Lincoln Thomas King has finally arrived...

Well, Lincoln has arrived, and we're back home. Everyone is doing great, and we're really enjoying life as a new family.

Here are the stats...

Name: Lincoln Thomas

Born: 8:34 AM, Friday, June 30th

Weight: 7 lbs. 6.5 oz.

Height: 19.5 inches

Linda was in labor for around 13 hours (~18 if you count the very early stages), and she did a great job all the way through. The entire birth went almost exactly as we expected. (Many thanks here to Summer and Casey, our Bradley instructors, for getting us so prepared.) I'll let Linda post all of the details...she has all ready started writing the full birth story.

Thanks for all the calls and best wishes. We're still trying to get in touch with everyone, but we've been a little busy.

Here are a couple of pictures...there will be many more to come.

This is Linda enjoying some well-deserved orange juice about 30 minutes after Lincoln was born.















This is Lincoln about an hour into his new life on the outside.
