We are getting the hang of things and Lincoln is figuring things out too. It took us a few days to figure out breast feeding, but he is getting better every day. He's like me in that he forgets to eat (I'm waking him up after a 4 hr stretch at night) so when he does finally eat, he is a bit cranky.
He fits perfect in newborn size clothes which is great except I only have a few things in that size. He's been wearing a lot of his funny onesies from the baby showers this week. Which is great since I seem to change him 3 times a day at least!
He seems to have a fussy time at night before bedtime and seems to eat every 90 minutes after dinner, but it has been giving us a little longer stretches at night. It's not quite a schedule, but we are working it out for now.
We go back on Monday for his two week check up and I'm hoping he has surpassed his 7# 14 oz birth weight!

You forget to eat? I'm so jealous.
Since C was so tiny, I was always worried about her weight gain. I used to weigh myself on our scale with and without her. Not the most accurate, but it'll ease your curiosity/worries.
We have neighbors who have a girl about C's age named after Reagan! Any story behind Lincoln? He's looking good! Russell says he looks like Glenn. Take care, mama!
Arg... the feeding at so often before bed... I hated that because I felt like that is all I did. But don't worry, it is a phase :)
Cute picture of Linc! I'll come visit tomorrow, if you don't mind!
love that little face! the expression is priceless. little david makes a similar one whenever he looks at something new- people or pets.
