Ok so I havent been able to keep up daily but I will start catching up on everything maybe once a week. We had a doctors appointment on Monday because Landon has developed a "cough". Yep you got it. Completely fake to get attention. Funny how they learn that stuff this small. He also has eczema and an umbilical hernia. Both not serious.He got his 4 month shots and was very mad at his mommy. He was 25 1/2 inches tall and 13.6 lbs. So needless to say he was tall and skinny. 75th percentile in height, 25th in weight. So we have started on baby food. He has already had squash and carrots and LOVES them but we tried green beans today and he is a little unsure. He ate them but you could tell he does not know what to think about them.

Landon also got to meet his Uncle Ricky, Aunt Carly, and cousins Macy and Alexis this last weekend. He just loves girls and his Aunt Carly. Took a little bit for his Uncle Ricky to hold him but when he did he held him a lot. Also Brian Barnum, his girlfriend Kendra, and his daughter Lola came for a visit. Lola sure is a cute little girl and very big. Landon was worn out after all of his company.

Mothers day is this coming weekend too. This will be my first mothers day to celebrate. Dont think we will do much. But I can clearly remember mothers day last year and I was totally bummed out because I just knew I was having another miscarriage. I had the exact same symptoms and signs as my first miscarriage and so it was not a happy day for me but I tried to put on a happy face to help celebrate with my mother-in-law. I had a ultrasound the day before and they would NOT let me watch or tell me anything. So that was on Saturday and I had to wait until MONDAY to find anything out. Come Monday morning I was at work (just to mention it was a new job and I had worked with these people for a month maybe) and I got a call from the doctor. He just basically said " I am calling to tell you that I have the results of your ultrasound and the heartbeat looks great and healthy!" and I just sat there for a second then said excuse me what?!? And he laughed and said all looks fine. See we didnt have a heartbeat on the first miscarriage. So to have found a heartbeat this time was amazing. I came out of the back room and everyone was starting at me and I just started bawling. Everyone was kind of sad until I said they found a heartbeat and I am pretty sure a couple people started crying with me. Had to be one of the happiest days of my life. Now here I am mothers day this year and I have a perfect little 4 month old healthy baby boy that I get to spend every day of my life with and I couldnt ask for a better life. He sure is special to me.

Well now that I have shared that wonderful story I need to sign off to feed him his green beans for supper. This should be fun!!!
