Busy, busy

Been a little busy taking care of Mr. Man. He slept for 5 hours straight two nights in a row. That gives me hope. He slept in two 3 hr shifts last night...yippee! I can handle that!

Drew got the Swine Flu Sunday so he's been home with us. No fever today so maybe he's over it! Lincoln is 4 weeks old today and a month old on Thursday! Time has flown by. He went to the Dr Friday and weighs 10 lbs 4 oz. We've got another biggin' on our hands! gotta go...2 kids crying!

Lincoln's 1st Playdate

Carrie and Noah

Lincoln & Noah

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. You'd think being home all day, I'd have more spare time. Our new family of 5 is beginning to feel normal. Lincoln is doing great. He already weighs 9lbs 3 oz. Yes...we grow 'em big in this house! He's been nursing exclusively but is beginning to act like he needs a little more. I'll supplement with a little formula here and there as needed. He's getting up 2-3 times a night, eating and going right back to sleep. The boys are still loving on him and wanting to hold him 24/7. He's super sweet and I could stare at those big eyes all day.

Lincoln had his first playdate today with my friend from high school who happens to live in the neighborhood. Her baby, Noah, was born 4 days before Lincoln. They were so cute together. Of course, Lincoln cried half the time and Noah slept the whole time. Typical Dyke baby!!

As a side note, I went to the Dr last week and have lost 25 lbs since having the baby. Sounds good but I still have 20 to go! Oh well, it's a good start! Happy Fall Everyone!

First Bath

Before bath...
during bath...

after bath...squeeky clean

This is my sweetie boy...after his first bath! He fussed a little but that's to be expected.

He is doing great. Eating around the clock and NOT sleeping around the clock!! BUT....that's to be expected too! We are just taking it day by day and trying to enjoy the newborn stage. He goes to doctor tomorrow for check-up and 2nd shot and then we are off to my grandmother's for a little outing!
