1 Week Old!

Here are some cute pics of Lincoln. He looks like he is talking on the phone in a couple of them. Chris was asking him who he was talking to on the phone and just then Chris' phone started ringing...it was funny. (Don't worry, it wasn't Lincoln).

We are so in love!

Here are some pics of us lovin our little man! He is doing very well and just needs to learn how to eat a little better and then they will let him come home! I think he is sick of being at the hospital, he pulled out his feeding tube the other day...that's why he has tape stuck to his face, it was holding in his tube...didn't work to well!

Lincoln Kenneth Laird is here!!!!

So, for those who don't know the story, I will tell you the Reader's Digest version. All day Wednesday I was having contractions but nothing serious til about midnight on Thursday morning...they got bad and I was pretty sure I was in labor. Sure enough, we went to the hospital around 1:30-2am and they said I was dilated to a 5 and that I was having a baby! After telling Chris that I wasn't ready and that I was scared, I asked for an epideral and about an hour and a half later was completely numb and not scared anymore! Close to 8am they said I was ready to start pushing and at 8:15am on July 17th (that's right, exactly 1 month early) little Lincoln was born. They hurried him to the NICU...I had an infection which they said triggered the labor and Lincoln has the infection as well. His lungs were also a little under-developed. He is still in the NICU, but they let us come in and hold him last night which was fantastic! They said today, they are going to take his cannula off and let him breathe on his own. I will also get to try to feed him today! He is doing really well. They originally said he would be there 2-4 weeks but it is looking like he might be home within a week! We are so thankful to have a healthy baby. We couldn't be happier...it is the most amazing feeling in the world! Thanks to all those who prayed for us. All the prayers helped tremendously!

Lincoln is only 2 days old and we already have so many pictures of him. Here are a few...I will try to post more later! He was 5 Lbs 6 Oz and 18 and 1/2 inches long. I think he looks so much like Chris...I love it and him! He likes to hold onto his binkie...so cute!

35 Weeks Pregnant with 35 Days left to go!

Just thought I would put in this little countdown! Lincoln will be here very soon as I only have 35 days left, although, I will gladly take a few days less if he is willing!
