We made it home yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon and we are all happy to be here. Lucy loves Landon, and has taken her role as surrogate mother, just as expected. Landon seems to like her too and she did a great job of keeping him awake yesterday afternoon for an hour or so by sticking her nose on his feet, hands, ears, etc. Both our precious puppies have a very annoying habit that we thought might be an issue with Landon...every day (usually late afternoon), they suddenly sprint out the back door barking their loudest barks at every passing car. We thought that he'd be startled every time they do it. But he obviously got used to it in the womb, because he hasn't flinched even once! And this is even more of a surprise because he flinches at other sudden noises, like a fork hitting a glass plate, a loud cough or sneeze, etc.
Judy and Wes have taken such great care of all of us. Judy made a beautiful sign (pics below) to welcome us home, and we've had a warm welcome from neighbors as well. Landon seems very relaxed at home and followed a pretty good pattern of eating, sleeping, and chilling yesterday. He seems to sleep best between 3 and 8, and then again for a couple of hours at a time through the morning, if the last 2 nights mean anything. So if we can shift that a little earlier, we'd be even happier!
We go to our first pediatrician visit today so hopefully that goes well. Will post more later!

Ready for my first car ride:

Fast friends:
We're home!
Glad to hear everyone is home and adjusting.
ReplyDeleteBTW, yesterday I was at the dog park with Chauncey, and ran into dog-friends. They have a 5 month baby boy and yesterday was the first time I had seen them, since she was pregnant. I was holding the baby and Chauncey kept coming up to the baby to lick his feet too! It was super sweet. :)
