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! : )

Congratulations on baby Lincoln! He is just PRECIOUS! Enjoy this newborn time; I have a 5 month old boy at home, and it feels like I was just in your shoes (well, hospital gown) yesterday:)

Yay! He is so adorable, and I love the name Lincoln. Y’all look like you’ve got the hang of the parent thing already. I really love your blog and cook most of our dinners from your site, so thank you for awesome recipes! Enjoy this special time with your son and husband. Take as much help as people will offer and take some time for yourself to relax and sleep. Life with a newborn is tough, but worth it!

Ahhh he is precious, congratulations! Those pictures are so great- Charlie’s Angels?
Order as much food from room service as you can, and let those nurses handle the diaper changes. Sleep as much as you can in the hospital because you’ll be up breastfeeding so much at home. Best wishes and congratulations!
