Birth Weight Redux

Lincoln went to his first-week appointment yesterday, and just as we suspected he's doing great!! He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz yesterday, which means that he is already back to his birth weight. Babies lose up to 10% of their birth weight and then usually take 1-2 weeks to get back to their original weight, so Lincoln is right on schedule!! This makes me *extremely* happy, since it means that all of those midnight/midday/all day feeding festivals are actually doing some good.

Scott has dubbed our baby swing "baby crack" since whenever Lincoln is fussy (and not hungry) the swing instantly soothes him. Thanks to my sister Mary (auntie Mary) for buying the swing for us! We owe her an extra nap...

Speaking of naps...it's about time for our midmorning rest! More photos to come!
