Welcoming Landon to our family

This week has been a tiring yet super rewarding and amazing week. It all started on Tuesday when Jenelle went to her doctors appointment. At this point she 3 days over her due date. The doctor accidentally broke Jenelle's water. Oops. :)  We were really excited! We knew we would get to see our little boy soon. We then headed to the hospital, stopping at subway on the way, and got there around 1 PM. We proceeded to labor and delivery where would would stay the night.

After 22 hours of labor, 3 of which were pushing, and 3 failed attempts with the vacuum, our little guys was just too big. The only option at this point was a cesarean section. Luckily for us, it wasn't an emergency, just unplanned.
A short time later, we were able to hear our baby crying!

Landon Howard Waite was born on July 27 2011 at 10:15 AM. He weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 21 inches long.

He is such a cute little guy who loves to be held. He had dark blue eyes when he was born, but we will see if the stay blue. He makes really epic faces. And he looks like an old asian man.
Everyone is doing well. Landon is a little jaundiced, but is improving quickly. Jenelle regaining strength quickly. I am mostly caught up on sleep.  We will be returning to our home Sunday, where parenthood will really sink in. We are really excited for this new chapter in our lives.
