Landon's Birthday!!!

On June 21st, 2012 we welcomed the newest addition to our family, Landon John. We were blessed with a 9lb 4oz, 20 3/4 inch long baby boy. And every inch of him was perfect! His original due date was June 30th, but the doctor was a little concerned with his size due to the size of my belly, so she decided to move the date up, and am I glad she did! I can't imagine having gone another 9 days! During the last two weeks things had gotten pretty miserable so I was ready! Having a scheduled C-section is the way to go! I woke up, took a shower, put makeup on, fixed my hair, took Madison to Lisa's.... pretty much a normal day. We got to the hospital around 9:30, they got me checked in and hooked up. Then the dreaded (yet expected) news. The doctor was running behind.... so we waited what felt like an eternity. When it was time to go back, I determined I was not a fan of entering the operating room alone. It wasn't long until Waylon got to join me. This time we were prepared with a camera, yet there wasn't a single picture taken! When the doctor pulled Landon's head out he immediately started crying, screaming really and then continued to scream while they cleaned him up in the next room. It was the most beautiful sound in the world and brought tears to both Waylon and I's eyes. Everyone in the operating room made comments on just how big this baby was! Waylon went with Landon to the nursery and I got to see them both about an hour later! Much better then the 3 hours I had to wait to see Madison. He was perfect in every way!
 
Look at that belly!
 
 
I was shocked at how much Landon resembles his sister. They are pretty much identical in their hospital pictures!
 



Once we got up to the room we had lots of visitors

 
Then my favorite visitor stopped by..... at this point she was pretty excited about her new baby brother. Approx 10 min later she asked when Kami was going to take her baby home. I explained how Landon was our baby and how he was going home with us, she didn't like that idea so much.
