The FIRST month!

Time has gone by so fast. Having a newborn keeps us pretty busy. So here is a recap on everything:
Shaun & I gave birth to Landon Edward on June 23rd at 12:38PM.  He weighed 6lbs, 0oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

We had gone in that morning at 8:00am to be induced. I had a very short labor, i only pushed for 20-30 minutes. While in delivery we had some ups and downs, but everything turned out fine. We stayed at the hospital for 2 days and was released to go home on that Saturday. The first week of being home was stressful and a big change for us, but Landon is such a good baby. My mom stayed with us for the first week and she was a WONDERFUL help! My sister was able to stay a couple days and spend time with Landon before she had to go back to Missouri.
We took Landon out for his first 4th of July: Went over to Uncle Dale & Aunt Nancy's house for a family BBQ. Then we hung out at Kami & Laith Beets backyard with some of our Wamego friends. We took Landon to the Carnival and then finished off the night at the fireworks show with Shaun's family. Landon slept through the fireworks show, never even twitched.
Shaun was able to spend almost 2 weeks at home with us, he went back to work on Wednesday, July 6th. It was hard on him at first but, it is getting easier. Shaun loves coming home on his lunch breaks to spend time with us.
Landon had his first road trip to Newton with me. I was kinda worried about how he would be in the car, but he just slept the whole way down there and the whole way back to Wamego. Once i put him in his car seat, he falls right to sleep.We spent 4 days in Newton visiting my parents, brother, grandparents and friends. Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Winter were able to spend a lot of time with Landon. :) While we were in Newton, we got his 2 week pictures taken.
The last couple of weeks we have pretty much stayed in the house, since it has been terribly hot and humid. We have gone shopping a few times and out to see friends and family, but he already got a heat rash just from going to the car and back to the house. Yikes! So we have tried to make sure not to have him outside, unless we are going somewhere.
This is my 6th week home, and Landon will be 5 weeks old on Thursday. Shaun & I decided that it would be in our best interest as a family for me to put my notice in at my job. I am looking for jobs in Wamego to keep me closer to Landon. We have day care set up for awhile, with one of our friends, once i get another job.

I have really loved and enjoyed every minute i have been able to spend with my son. It is an amazing feeling to be a mother. I love when he looks up at me with his cute little eyes and smiles. I can't remember what it was like before we had Landon. Life is now complete. He is finally starting to sleep in his crib at night. We still get up every 3 hours. But, usually he goes right back to sleep.

I will try to make sure to at least post once a week.
