First Week At Home

We were so excited for the boys to meet Landon. They were pretty nervous around him at first, but are definitely warming up to him.




Reese just seems to want to be close to him, it's so cute!



Sweet little cry face



Such a rough life a newborn has! (-:



Aunt Manda took some adorable photos of him while Mommy was napping

Our little "glow worm" as we called him. When we brought him home from the hospital his bilirubin levels were boarderline on the high side, so the Dr had us come to the office the next day for a weight check and for more bloodwork. Turns out the levels were increasing instead of decreasing and he had lost a whole pound since he was born, so he was down to 6 pounds 4 ounces. )-: So, he had to be put on a 'bili blanket' at home (which is better than being admitted to the hospital for sure!) 24/7. We continued to have his blood drawn every day and his weight checked often. His levels have slowly come down over the last few days-we finally got word this morning that they are low enough to come off the blanket!! AND, he's above his birth weight - he weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz this am!! We are so thrilled!! So, here are a few pics of our little glow worm... Haha



This is the machine he had to be hooked up to all the time-not a huge unit, but a BIG pain, let me tell you! (;



Daddy feeding his first bottle! He did GREAT!



Landon's ONE WEEK birthday! We made cupcakes to celebrate.




Four generations of Larson's! Grandpa Larson, Great Gramma Tammy, Daddy and Zach. They came to see the little guy-we had a great dinner together and enjoyed the evening with Landon and family.

My mom also came to visit for a few days-she was an amazing blessing to have around-this was during the time we had to wake him up to feed him every 2 hours. So, she graciously offered to wake up with him and feed him during the night for TWO whole nights so Z and I could get some sleep---thanks mom! Couldn't have made it through this without your help!!!!


Great Gramma and Grampa Moench came to see Landon also!

Landon Reed Larson

I have been terrible about updating the blog since I was on bed rest earlier in the pregnancy, so...first I must apologize for that! We are so excited to announce that Landon Reed Larson was born on April 21, 2010! He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. I had a very enjoyable (for the most part) and easy labor. He was so good to his mama. The delivery was so much more amazing than I could have ever imagined! Enjoy the pics! I will try to be better about updating with new pictures of him now that he has arrived!




Sweet little face



Family of THREE! (-: (well, 5 with the big brothers at home, Wally and Reese)



First little outfit-so big for him and it is a newborn size!



Lando-man! Love all of his hair! (I think he has more than his daddy does!)



Proud papa!



Finally get to go home!



Walking to the car



He looks SO tiny in his big car seat! With his friend Owly.
