Welcoming Baby Landin!

I decided to post the last post and this one at the same time so that everyone wasn't bored of my pregnancy story lol.

Now to the exciting part!!!! We tried to take a lot of videos and pictures for those people that are curious about a home birth. We got what we could but didn't do too great of a job during me pushing and Landin just being born.

bye bye belly!! Can't wait to meet you baby!

My DJ for the morning....he chose a lot of great worship songs for me to labor to!

5:30am- Contractions were starting to get intense so we called Kyle's mom to come pick Jamin up. This is just after we woke him up.

A little after 6am our midwife got to our house and checked me. I was 8cm! I decided to get into the tub at this point. The tub gave me a few minutes break from contractions. I was thankful for this little break because it wasn't long before I started to push.

Things moved fast and I started pushing a half hour later. It took over an hour and a half to push this big boy out.

Meeting out little blessing!

Welcome precious baby!

After giving birth, I took a nice warm shower and then got into bed to watch Jessica do the newborn assessment.

Landin still connect to the placenta. The placenta is in the bag because we got my placenta encapsulated by Jessica. It has helped give me lots of energy since giving birth!

This is how Landin was weighed! 8lb 8oz.

Landin's first poop!

Measuring the head. 14in around!

Listening to our healthy little boy!

Sun is out...Time to have fun!

I set up a part of our big slip and slide for the boys to have fun with! Mommy, may have went down it a time or two also lol. You can definitely tell a difference in our house when there is warm weather outside! Lots more silliness and fun! Silliness during lunch...Dylin put this bucket on his head and thought it was the funniest thing ever. Some pictures of my handsome man....I love you so much Jamin!

Daddy's Little Helper and Ice Festival

Friday Jamin and I went to visit Kyle and work and took a few pictures! Jamin loved seeing the big trucks and playing in his daddy's office. Daddy's little Helper Writing down important jobs to go look at We think he's gonna be a lefty! Taking over the business This weekend we also went to Cripple Creek for the Ice Festival! We enjoyed seeing the ice scultures and going down the ics slide! My attempt to make peanutbutter-banana-honey sandwiches on the way home...Kyle didn't think I did very well because half of his banana was on the floor of the car :)

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous! Just driving in Harvey! We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
