4 weeks {Lincoln}

We have been enjoying Lincoln so much. So weird to think that he's been here for a month now!

Once we got out of the hospital, we've been going nonstop. We couldn't wait for him to be here so life could get back to normal. Here's us at the zoo when he was 6 days old.

Many people have asked how we've adjusted to 4 and all I can say is "Great!" Having another to throw in to the mix is so much easier than being pregnant. The first two weeks he gave me long stretches at night (even 8 hours once!), but then he got mixed up and now he does his long stretch during the day and eats every 3 hours at night. You will not hear me complain though because I have been thoroughly enjoying every second of him, even during his fussy moments. After a long, hard pregnancy I am so grateful that he's here. Anything was going to be easier than being pregnant.

The kids have been enjoying him as well. But I can honestly say that Evangeline is smitten. Every time she sees him she lights up and runs up to see him while saying "Aww, Lincoln!" She will ask to hold him then when he's had enough she will say "I think he wants you now." :)

He still sleeps quite a bit so I've been super productive around the house. Have I mentioned that it's so much easier not being pregnant? :)

It's amazing what kind of noise he sleeps through: vacuum, kids screaming, running around, plates dropped on the tile (thank you Selah), music, crying, etc.

Look at those precious lips. I melt.

And then there's the smile. The sleepy-newborn-I-can't-help-myself-smile.

We've also seen a few smiles while he is awake. Hello world!

His little buddy was born a week and a half after him. He seemed so big already compared to the new little guy.

He is growing really well though. Already 9 lbs 4 oz (25%) and 22 1/2 inches long (75%).  His hair is starting to thin some on top and I've seen some lighter color hairs in there so it will be interesting to see if it will come back in blonde or stay dark. But his eyes are definitely blue, they haven't changed one bit.

Here's his first Easter with us. We are just so delighted with him. I'm enjoying absolutely everything about him because I know it won't last long. He has already changed so much these past 4 weeks and I know it will just continue.
