Lincoln Week 23 Update

By -
Get ready for Lincoln's latest update! (And lots of pictures!)


Lincoln has been teething like crazy this week! The toy he's holding actually has a mesh basket that holds ice for teething. He loves chewing on this thing, the whole time I was eating breakfast, he would cry if he accidentally threw it out of reach. Here's a picture showing his lack of teeth (or buds for that matter) I can't get over how cute his toothless grin is!


Lincoln LOVES having his picture taken! All of these pictures (aside from the first one) were taken in a ten minute period. Half the time, he'll look right into the camera and flash his adorable smile! I love it!!!


He has picked up rolling over so quickly! He is honestly acting like an old pro and he hasn't even been doing it very long! It does cause me some anxiety, however, since I used to be able to take a bit of time putting his diaper in the pail and washing my hands after. Now, I have to flip that 1 minute process into overdrive because I've got about 15 seconds before Lincoln destroys my organized changing station. 


So, I know I'm biased, but I'm pretty sure I have the cutest baby on earth! His faces crack me up! 




Lincoln has been dying to crawl over the past few weeks. He's trying so hard to get those little knees underneath himself but it's not quite working yet. Over the past few days, he has been moving, but he's actually going backwards. Linc tries to go forward but he pushes the floor away from himself, making him lose ground. Oh well, at least he's trying! :)


His depth perception has been getting significantly better! He doesn't 'overshoot' as often and I can tell that makes him a lot happier. He used to get frustrated when he couldn't grab things very well.


I love how curious he is. He always wants to touch (and lick) anything and everything he can get his little hands on. I sense the need for baby gates in my near future...



To finish up, Josh and I took a couple videos of Lincoln, so here they are! P.S. Please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube channel if you want to see every video I make! Also, if you watch the first video in full screen, its easier to see him mashing his face up against the mesh!



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 ...
