On September 30, 2025 at 30 weeks and 5 days, our little miracle, Baby Lincoln, made his entrance into the world. He was born at 5:07am, weighing just 2lbs 2.8oz. Despite his early arrival, he came out strong, even letting out a big scream, and started off breathing on his own with just a little help. He has since needed more support from a breathing tube, which gives his tiny lungs the breaks they need, but overall Lincoln is healthy, fighting hard, and right on track.

Our pregnancy journey was full of challenges. I spent 40 days in the hospital before Lincoln’s birth due to complications with his growth, blood flow, and my own health. Every single day was about fighting to give him more time to grow. Now, although our pregnancy journey has ended, our NICU and parenting journey has just begun.

Lincoln will likely spend several months in the NICU, and while he is showing us every day how strong and determined he is, this journey comes with many challenges for our family. Between the medical bills, the time off work, and the costs of traveling back and forth to the hospital, things are overwhelming.

We are asking for help to support Lincoln during his NICU stay and to ease some of the financial stress so we can focus fully on our baby boy’s care. Any donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his needs and our family’s stability during this time. Even if you cannot give, sharing our story and lifting Lincoln up in your prayers and thoughts means the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of Lincoln’s fight and for walking this journey with us.
