13th day of life!!! 8/24

















Link looks a little dazed and confused in this one, but I love how little he looks next to the teddy bear that Tim and Hayley got for him.




Lincoln was so darn cute today. His nurse got me excited because she was talking about how great he's doing and how he hasn't had any complications, etc. and then encouraged me to make sure I was ready for his homecoming with the carseat, crib, etc. Now, I'm trying NOT to get my hopes up, because I know how long he's supposed to be in there, but this is really soon!!! Brent keeps reminding me that initially they tell everyone not to hope for anything before the original due date (his is Oct. 22nd) because he wants to protect me from an emotional breakdown, but I'm just gonna go ahead and hope anyway!!!!! So, now that we have the crib put together, I went out and bought the crib mattress this evening and am washing all the sheets, blankets, etc. I'm excited to have it all put together. Link tried at nursing again today and did decently. He's starting to do those cute little baby things like holding me with his little hands and looking at me while he tries to feed. Love it. Brent was able to escape from the hospital across the street where he's currently in his medicine rotation a couple times today and visit us! Isn't he cute in his white coat? I've got the cutest boys in the world!

I love reading your posts and hearing about your little boy. Wow I can imagine how overwhelmed you are with emotion and trying to wrap your heart around him coming early and being little, but he looks like he is doing great and in good hands. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you bunches and I'm so proud of you.

Pretty cool they actually let you wear the white coats, they give us ours in the middle of second year and then they go straight to the closet. Only "real doctors" get to wear them in the clinics at Baylor:(

Well, around here the med students wear "short coats" and all the important people wear long coats. You know...like the short bus. :)
