Update

Landon went back to the pediatrician Monday, January 25th.  When we left the hospital he weighed 7lbs. 12 oz.  At almost 2 weeks old, he now weighs 8 lbs. 12 oz. He no longer has any sign of jaundice and is already holding his head up and trying to turn over when put down on his tummy.  I'm terrible because I cannot for the life of me remember his length except that he hasn't reached 22 inches long yet.  We did have to change his formula to a soy based one and hope that it is easier on his stomach.  I continue to be in awe of him and just spend a lot of time staring at this miracle that God has blessed our family with.  A perfect blend of Joe and I and such a sweet little man.  I still can't believe that he's here.  I'll have more pictures soon.  I know it has taken a while to post on here, but Landon has days/nights confused still, so I sleep when he does usually. 

Love you all!
Love,
Krystle, Joe, and Landon :)

Landon Michael Sapp is here :)

Hey guys!  What I had hoped would be a routine birth turned out to be anything but.  When I have more time, I'll go into more details. I'm sure most of you know the story anyway.  We put in a hard day of labor but ended up having to have an emergency c-section.  I am still recovering from that of course and will be for the next several days.  Landon Michael finally arrived on the scene January 13, 2010 at 10:41 p.m.  Because he was a c-section baby, Daddy went with him to the nursery and introduced him to the family while I was being stapled back up and taken to recovery.  The sweetest sound that has ever tickled my ears was the sound of my baby crying after being pulled from my stomach in the OR.  I was so relieved that he was finally here and ok.  I was able to kiss him on the forehead before he was taken away.  I didn't get to see him again until 2 am.  Landon weighed 8 lbs. 2 ozs. and measured a whopping 21 inches long.  He is certainly the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.  What an amazing change that takes place in your heart.  I knew I was going to love him, but not like this.  And Joe is the most amazing Daddy and husband.  He's been wonderful with Landon and patient with me.  Recovery, so far, has not been a cup of tea. But Joe has made it more than bearable.  We have had so many people call, visit and offer to help that I just feel overwhelmed (in the best way possible).  I know this is scattered, but give me some credit. It's 5 am and Landon and I do not have our days and nights in order just yet.  I mainly wanted to post to show you some pictures of our angel.

Love all of us!

Super Quick Update (before school)

I have had two doctor's appointments this week to check for any change/progress.  Nothing has changed really.  I am now between 1 and 2 cm, still 50% effaced (thinned). So, we have a room at the "inn", as my NP calls it, on Wednesday, January 13th.  Or in my little brain, Tuesday night at midnight :) Tuesday sounds better! I don't know any details past that for the inducement, but I am going to call today. 6 days or less and this journey will come to an end.  It really has been wonderful..right up to about 2 weeks ago when I hit the "miserable" stage.  But honestly, I have been blessed with a healthy pregnancy and as far as we can tell at this point, a healthy baby.  I will be back in touch soon with more details. Just wanted to let you all know where we stand at this point!
