where has the time gone???

Well it's official, I am a horrible blogger! It's been 7 weeks and 3 days since Lincoln was born! I am way overdue for an update! So here it goes... It may take me an hour to type this because I have a very clingy baby today and well I only have use of 1 hand!:) Here some proof:

It seems like just yesterday I gave birth to this perfect little boy but at the same time I feel like it's been well over a couple months. Life has changed in ways I never thought it could and also stayed the same in places I never thought. For example: I am about to become a working mom. I am going to be dropping my sweet boy at daycare everyday and going to work in a new position at work that I have worked so hard to get. My life is totally different on top of being a new mom. My life has also stayed the same. For example: I still enjoy playing kickball and started that right back up at 2 weeks after having Lincoln. Now I thought I wouldn't want to play because I would not want people on the sidelines helping out or letting someone hold him while I play and that is just not true. I still enjoy playing and I love how helpful our team mates and friends are in helping keep him company while I am in the field. Lincoln has fit seamlessly into our life. I can't imagine life without him now. He has made our life so much brighter and as crazy as it may sound we are already planning for a 2nd baby. John has been so amazing as a father and as a husband through this whole experience! I always dreamed of having a husband who would do his share and truly want to help with a baby. He has his moments where he tries to get out of changing a poopy diaper but I can't blame him for that! Even I try to get out of those! I have found a way to keep my home somewhat presentable and to keep myself presentable as well! Here are some pics to share of our life with Lincoln!

Here is Lincoln and I at the Oregon Zoo with one of the giraffes! As you can tell I have been making the most of maternity leave :)

Here is John, Lincoln, and our dog Wicket hanging out on the couch together! :)

here is a shot of Lincoln and I getting ready to meet his Godmommy out for lunch! I feel like I look pretty good since this was taken only 6 weeks after having him! The weight loss has happened pretty quickly. I only have about 10 extra lbs to lose now! :) Just a little peek into our life. John and I have never been so happy most of all I feel like this completes our marriage! I can't wait to try for a little brother or sister for Lincoln! (nothing it set in stone but we have discussed trying when Lincoln is a year old) I hope to update again soon and tell a couple funny stories about me being a first time mom and things that are great and things that are not so great soon! Thank you to all of my readers! Have a wonderful week! :)
