As time goes by...

Gena and I are slowing getting used to this baby stuff. Obviously Gena is still recovering from the C section, but Lincoln is getting along just fine. He is very healthy and, although he has been very tired the last 24 hours, he is very active and attentive. When his eyes are open, he is looking around, studying his environment and the people around him. He moves a lot and even though we have to hold his head up for him, his neck muscles are very developed and allow him to move his head back and forth. He is also developing an excellent sucking instinct.

He loves being swaddled tightly, but for whatever reason he doesn't like his left hand to be pulling in tight.

Our nurses are very nice to us these days and we expect to be out of here Saturday night or Sunday morning as long as all goes well. I think the feeling of being a parent will sink in a lot more when we actually bring him home and acclimate him to our normal lives. This hospital keeps us in a kind of false reality since we aren't doing laundry or making our own food. Things will definitely be different when we get back. It's kind of like a "babycation"!
