so much Lisa Lisa! He is so sweet and precious! We are so grateful he is here with us. How lucky can we get?
Oh my goodness! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! That video was so sweet, I’m in tears. You are amazing!
You’re so sweet Jamie! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. We had so much fun making it. Thanks so much for your kind words. They really mean the world to me.
Congratulations! What an amazing birth story! Mine for my second baby was similar, I was only at the hospital for 11 mins before we had a baby. My midwives eyes got really big when she checked me and said, ‘oh boy we’re having a baby now!’. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family.
Oh my! Our stories are very similar Laura! Eleven minutes isn’t very long. So grateful you made it in time! :) Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
I am soooo happy for you guys! I’m also excited to hear how your recovery is different this time. I’ve heard that waiting until you’re absolutely ready to push helps to alleviate swelling and leads to a shorter recovery! I know you’ll let us know! Congratulations!
Thanks for reaching out, your kind words mean so much to me Marisa. I’m feeling great so far! I got some rest today and feel like a new person. I still can’t believe how fast it was! So grateful we were close to the hospital.
Congratulations!!!!!
It was SO sweet when Shawn said he was proud of you. You rocked that birth!
Thanks so much for your kind words Em! We are so happy and blessed. Shawn is a keeper! He’s my rock. Best to you and yours!
