Lincoln's here... surprise!

Our little guy came to our family on Friday March 12th at 3:11 pm. Lincoln Henry weighed 8 lb 3 oz, and was 21 in long. Surprised? We were too! We actually had plans to go to Bear Lake over the weekend, one last little family vacation with the 3 of us, but we ended up getting our baby instead! Thursday I had been having contractions but nothing major, then during the night they kept coming but they weren't painful. Then at about 5am they started getting pretty regular and some pain. So Aaron kept asking me are we having a baby today or are we going to Bear Lake?? After 2 hours of showering, cleaning, packing a bag for Tatton and packing our hospital bag we dropped Tatton off with Aaron's sister and we went to the hospital. They monitored me for hours and I thought for sure they were going to send me home since they weren't painful and I wasn't progressing. But the contractions just kept coming and my Dr didn't want me to progress too much anyway with having a c-section. So by 2 in the afternoon it was official that we'd be having our baby soon, we were in line for surgery. It was kind of crazy, we really didn't think we'd end up having our little guy on Friday, but we did! Lincoln is just the spitting image of Tatton. He is just a happy little sleeper and eater and we love having him here. Tatton has been such a good big brother and loves giving Lincoln kisses. We're finally home and it's so nice just to relax and cuddle with Lincoln. I've completely forgot how litttle they are and how much they just sleep. I love to just hold him and watch his face, he's just adorable. My mom has Tatton at her house for a few days so that I can recover and I have to say I feel a little guilty but it's so nice. Here are some pictures from the last few days.
