~~My New Boyfriend~~

Landon better watch out because there is a new man in my life! My sweet baby boy joined our family on Monday, July 19, 2010. I was scheduled for an induction and was suppose to call the hospital at 6:00 am to see if there were any rooms available. Of course they were crazy busy, so at 3:30 pm they finally called and said they were ready. We checked in and at around 5:00, I finally received the pitossin. Ledgen Jessie Day was born at 7:02pm and has been kicking ever since! Everything went as smooth as possible.

Right after delivery--one happy mama!

Nothing more precious then a Dad and his new baby.

Jada and Brecka were thrilled to meet their new brother. All Jada wants to do is hold him (as many of the pictures show). Notice Brecka's pointing finger. Everytime she walks up to him she has to poke him...usually in the face. Not in a mean way, but I think she is checking to see if he is real. It is so funny. She gives him a kiss, then a poke, and then off to whatever she was doing.

Happy family of 5!

Landon and I had a surprise baby doll tucked away in my bag to give the girls when they came in. They were so excited to have a baby of their own. Now when I am taking care of Ledgen, they each have their own baby to take care of. They were thrilled!

My favorite thing about a newborn is the way the cuddle up on your neck and pull their feet clear up--the little fetal position. So adorable!

I can't believe how much I already am in LOVE with this baby boy. I can't wait to snuggle him, love on him, and just get to be with him the second he wakes up.

So far in the first week of his life he has been one sleepy little baby! I bet he is awake maybe a total of 20 minutes each day besides eating. Finally today, I think he made it about 45 minutes! Way to go little guy! When we left the hospital he had a low level of Jaundice. We had to take him into the hospital to have him tested 3 different times after we brought him home to make sure it wasn't getting too high. I think we are finally safe. I took him to the pediatricians office on day #3 and he rolled over right on the medical table. Then last night he was on the floor and rolled over again. I guess I can't leave him alone on my bed or couch...he's a mover!

We love you little Ledgen!
