Lincoln's First Week

Lincoln spent the first four days of his life in the hospital. Then once we were home we had a lot of visitors coming over to hold and cuddle our little man. It was wonderful. We had time to rest and clean the house and get re-acclimated to being home. At first Linc was sleeping 3-4.5 hour stretches at a time and he was very calm and only fussed (well screamed) when it was diaper changing time. 

 Here he is cuddling with his Great Aunt Alicia.

 He gave us the first look at an adorable little grin :)

He delighted in spending time with both of his Grandmothers. I think they are both beyond hooked...and really, who can blame them?|

He endured his first sponge bath...and was calm through the entire thing until we got to his bottom (which was a little diaper rashed)

And he slept very peacefully. Fred and I spent most of these first days home staring at him, hugging each other and wondering how we created such a beautiful, perfect little being. Fred stared at him in wonder and I cried almost every time I looked at him- not in sadness but with overwhelming love. He is my heart.
