Our son, Lincoln.
What can I say about parenthood that hasn’t already been said? Except that it’s all true. Every squeak, smile, sigh (and yes, scream!) makes me infinitely happier than I was the moment before. Even though it’s only been 2 days since he was born, I can’t picture our lives before he came and made our little family complete.
Loves: snuggling with Mom and being swaddled by Dad. Hates: being cold and getting burped. : )
We are heading home early this week and will continue to take ALL the help from the amazing nursing staff here at the hospital until then. Ben and I both looked at each other today and said, uhhh, what happens when we have to go home and do this all by ourselves??
We’ll figure it out, of course, but for now we’re off to go practice, practice, practice. Thank you SO much for all your well wishes. The three of us love feeling the love. Can’t believe he is ours to keep! : )

Absolutely precious! He’s such a beautiful boy and Lincoln is one of my very favorite names. I loved hearing your thoughts on these first few days. Motherhood is a blessing, isn’t it? And I totally felt the same way you are feeling about the nurses/doctors/etc. When we all walked in our home for the first time I remember thinking, “I can’t believe they let us take him home.” And I’d be lying if I’d say there weren’t a few times in the coming weeks (and months) that I didn’t wish that I could just go back to the hospital and let them help me figure things out or just take care of both of us. But you are absolutely right…you do adjust and figure things out…it’s really quite a miracle. (At least it felt that way many times for me. :) )
