Baby Days

So our days are mostly consumed with our little newborn punkin... Emma cannot get enough of him and you can generally find her squeezing him, kissing him, begging to hold him. Reese had been ignoring him, but we had a breakthrough today when he asked to hold him! By the look on Lincoln's face, you can tell he was surprised too. :)
Here is another thing Emma dreamed up to do to her little brother- I cracked up when I turned around to find she had put her shoes on him. Poor kid doesn't know what's coming.
And my sister (Aunt Kara) lovin' on Lincoln... he's pretty snuggly.

Happy Birthday, Lincoln!

After a very uneventful and quick labor and delivery (thank the Lord!)...

Lincoln Samuel Nottingham

9 pounds

22.75 inches

some dark hair... seems to look quite a bit like his older brother... very much loved by his older sister...  a sweet, precious baby boy!  :)

The Creation Museum

Josh sold a car to a staff member at the new Creation Museum in Kentucky and was then asked to come give a talk to all their staff members at their chapel.  They graciously gave us and some friends all free tickets to come see the museum.  We had totally been wanting to go check the place out, so we brought all five monkeys and they had a great time seeing all the displays about how God created the world.  It was a really cool experience and we only lost 2 children for a very short time.  ;)  Reese especially loved the "didas" (dinosaurs).  They are his ultimate fave right now.  I'd recommend going to see it...  

The Big Move to Fishers

We are in our new house and slowly getting settled in!   

A few pics... would you believe this house was one GIANT mass of white walls? 

Until our amazing friends did their magic! 

  We had such amazing helpers come over and paint endlessly for no reward other than some pizza and chinese takeout.  What wonderful friends we have!!!  

Kelly making the FIRST of many brushstrokes!

Sara, the trooper, ready to unscrew light covers  :)

Shanda, you are the bomb.

Me and my belly in all our glory.  

Being 8 months pregnant doesn't stop me from getting in on the fun!  :)

Baby Update

So I went to the doc and am already dilated 2.5 centimeters... so she went ahead and scheduled me for induction on April 21st (unless he decides to come earlier)!  I'd be worried he was coming any day, but I did this with Reese- I was dilated to 5.5 on the day I was induced and wasn't in labor.  Weird.  Anyway, we'll be welcoming baby Lincoln in 18 or less days!
