Zachary made his way into this world five weeks early on January 6, 2009. Amazingly, he weighed 6 pounds and was 20 inches long. He probably would have been huge had he waited until his due date. The first 10 days if his life he had to spend in the NICU. At first he needed some oxygen to help him breath and by the time he could breath on his own he had forgotten how to suck so he stayed in the hospital a few more days until he could drink from a bottle. We were able to bring him home on Friday, the 16th and now we are working on breastfeeding. He's doing really well and looks like he will have it down in no time. At least that's what I'm hoping since it's getting really tiring to be pumping and bottle feeding. Landon is adjusting to having a little brother. The first couple of days he would get upset when I was feeding Zach and try to make messes everywhere. The last couple of days haven't been quite as bad although he does get a little upset when Zachary won't take the pacifier that he tries to give him.
