Lincolns 2 month well check appt.

We went yesterday for Lincolns 2 month check up. He weighed in at 12 pounds 3 ounces and he was 24 inches tall. He has some fluid in his manly parts causing them to swell but the doc says that his body should absorb the fluid on its own and if not he will need surgery to close the leak. Other than that she said he was doing wonderful. He has to go back on the 15th to get the rest of his shots and thats that. We are going to stay with my sister this weekend and go apple picking with the whole gang so he will enjoy playing with his little cousin eve and Maren. We set up his jumperoo last night and even on the lowest setting his feet still didnt reach so we had to put a board game underneath so he could push off and he seems to like it. We got to stuff blankets in the seat cause he is too small to fill up the seat and he goes to one side but he will grow into it. Last night was his first night sleeping in his play yard and NOT in our bed....he did alright. He woke up at 3:30 and didnt want to go back in there so he went in the bed then but baby steps....hopefully he will start sleeping through the night soon and it will be easier. He laid on the bed last night watching me and makin baby noises so I would copy him and he would smile and copy me and i was stickin out my tongue and he realized he has one too so he started to do it and smile so it was funny to see him copy me. He is growing up so fast and he is such a little chunk. He is the best thing though and being his mom is great. I can't wait to have more....although Bryan thinks im nuts to want another one so soon but its really the best thing I have ever done. Being a mom is the best feeling and I couldn't ask for a better little man!

Lincoln had his first shots today. I took my neighbor Barbie with me for support cause I knew I'd probably die from seeing him get hurt! We got to the doc's and the fridge they keep the shots in broke so they were only able to get 3 of the shots he needed today and so he will have to go back when they get a new fridge to finish up which sucks and is good at the same time. It sucks that he cant just get it over with till his next set at 6 months or whenever it is but at the same time it gives him a break and maybe he wont be so sore. He was sleeping when they did it but he let out a cry then stopped but when she poked him again he had had enough and didnt stop crying but he slept in the car and when we got to the house I fed him and gave him some more tylenol and asleep he went and now he seems ok....poor thing! I hated it! We went on Saturday to visit my sister and her new baby Eve. It was fun to chat with my sister and hold my new niece and they all enjoyed holding Lincolns heavy little butt! We are going to go back out in two weeks for the whole weekend and take all the rugrats apple picking so that will be fun. This weekend is Barn Fest here in Remsen so we will be busy doing the craft scene....I told Bryan we are buying something this year there so we will see what we get.

2 months old

Lincoln turned two months old yesterday. I cant believe it. Time goes by sooo fast once you have a baby. He goes for his shots Monday and I'm NOT looking forward to it at all. I am going to recruit my neighbor to go with me cause I am sure I will cry. I guess I better get him some baby tylenol before then. He is getting big, he will stare at you now when you talk to him and he will smile up a storm and he is getting his different crys for different things its funny. I left him with Bryans mom while I ran down the street to do laundry and he was fine then i walked in and he heard my voice and he started fussing and it was weird. Its like he knew i was back so he could fuss and I would come running. He is healthy and growing and he is the best little boy. He is starting to cluster feed at night the last few days and thats NOT fun but what are ya gonna do.

life

well fall is definetly almost here...it isnt gonna get above 78 at all this week and last night it was 45 outside brrrr. I like the fall because it means Halloween and Barn Fest and all that but I am not looking forward to snow at all but I won't really have to go out much in the snow because I am staying home with Lincoln. He is getting big. We weighed him yesterday and he was at 11 1/2 pounds. He is such a little man and we are really lucky. Bryan was saying last night "people said raising a baby is hard but it's not hard" I said "we are just lucky and there are people who have colicky babies and one's that don't sleep for 5 hrs at a time at night". Im sure my time will come lol. My sister is getting induced tomorrow to have her baby. I am soooooo excited for her because It has been really rough on her this pregnancy and she has been really sick so im happy she will finally get it over with and I will have a new niece or nephew. I am an aunt to 3 kids thats nuts...One of my nieces I haven't even met before but they live in North Carolina. I love being a mom, I could just stare at Lincoln all day! He seems to be growing sooooo fast! He is wearing size 2 diapers now and he fits in 3 month clothes its nuts. Baby clothes drive me nuts though because some of the 0-3 month clothes are HUGE on him but some 3-6 months he fits....they are all off and it just bugs me lol. He is a very good baby though, he only crys when he is dirty hungry or over tired so he is easy to read. I am trying to figure out what to dress him as on halloween....im searching online for something cute but also not expensive as he is growing like a weed on miracle grow!
