Week 1 With Lincoln

A few things I want to remember about this first week at home with Lincoln:

• His cries are almost exclusively reserved for diaper and outfit changes (the latter usually resulting because of some mishap with the former). 
• He prefers dance parties with Dad to dance parties with Mom (and I love getting to refer to Ben as ‘Dad’). 
• He loves bath time with Grandma when it involves plenty of back rubs and foot massages (a boy after my own heart). 
• His wide eyes melt me. He’s getting more alert by the day but even from the beginning he had such bright, wide, baby eyes. 
• Linc and I have read a lot of poetry during the many hours of feeding – right now we’re working our way through Shakespeare’s sonnets. 
• We’ve adjusted pretty quickly to this new sleep schedule … and while the hours are all interrupted and often not the best quality, I get more sleep than I expected. 
• I’m worried my singing is going to ruin his musical ability (his dad has perfect pitch…his mom, not so much), but not enough to stop singing to him.  
• If it’s been more than a few hours, I miss him (and I feel a bit silly about it).
