Meet Baby Lincoln!!

The wait is over!! Lincoln was born at 6:47 this morning, weighing 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and 20 inches long. He is absolutely gorgeous and actually doesn't look as much like Griff as we thought he would...he looks a lot like big brother Caleb and Daddy! He's so cute.
The labor was amazingly smooth and Shell is my hero!!! She did such a great job and he came out and is the most laid back little guy. He didn't even cry when they pricked him with the needle. However, he was kicking when Dan was playing with his belly....so he already knows that Dad is going to be a pesterer!
We're so proud!!
Here is a pic of Shell and Lincoln right after he was born.Here he is in the incubator. Look at those skinny little legs.
Here are some pics of his first bath. He has the thickest dark curly hair. I love it. And look at that Mr. Magoo face!This is mid-way through the styling of his hair.
Sweet boy.
And here is proud Uncle Josh...who had never held a baby this small before! I think he's a natural! Lincoln likes him!
More pictures (of course!) will come soon!!! Shell is resting tonight since she hadn't slept for like 30 hours or something crazy like that! Anyway, there he is for now!
