Early Thursday morning I received a text message from Jeremiah saying that Mishelle is going into labor. They were going to eat breakfast, take a shower and head over to the hospital. Mike and I decided to do the same. Mishelle and Jeremiah arrived at the hospital around 6:00am. We arrived about an hour later, expecting to be there in plenty of time (as everyone kept telling me the first child always takes a while!). Anyway, much to our surprise Mishelle was in active labor when we arrived and was about to deliver Landon. A nurse peeked her head out the door and hurried me into the room. Mishelle was only in active labor about 20 minutes, when out came Landon. She was such a trooper; she didn't even want an epidural!?! It was so exciting; I even got to cut the umbilical cord! What an amazing experience. Michael had to wait in the lobby, but I immediately went out and showed him all the pictures! Thursday and Friday, we enjoyed spending time with Mishelle, Jeremiah and Landon. They are such an amazing couple who truly made a selfless decision! We respect them and cherish them with all our hearts!
Landon Michael Newman arrived on April 1,2010 at 7:22am. He was 7lbs and 19.25 inches long. He is healthy and happy and settling into his new home.
Landon snoozing in his crib. "Ahhh, this is nice!"
He really likes his bassinet/sleeper and his organic cotton blanket from "Auntie" Terri!
"Hi everyone, aren't I cute?"
This is Mike's mom, Sharon. On Thursday, "Gammy" said, "This is the best day of my life!"
These are my parents, Dennis and Donna.
This is "Auntie" Terri.
"It almost looks like I'm smiling." :)
"I'm wrapped like a baby burrito."
"Mmmm, yummy!"
"My first hair wash and I'm not even crying!"
