Our Little Blessing

Landon Ryder Bell finally made his debut on 18 Feb 2010 at 0724. He weighed 7.99 lbs and was 21'' long. We were released on Saturday, 20 Feb 2010. My family came down on the 13th & waited for the little guy to show up. It was great that they could be there for the birth & hang out. Unfortunately they had to leave the morning we got out of the hospital. I can't believe he's already one week old! Time is already flying by so fast. Last night was his first time to sleep most of the night. I was glad to only have to feed him one time. haha. Waking up every couple of hours to feed is hard work! Takes about an hour to get him fed, changed & back to sleep. Thankfully I've found a little trick... let him eat until he zonks out on his own. Makes things much simpler. Grandma Jackie came down last Saturday to help out. She's been so awesome! It's been nice to get some help from someone much more experienced than us. Not to mention, she gives us a break. Tonight she watched Ryder while we caught a movie. Valentine's Day was great! I loved every minute of it. Jackie flies out tomorrow and then it's just Landon and I... until Monday. Then it's just me. yikes! Well, the little guy is hungry again... big surprise there! More info & pics to come soon (:
