What an experience they have been! I feel like I am getting used to a schedule/in sync with Landon. He is a very good and easy baby! The first two weeks he slept, A LOT! Now it seems like he is on his own eating schedule which is about every three hours. At his last doctors appointment his pediatrician said he could sleep 4-4.5 hours so at night I fall asleep hoping that's the case, unfortunately his hungry alarm goes off before my feeding alarm. I am getting used to the extreme exhaustion. Although beyond tired I love being a mommy. I love knowing that I would do ANYTHING for that little boy, ANYTHING! There have been so many precious moments - when he smiles, when he stares at me, when something in the room catches his attention. It's all so magical to watch him experience life!
Landon is gaining weight and eating like a champ! He holds his head up for a minute or so at a time - he continues to impress me with his strength. He has a play mat that I put him under (pic below) that keeps him entertained for about 15 minutes. Sometimes Gabbie goes and lays with him! Other than that he spends majority of his time in my arms or in his bassinet. So far my favorite things have been the steam sterilizer bags, "The Lawn" drying rack (plus it makes a pile of bottles, breast pump accessories, ect. look cute!) and both of our favorites is definitely the wipes warmer!
Below there is a side-by-side pic of Landon at 36.5 weeks gestation and at two days old. It's amazing how well technology captured what he looked like!
His most recent stats at two weeks old were 7lbs 4ozs (he was down to 5lbs 13ozs at one point) and 20.75 inches
