After 14 hours in the hospital, Lincoln finally decided to make his arrival! He weighed 9 lbs 2 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. The whole process was much different than I expected. Most of the day was pretty boring, just waiting around.
At about 9 pm that night things still weren't progressing very quickly. The nurse had called my dr to see how she wanted to proceed. The dr had to come up to see another patient and between 9:15 and the time she got there at 10, I had gone from a 4 to a 10. She told the nurse she was going to do a quick c-section on her other patient and she'd be back in 20 min to deliver the baby. I was so glad because I had started to think we wouldn't have the baby until the next morning. The worst part of it was how hungry I was! I guess the contractions were no walk in the park, but what I would have given for some food...
It was nice to have such great care in the hospital and we were a little hesitant about leaving and being up to our own devices. Especially since our discharge was delayed due to complications with his circumcision and we had to have him double checked and receive extra care instructions. After a stressful night we arrived home and seem to be handling things ok. I don't know how long it will take to get used to having a baby around. It still seems very surreal. Charlie isn't quite sure what he thinks of Lincoln yet. We are trying to give him lots of loves so he doesn't feel left out.
Here is the new daddy!

Still trying to figure out what just happened...
Exhausted...I will probably be seeing this face for some time to come
Casey's very first diaper change. His brother was there lending his expertise
Trying to get the little wiggler dressed. It certainly isn't as easy as it looks.

Congrats you guys! He is WAY CUTE I love all his hair! He reminds me of brax when he was born! You guys will be good parents!
Oh my gosh! He is absolutely beautiful. He's got so much hair. Love it. Having a new baby is certainly an adjustment, but soon you'll both wonder what you ever did with out Lincoln. So excited for you guys. Congrats.
And, of course, if you need anything, just holler... or just need a break. I'd be happy so take little dude off your hands for a few hours. :-)
My nephew is so handsome. I love all his hair!!! I am seriously wanting more pictures though. I need tons more of Lincoln, and I need some family pics!! You can even throw Charlie in there if he's feeling left out. :)
He's so cute Sheryl! And you look fabulous, holy cow. I remember feeling SO starved during labor. Glad he's healthy (you too) and doing well :)

He really has to be one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. He's got the perfect nose and the most kissable cheeks ever. I love it when babies have tons of hair. Way to go on pushing out a 9 pounder!

How exciting! Congratulations!!
