Wednesday, May 25th Jason and I got to spend some more time with Landon. We went up there to hang out and take some pictures of our little boy. He had a little bit of jaundice, so he was put under Bili Lights to help with that. It kind of looks like he is in a tanning bed and he has to wear little black sunglasses anytime the lights are on the protect his sensitive eyes. Also, late Wednesday night they started him on his first feeding of breast milk which was a big step!
It looks a little scary because he has a breathing tube and a feeding tube on top of the IVs and other monitors all over him. We have started getting used to them but it can still be overwhelming. The nurse that night also taught us that he likes to be contained. It makes him feel safe and secure to have your hands laying on him or keeping his feet bunched up close, it reminds him of being back in the womb.
Here are some pictures we took that night with him:
