Today you are nine days old. I can't believe how fast these nine days have gone. You are quite the sleeper. I don't know if I just don't accurately remember or not but I swear you sleep more than my other babies. You are either asleep or eating. There is no in between. Not that I'm complaining by any means. It's just thrown me off a bit. I can't really tell you how you sleep in the nighttime. Despite all my good intentions and goals before you were born we have been bed sharing since the day you came home. It's just too convienent to have you right there when it's time to nurse. So I sleep pretty good at night. And don't really know how many times you actually wake up! ;)
Okay I'm continuing this letter and you are now 12 days old! Today is your due date! It's the first time I haven't been pregnant on my due date and I'm rather fond of it.
You are more awake now than before. You are starting to get chunky and you face is getting some personality! I love when your just awake looking around! :)
You really hate to burp. Anytime you burp or spit up you whine. It's cute and sad at the same time! ;) you so far don't spit up too much. That could change at any second. Especially since I just jinxed myself.
Your siblings love you. Especially Olivia. Much to my dismay I can't get her away from you. she is constantly trying to hug you or lay on you or kiss you! Today I turned around and found her full on holding you all by herself.. Standing up! I nearly had a heart attack! Bently loves you too! He talks about you a lot and has lots of questions about you. Like why you don't have teeth. Or why you throw up!
Your umbilical cord came off on the tenth. I thought it would never come off, so to prove me wrong it fell off in my lap. It was gross, but exciting. We still haven't given you your first bath yet! I can't wait to do that.
You my Lincoln boy are special. You have not followed the norm by any means. You have already proven you're going to do things your own way and I couldn't be more pleased. See you are my first baby where I don't have to go back to work. That's right, you get me 24/7. It's strange though, I still find myself in that going back to work mind set. I cuddle you every second I can and I am truly cherishing every second we get together. I love you so much handsome. I wish to slow down time just a little. I want to cuddle you and smell your newborn smell a little longer. I worry with the holidays coming up that time will go too fast, as it always does this time of year. So I am going to pay extra attention and hold onto time as much as possible.
I love you Lincoln.
Love,
Mom
