First Trip to the ER (at two weeks old)

Lincoln wouldn't keep his food down last week so we were sent to Children's Hospital for tests. I think I was much more traumatized by the entire process than he was! They stuck a tube up his nose that went down into his stomach so they could inject dye to watch how he was processing his food. Again, I was a mess watching him lay on that big x-ray table, so tiny and helpless. Shane found the entire thing to be fascinating of course. I told him he really should have been a radiologist- he can see things on x-ray and ultra sound machines that I just can't! Lincoln hated the tube up his nose and kept sneezing to try and get it out- again SO sad. THANK GOODNESS he just has terrible acid reflux and nothing is wrong with his intestines . . . which we were told 8 hours after checking in. Huge sigh of relief. Now, he just needs to keep his food down so he can gain some weight!

1 1/2 weeks old!

We can't believe Lincoln is already a week and a half old!! He's a good baby so far- very mellow, easy to comfort, eats pretty well and sleeps great!! We'll see how long those things last! :) It seems like he changes every day! And yes- he kind of has strawberry-blonde hair, depending on the light. We have no idea where that came from but we love it- it's as soft as a baby chick! And we love him so much!

lots of hair

My sweet grandma knitted this little cocoon for him. Too cute!

so tiny in a big chair

Pictures of my babies!

Just found these pictures that I took with my phone so they aren't very good quality but I thought they were cute. I can't believe how much Lincoln has already changed in just ONE week of life!

I love Jezelle's prechool teacher who always goes the extra mile to make the kids feel special, especially when there is something exciting to celebrate in their lives, like a new baby! This is Jezelle's 'big sister' crown that she got the week after Lincoln was born. They celebrated her becoming a big sister and made her feel so special.
