Landrum's Favorite Things

Today is Landrum's 3 week birthday - right now we are celebrating weekly birthdays. She is growing and doing all the things she should be doing - eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom! She has a few favorite things; her Daddy - he has a special ability to calm her down when she gets worked up; her Bouncy Seat - a wonderful vibrating, singing seat that can put her to sleep in a flash; her Bath - she has had three full fledged baths in her tub and each time she likes it more and more; her Friends - she recently met the 4 Speed children who were quite taken with Baby Landrum! Here are some pictures of her favorite things!

Meet Baby Landrum!

After much anticipation and excitement (and a scare or two) Landrum Elizabeth was born on April 9th at 11:29am. She is healthy and well and so is mama. Jayme was doing great during labor, but Landrum wasn't and as Jayme continued contracting, Landrum's cord continued to tighten around her neck. Her heart rate was dropping too significantly and even though Jayme was at 7cm, Landrum couldn't wait. The doctors and nurses briskly took Jayme to surgery and had little Landrum out within minutes. It was more than a little traumatic since we didn't know what was going on, but we trusted the doctors, and knew that God was in control. We have been in good care at the hospital for 3 days now and are headed home tomorrow. We are excited to begin our family time together with this great blessing and miracle of life. It's hard to not give God thanks when He displays His power through His creation in a magnificent and beautiful way.
