Sorry it has been so long. Hurrican Gustav put a delay on posting. It is official. Baby Landon is here. He was born 08/26/2008 at 3:38pm. He weighs 6 lbs 2 oz. 17.5" long. He is a tiny little thing. We haven't decided who he looks like yet. He seems to change every day. Elena seems to be really taking well to him. She wants to help us do everything. As soon as Landon cries, she screams "He needs a bottle. Get a bottle." I guess she thinks that is the only way to fix the crying.
Delivery was fairly easy. Thank GOD for epidurals. I didn't feel a thing. The doctor had to tell me that I was even pushing. I didn't think I was helping in the delivery at all. Poor Landon though has had a quick entry into the world. He was shoved into this world and then two days later he has to pack up and evacuate for the storm. He travelled very well. He slept most of the trip. I think out of everyone, he travelled the best. We kept getting the crazy stares from people. You know the "I can't believe she is out with that new baby" stare. Landon just didn't have a choice. I couldn't possibly risk staying home with him.
Other than our eventful beginning, all has been well. He started out sleeping all day and waking every hour or so at night. I thought I would never get sleep. He is doing much better now though. It has been two nights of him only waking twice a night. I am glad we are finally getting into a routine that works for all of us.
Anyway, we are all doing very well. We are glad to be home and adjusting to being parents of a newborn. I will post again later with any updates and changes.
