Introducing Lincoln Russell Blauert...
On Wednesday January 5, 2011 I had the honor of being at the birth of Lincoln Russell Blauert. My good friend Lori was 38 weeks pregnant to the day. We were hoping Lincoln would hold off for one more week so his daddy could get home from Iraq, but of course baby had his own plans. 
So although we all missed Russ, I was happy that I was able to be with Lori through her labor and our other friend Ashley was able to join us for the birth. We were able to keep Russ updated through text and IM (this is what I love about technology), so he could feel a part of the experience although he was a world away.
At 3:05 pm Lincoln made his appearance, weighing in at 7 lbs 4.4 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long. Lori did an amazing job and only pushed for about 45 minutes. 
The next day (less than 24 hours after birth) Mommy and Lincoln got to go home! Grandma and Grandpa flew in from the East Coast as soon as they heard baby Lincoln was on his way and were there to bring Lincoln home. 
Lincoln even got to meet his siblings right away. Tanner and Cali were both very curious, but also gentile with Lincoln. I think they will like having another playmate!

Lincoln is just perfect and I am so in love with him. Thank you Lori for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing thing.
