Josh's First Pics

Here are the first pics of little Josh!! He was born this morning at 6:02 am, weighed 6 lbs 2 oz, and was 19.5 inches long. He surprised us by coming a few weeks early! His 'Nana' McCormick was able to be in the room when he was born but Grandma Hinckley, despite changing her plane ticket and trying everything she could, didn't quite make it for the birth. However, she was able to hear the whole birth over cell phone on her layover in Cincinatti. He just really wanted out and came very fast. Lindsay's water broke at 10:15 pm, she got the epidural at 2:00 am, and he was born four hours later. Lindsay went from being dilated at a 3 at 2:00 am to a 9.5 at 4:00 am (and slept through the whole process)! After about 30 minutes of pushing he was born. We are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for a complication free labor and delivery! We are also so grateful to all of our friends and family and the outpouring of love we've felt today. Lindsay and Josh are both doing great!! Don't worry, we have many more pictures to come!!
