Introducing Landon Dean Snow!

Baby finally made his appearance! We scheduled an induction for the early morning of November 1 since he was eight days late. I started contractions on my own sometime in the hour or two beforehand, but they weren’t doing much, so they put me on a low dosage of Pitocin to move things along. He was born at 12:32 PM and was 7 lbs. 11 oz.—almost a pound more than Aiden! He held out for November and picked a cool weight so we could be birthday buddies (I was born 11/11 at 11:11, so the nurses called me the 7-11 baby).

So far he has been really mellow, crying a lot less than the baby in the room next to us and hardly fussing at all through all of his newborn screenings. He might, however, be nocturnal.

So far, he has dark hair and blue eyes. We’ll see how everything turns out in time.

We are lucky to have three of his four grandparents in town right now, which has been exceptionally helpful with Aiden, who is still not sure what to think about Baby Brother.

He came a lot later than expected, but he is so healthy, and we couldn’t be happier to finally meet him.
