A Good Day

So...I think our hands have probably been cleaner in the last four days than they've been in our entire lives! Each time we go into visit Lincoln we've got to do the "3 minute scrub". We don't want to give him or any of the other babies any cooties from the outside:)

All kidding aside, today was a great day! Lincoln seems to be getting stronger and showing more signs of development every day. The morning started off with us meeting his nurse for the day. It was fun to talk with her because she's actually friends with someone I work with at our church. She told us that she'd been given a heads up about our baby...so when she came into work this morning...she looked for Lincoln and immediately called dibs on him. It's good to know he's under such great care. His nurse even asked me to help her in removing a line which was going into a vein in his bellybutton. The line helped the nurses keep track of his blood pressure...which means that he's stable enough that they don't need to constantly watch it anymore. That's a good thing!

While Lincoln chilled out under his blue LED's, April and I got a little more rest. We also had the chance to go out to lunch...which was sorta fun because the place we ate at was the same place we went to dinner back in March and made the final decision to start trying to have a baby. We decided to treat ourselves to some dessert to celebrate our success.

Like I said before...Lincoln seems do be improving every day. I can't help but think that it's because of the many prayers that have been lifted to God recently. Please continue to pray for him and us as we continue to travel on this adventure...no matter what happens in the days to come. Also, thanks to all of you who've been leaving comments on our blog. It's encoraging to read your words and hear that many of you have made it through similar situations. I think all of this is testament to the fact that God is a great Dad.
