Welcome Baby!

Well it has been over a week now since our little man was born and I am sorry for the delay, but life for a new mom of two I have learned is a little busy. Last Wednesday morning (5:30am to be exact) we arrived at Riverton Hospital to get prepped and ready for my c-section. We were very excited but with lots of anxiety due to our previous c-section delivery with Brielle. Lets just say it was a "worse case scenerio" never to hopefully be repeated again.
 After some waiting we went into the OR around 7:45am and at 8am (on the dot) 

Landon Max Stilson was born. A 15 minute delivery is definitely the pros to a c-section!
 Our little man weighed 8lbs, 11 oz & is 19 1/2 inches long. And now you know why I waddled the way I did and my pelvis hurt like no other! He was quite the big boy!
 Look at my cute family!
My parents brought Brielle a little later and she could hardly contain her excitement! She can't get enough of her little baby brother.

 Can you tell she is in love?
 Aunt Kim came to visit us too!

 Going home day!! Landon and I were both tired of being in the hospital so we headed home a day early. His cute monkey hat was just a bit snug, so it came off shortly after pictures.
 Today we gave Landon his first bath. He felt so comfy that he pooped here...
 And here!
We were quickly initiated and learned our lesson. I have been learning quite a lot and fast about little boys. They are so tricky! He has also learned how to keep me, and me alone up all night. He has started making a grunting noise shorlty after being fed and getting comfy in his cradle and doesn't stop until morning. He does not cry to let me know when he is hungry at night. So I have to guess by his grunting and sometimes it has only been 15 minutes from his last feeding! & since I am exhausted I don't notice if I have been asleep for 15 min or a couple hours. So it is lots of getting up and down all night long!! I finally decided it is time to move him to his own room so I can get some sleep. If he is truely hungry he will cry out and let me know. The first two nights he was home I only had to get up twice to nurse, so I know he can make it longer.
