He's here!

Our baby boy, Lincoln, was born in March of 2010 . He weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. My labor and delivery was quick and easy! My doctor broke my water at about 6:00am, I started pitocin at 8:00 and he was born five hours later! Whooo hoooo! We're bias but we do think he's pretty darn cute! He actually looks a lot like Jezelle did when she was born so it will be interesting to see what he looks like. Jezelle had really dark hair though and this little boy's is kind of strawberry blonde!
It's amazing how quickly these tiny babies grow up. I had forgotten how absolutely precious a brand new baby is. Every little noise they make and funny face just melts my heart. I'm in love.

Yet- I must also add that it's a good thing Mother Nature helps you to forget SOME of the things about having a baby, because I'm not sure women would do it again and again. Whew- I'm already exhausted. But- we feel so blessed and already adore this little miracle. The entire experience is just amazing.



cute little feet!



Trying to burp- he's so floppy!




I guess Jezelle really wanted to see his eyes (in the picture below).

....Uh- let's not poke his eyes out honey.

Actually, Jezelle was very sweet when she came to visit us and meet her new baby brother in the hospital. She kept saying how cute he was and that she wanted to take him home. Since then she's been referring to him as "our baby". She'll be a great older sister!




sooooo strange to be a family of FOUR!



Going home!! YIPEEEE!
