What "They" DON'T Tell You

As soon as you find out you're pregnant, everyone is full of advice and stories.  Everyone wants to tell you what their pregnancy was like, what THEIR labor was like.  No one hesitates to tell you how hard it is to adjust to having a little baby at home, or how the sleepless nights can get to you.  People tell you the good things like how your baby will smile at you and your crappy day suddenly doesn't seem so crappy  Or how boring Friday nights at home aren't so bad anymore.

I listened to everyone's stories and advice (warranted or unwarranted) and I appreciate it all.  I am, however, unhappy that no one ever warned me about (drumroll): poop and puke and a seriously sick baby!  OH MY GOSH. 

I'll spare all the details of his illness, but it was gross!  There were poopy diapers and throwing up everywhere.  I brought Lincoln to the doctor this morning and he just has a stomach bug.  Kirk is probably immune to it with all the viruses he's exposed to, but I'm afraid Lincoln will give it to me!

Thankfully, he's feeling better already.  As you can tell from these photos, he's almost back to his normal little self.
