Lincoln is doing great! He's nursing like a champ and growing like a weed! The first two weeks he seemed to have his nights and days mixed up but the last two nights he has spent most of the night sleeping. I'm trying baby wearing more this time so Link gets to be close and I still get to get some things done (like this post!) He loves it as he's not a fan of me putting him down anywhere right now. I love it too!
I am recovering well. The first week was rough but I have felt better each day since then. Unfortunately I had a mystery bump on my stomach that turned out to be muscle distension. Basically, the muscles in my abdomen split and unfortunately one side is slightly herniated. So I get to look about 4 months pregnant until I can work the muscle out "a lot, a lot, a lot" (per the OB) or I end up having to have surgery. Not thrilled but it gives me more motivation to work out. Now I just need to find the time and energy! For now, while I'm supposed to take it easy, I'll just focus on spending time with my boys.
Carter is adjusting well to life with a sibling. He is still sleeping through the night (which is a blessing) and being as sweet as ever. He doesn't seem to notice that I haven't lifted him since Lincoln was born but I think it helped that I couldn't lift him much before either. He also seems okay with the fact that I have to feed and hold Link a lot. I'm sure it helps that Dan's been home so he's had a lot of attention from daddy. I'm actually in the process of writing another post about Carter and Link so I'll leave the rest of Carter's update for that.
Dan is still off work for another week (another blessing!), though I think he might be secretly looking forward to going back to work. Because of the c-section he is still having to do pretty much everything around the house and he does it without a single complaint! He's the best husband and father we could ask for!
That's it for now. Someone woke up and is hungry!
