Well, he is here and he is so handsome! He was 7 pounds 3 oz and 20 inches when he was born. At his 2 month check up he was 10 and a half pounds and 23 inches, so he is growing. He is on the small side, but doing great! We actually had a little bit of a scare with him though. Luckily his doctor was very thorough and found that Lincoln had something called a hydrocele(A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sack along the spermatic cord within the scrotum). So we had an ultrasound done to confirm that is what the doctor thought it was. The ultrasound tech wasn't allowed to tell us anything, but she didn't seem like anything was wrong(this was on a thursday) and she said that my doctor would call me with the results. Well, the doctor didn't call until Monday and it was actually a nurse that called and said we had to make an appointment at the hospital to go over our results with a urologist. We weren't told anything else, so that was a worry, but we went and it turns out that he does have a hydrocele but he also only has one working testicle, the other died off either in the womb or shortly after. It is not a huge deal, but it does make the hydrocele a little more dangerous. Normally hydroceles go down within a year or so, and they don't require any further treatment. If they don't go down within a year or so surgery has to be done. Well, with Lincoln they don't want to wait one year, it would more likely be around when he is 6 months of age. And if they did surgery they would also "anchor down" his testicle so it wouldn't have complications like the one that died off. (the cord or whatever got twisted and that is how the testicle "died"). So we are hoping that the hydrocele will just go away on it's own, I really don't want Lincoln to have to have surgery. But, I'm just glad it wasn't something more serious. It wasn't the best news, but it was still good. So we will have a follow up appointment in a couple months or so and then go from there.

Lincoln is so stinkin' cute! He is a very happy baby. He smiles all the time. He loves to lay on his playmat and kick the ball that is attached to it. He is just so sweet! and Lorelai is a great big sister. She still doesn't like to get all that close to him, but she is getting better. She will hold his bottle for a little while, it's cute. I know that she loves him though. She says her prayers and blesses Lincoln, and she talks about him too. She just doesn't like to get too close, lol. She is so funny. She is getting so big! I can't believe that she will be in school next year, that is just crazy. I love my kids, they are just awesome. I could not be happier to be their mom.
