We have some big news!! Most of you already know and have seen our new bundle of joy but for the few of you that read my blog and haven't gotten to see Lincoln or hear about his arrival this posting is just for you.
He was born on November 11, 2008 at 8:10pm and weighed 7Ilbs 5oz. Everything with the delivery went wonderfully - I was very comfortable with the epideral and had a relaxing afternoon. I was really enjoying the quiet time with Rich in the delivery room. Just before 7:00pm they broke my water and I knew my baby was coming soon. I had wonderful Nurses and the doctor wasn't so bad either - not my doctor because she was celebrating her daughters 2nd birthday but Dr. Brown did okay :)
This picture was taken about half an hour after Lincoln was born by one of our nurses.
Here is all four of my boys - all dressed for church Sunday Morning - My in-Laws were visiting from Calgary to help out so that is why the boys were all dressed and fed and happy by 10:00am.
Here is Andy with his new baby brother - he came with Daddy to the Hospital the next morning and was super excited to hold Lincoln
Lincoln at the hospital his first morning - he slept most of the night - It would have been wonderful if I could have slept too but I was just too darn excited and I really couldn't stop looking at him.
I didn't think I would ever get a picture of him with his eyes open but we were lucky enough to get a few on his second night home.
We feel so very blessed to have our new little man in our lives. I can't wait to see who he becomes and learn about his personality and see how he fits into our family.
I also want everyone who has helped us out since he's been born to know how much I appreciate all that they have done - they know who they are but I am sure they can't possibly know how grateful I am for all of their kindness and service.
