I promised I'd share more stories. :-)
Yesterday morning around 3:40, I heard Lincoln fussing. Usually I let him go until he calls out for me, but he's been fighting allergies and has been all stuffed up, so I went to check on him. I quickly figured out what was bothering him - Jackson was in his twin bed with him! Of course, they weren't laying end to end like you should - they were flipped sideways. Evidently, Jackson was laying too close to Lincoln or laying on his blanket or something and Lincoln was not liking his space invaded.
Before I scooped Jackson up and took him back to his own bed, I just stood over them. I instantly went back to when they were babies. They always slept in the exact same position - heads tilted at the same angle, all curled up. It's still the same - they were both laying on their right side, legs tucked up, chin tucked under. Then I went back even further - to one of our first ultrasound pictures - because how they were laying, the shape of their bodies reminded me of a shrimp. And that's what they looked like in their first ultrasound!
It was totally precious - but no, I didn't take a picture. It was 3:40 in the morning! So, I simply put Jackson back in his bed, snuggled both of them up in a blanket, and went back to bed, anxious to see if this next baby follows in its brothers tendencies, or if it blazes its own trail. Only time will tell.
