HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!!!!!!!

My first nephew, Landon Dale von Minden was born early this morning! I can't wait to see him...I wish I was there!!!! Poor Misti...the baby came so fast, there was no time for drugs.....yikes!!!

So here is the rundown....I stole it from Amy's blog :)

  • Sunday 1/15--Church, grocery shopping, cleaning house, feeling awesome.
  • 11:00 pm Sunday--Misti starts having contractions
  • 2:00 am Monday--Call grandparents to come watch Jordyn, Landon's 4-year-old sister. Grandparents are 20 minutes away but Landon's not waiting and this bus has got to go! Load up and drive 90 mph to the hospital in Austin.
  • 3:00 am--Arrive at hospital, Misti's screaming, Jordyn's shaking, and the front seat is soaked!
  • 3:15 am--Brad & Jordyn meet grandparents in the parking lot, Brad heads back to the room to hear the nurse say, "There's the head with lots of hair!"
  • 3:30 am--Happy Birthday Landon! Welcome to the world! 6 lbs., 15 oz., 19 inches
  • 5:15 am--Phone rings and it is Amy....I thought SHE was in labor!!! Oh my goodness!! But NO....she told me the news about Landon!

I got to talk to Misti this afternoon and she sounds awesome. She said he looks just like Jordyn and he has a lot of hair :) I love this baby so much already! Pictures will be posted as soon as I get them! I am going to look at flights to see when I can go see that baby! :)
