LP bday continued!!

So I had a c-section and all was well.

Landon Patrick Ayers was born at 6:45 pm. He weighed 9 lbs. 5 oz. And was 21 inches long.
Big, strong boy!!!!

Landon went to the NICU for about six hours and I couldn't wait to see him. People kept telling me how cute he was and how much he looked like Ben... I was getting sad because other people were telling me about my baby and I didn't know. When I finally got to see him, it was love at first sight. We were able to go home on Sunday and my mom stayed the night with us that night. Breastfeeding was so hard at first... But with a lot of support and advice, I stuck it out and Landon and I got the hang of it.

On Tuesday we took him to the doctor and found out that he had jaundice pretty bad and was going to be ordered a belt that he had to wear 24-7. It plugged into the wall and he looked like the cutest little glowworm ever. After about five days, he had healed enough to not have to wear the belt anymore and I was so happy for my little guy. It was hard to comfort a crying baby when you couldn't get up and walk him around-- you were stuck in one place due to the belt being plugged in.

I was in a lot of pain for about a week. Talk about a huge adjustment. I started going to mom classes pretty soon to meet other new moms and have tried to stay busy. I am having the best time with my little guy. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
