Landry's first week!!!

Well, I promised an update and here it is...also, I have changed my mind about quiting my blog. This is MY outlet and I am going to use it the way I want. My husband has encouraged me to keep doing it if it makes me happy, so that is what I am doing.

Today marks the one week anniversary of Landry's birth...it is also my first full day at home alone with the kids! Ahhhh JR took half a day on Tuesday...but my mom was here until 10:30 and JR got home around 12:30 Then he took another half day yesterday because I still cant drive and we had to take Landry to her first doctor's appointment.

So from the beginning...

Landry was born at 9:39 am on October 15, 2009. She weighed 6 lbs 15.8 oz (so basically 7 lbs) and was 20 1/2 inches long. According to her first assessment, she is in the 50% for weight and the 105% for height...hahaha....apparently she is very long for her weight! All was well in the hospital...she did have to have chest x-rays which concluded that she had fluid in her lungs (probably due to the c-section) but was cleared to leave the hospital on Saturday, Oct. 17. All was well, the first night was a little rough...trying to sit up in a bed to feed her when every move I made felt like my incision site was being ripped apart!...OKay the first night was actually kind of horrible! The next night went better..but in the middle of the night I had another hiccup....I woke up and tried to go to the bathroom and thought I was dying. JR was wonderful...the entire time, we was so good to me! Landry looks nothing like I thought she would...First of all, she is soooo incredibly tiny....I mean Logan was 9 lbs. 6 oz. I was expecting another "big" baby...but she is soooo soooo soooo little! Next, Logan didn't have hair until after he was a year old, but out comes Landry with all kinds of hair...which is funny because she has a receding hair line.LOL it will grow in!Anyway, we had lots of visitors at the hospital and we were released on Saturday around noon. Our first night home was just JR, Landry and me...it was a little rough, but mainly because of my pain level. Hello, my stomach just got sliced open, my breasts are blown up to the point that puts Dolly to shame and I have had a baby with the tiniest mouth ever sucking on them every two hours...Every inch of my body was in pain at that point!!! Logan and my mom came on Sunday. Mom stayed until Tuesday morning and then went back to Galveston to be with my grandmother. Landry had her first appointment yesterday, she weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. She goes back on Oct. 27 and I am hoping that she will be back at birth weight by then. After the appointment we were sent to a diagnosics lab to get her blood drawn and tested because they thought she looked a little yellow...I am still waiting to hear back from them! I think it is probably more her skin tone rather than anything else. Logan is actually doing REALLY well with her...he kisses her constantly and he wants to help out all the time, but he definitely gets jealous and he has certainly been much more whiny and clingy than usual. Anyway...here are some pictures, this is getting too long!!!
