We got to bring Lincoln home today! Yeah! The original plan was to bring him home on Thursday, but the Little guy had to stay an extra day due to Jaundice. So after Mike and I signed a ton of papers we headed up to the hospital to hang out with our new little son while he laid out under the lights. It was so cute, he looked like he was in a tanning bed, he had little sunglasses and everything. (I will post pictures of that later, they are on a disposable camera. I forgot the camera the day we signed our papers. I don't how I did that, I didn't have anything on my mind! LOL)
Kenedy is having so much fun with her new little brother. A few days ago she told us that she didn't want a brother, just a puppy. Today she says she loves her little brother. If anyone asks her if they can have him, she says, "No, he's mine!" I really hope she continues to feel this way. I know it will be an adjustment for her, but for now she seems to enjoy it.
We gave Lincoln his first bath (at home) today. He hated it! Kenedy got so upset because he was so upset. She kept saying, "No Mama!" I think she thought I was hurting him because he was crying so hard! It will be nice when he can take a real bath. Babies hate the sponge baths! Do you blame them? I would hate being wiped down with a washcloth, it is freezing!
Lincoln is such a good little baby, I hope things stay that way! He eats very well and sleeps really well! He only cries when he is hungry or being changed. He is a snugly little boy! He loves to lay his head on my shoulder and just cuddle up! I think I even love it more than he does! I love babies! I love the way they smell, cry, sleep, hold their little mouths, and look around at everything! I just love every second with babies! I love little Lincoln so much! He is such a miracle and I am eternally grateful to Brittany!
Here are a bunch of pics, from the last couple days, minus the ones on the disposable camera!

I am so excited for you! I am glad that you shared your story with us, how amazing for your birthmom to have that courage.

Congratulations!
All of your pictures are so sweet. Boys are so much fun.
We are so happy for your family! My Mom told me the story as it was unfolding and what a miracle. I love the name Lincoln, we almost named the 4 year old we are adopting Lincoln but changed it to Jonah at the last minute. This baby has won the lottery, you are an amazing mother and what an incredible extended family as well. Best of luck to you, Mike and Kennedy as you adjust to your new life together.

Heidi!!! I love the yawn picture. Baby yawns are my favorite. That's probably why I always frame them. Congrats again!! I'm so happy for you!
heidi...I am still waiting to come see him! I am hoping to come over today...and like I warned you...I am going to just pull off those socks first and kiss those little baby feet! I love baby feet!
You don't even know who I am but I actually graduated from Layton High the same year as Mike. I just wanted to say congratulations on your adoption. We have a two year old son that we adopted and are in the process of maybe adopting another son, so we know what a wonderful experience you just went through. It is the most amazing experience in the world. Good luck with your new little guy!
