one month already!

Time flies when...
  • You're waking  up every 2-3 hours at night to feed a baby or to check and make sure he's still breathing.
  • You have changed 260+ diapers (most of them very poopy).
  • You have done 18 loads of laundry. (how does one tiny person add that much laundry?)
  • You have fed your baby approximately 250 times but probably more.
  • You spend most of your day staring at your little miracle.

What we know about Lincoln at one month:
  • Doesn't love the pacifier but I keep trying.
  • Very gassy.
  • Has stork bites on his neck, eye lids, and forehead.
  • Prefers to sleep sitting up in the swing but would really rather be held.
  • Lost his hair on top of his head between 3-4 weeks.
  • Cries off and on at night usually around 9pm for about an hour (started at 3 weeks).
  • Likes to be awake at midnight and won't go to sleep until 1am or later sometimes.
  • Smiles a lot in his sleep.
  • Mostly called Links.

He is so cute, Janessa! Oh, the joys of having a newborn!! How's the nursing thing going? Wish we were closer and I could come get my baby feel. I want another one of those little guys!

It's been a month already. I'm glad you keep us posted since we never quite make it to Ogden.

It really does fly by, I can't believe Ella is already 9 months old. To tell you the truth I was so sleep deprived and busy doing everything you mentioned the first 6 weeks is really just a blur. Sad but true. Hang in there.
