Lincoln 3 Week Update

By -
I love being a mom! I can't think of anything that I've ever done that has brought me more joy than taking care of my son. 



Lincoln has been more awake this week. It's been fun to see him look around the room all curious. Plus, he's following movement with his eyes. I love that he's becoming more aware of his surroundings!



He's been sleeping for longer periods lately which is refreshing! He sleeps really well in his bouncer. I'm still having a hard time getting him to sleep in his crib, but we're working on it. :)


I've been really pleased with how well Chloe has been behaving around Lincoln. I was really worried that she would be jealous of him but she actually really likes him.

Here's a clip of Lincoln when he was really awake! Be prepared for extreme cuteness!


In other news, Josh discovered the game Skyrim. I played Morrowind years ago when I was young and I forgot how much I loved the Elder Scrolls game series! I've been kind of addicted to playing when Lincoln sleeps. Its a nice way to wind down a little. :)

Josh has been working like crazy up at Sundance for the past week and a half. He's had to deal with lots of angry traffic directors and parking lot attendants but he still manages to keep a smile on his face. :)


I love the beard! He's been itching to shave it off lately. Luckily though, its been so cold here that he's decided to wait till March or so.

Thanks for reading!

Week 36 Pregnancy Update

I tried something new with my hair. What do you think? How Far Along? 36 weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds Maternity Clothes? Yep! It's kinda sad though, Josh's shirts can hardly cover my tummy anymore! Stretch Marks? Tons! Although they're already starting to fade quite a bit. Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Going out to Costa Vida for our date night! Miss Anything? Nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Movement: Lots! He really hasn't slowed down since his peak at 28 weeks. My doc said he should slow down soon but I have a feeling he's just going to keep on kickin'. I think this might mean that I'm going to have a wild child on my hands further down the road. Food Cravings: Chili's bacon ranch quesadillas and their cookie brownie with ice cream on top. Yum yum yum! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Fish, eggs, and peppermint Gender: Boy Labor Signs: None yet! I think Lincoln i...

Lincoln 7 Week Update

I just wanted to write a quick update on how my little peanut is doing! Lincoln is getting stronger every day! He held his head up for a whole two minutes a few days ago and his stepping reflex is working like crazy whenever I try to make him bear weight on his legs. I've got a little body builder baby! He's starting to become more aware of what's going on around him. I'll walk around with him and he's always trying to look at everything, especially our bookcases. He just loves it! He's starting to hold onto toys! I put his baby keys in his hand and he held onto them for dear life! He's starting to get interested in different sounds, he's even turning toward them! As you can see, he's smiling now! He'll smile a lot when you talk to him in a baby voice and when you make cooing noises at him. He's making more cooing sounds himself! I think he's realizing that he has a voice.  Lincoln loves his daddy so mu...

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...
