Last night....

So I decided last night (around 8pm) I was going to have a Pepsi. Now, Landon does not do caffine from soda. He is fine with chocolate, but when it comes to caffeinated soda..that's a big no no. I wanted to try out the formula before bed to see if that would fill his stomach up more anyway so I didnt breastfeed before he went to bed. Formula only seemed to extend him 30 minutes more, so I guess I might as well stick to breastfeeding. I have another reason for sticking only to breastfeeding and that is because Landon woke up around 3 am. I hadnt nursed or pumped since 8pm. right before my soda, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what breast implants feel like. He woke up and ate so much at 3 am that suddenly he threw up! This was not just like a little bit of spit up this was probably like all of the milk he had just drank. I had about 4 or 5 ounces of milk on my sleep pants and he had milk on his sleeper. The poor little guy. I had to get up change my pants, and change his outfit quickly. I dont know if it was because I hadnt nursed or pumped for so long that the milk was not setting with him well or if it was because he drank a ton too fast. Maybe it was both, but whatever it was after he was changed he was so happy and just kept looking up at me and smiling. I told him 'I know what you just did, you were getting rid of the old milk cause you only want fresh.' More smiles. That has to be one of the most rewarding things, to see your child's love in their eyes and smiles over doing practically nothing! Daniel and I love Landon so much, we could be having a bad day and we can just look at him and it's like everything is better.
Lately, I have had some major things to take care of. They are crucial and have to be done in a timely manner. I already had 3 fairly big things to take care of and yesterday I had 1 more added to my plate. I have to take care of these things for my family and for me and none of them can really be put off. But, I look at Landon and everything is fine. His smile could melt a heart of stone and I am so blessed that God chose me to be this little boy's mommy.
As of a couple of days ago Landon learned to start sitting up. It is so impressive. If he is in the mood to sit up and I take his hands in mine, suddenly I will see his head lifting off of the pillow he is laying on. He is getting really good at it and sometimes he can start sitting up on his own. That has been the latest for Landon besides his first big throw up last night (poor little boy :(....)
