Meet Landen Mitchell Taflinger!

Landen Mitchell Taflinger was welcomed into the world at 12:03pm on Wednesday, June 4th.

6 pounds 11 oz
19 and 1/4 inches long

We went to the hospital on Tuesday to get prepared for the induction that started in the middle of the night Tuesday/Wednesday. I had hard contractions for about 4 hours, epidural, then a surprising hour and 45 minutes later he was born. Doctor checked me at 10:15am and said he wouldn't be born till around 5 later that night, therefore I wanted the meds!!! :) At that point I was only at 4 cm dilated. Within an hour and 10 minutes I felt extreme pressure and the contracts came back and were more intense. The nurses checked, I was fully dilated and his head was already showing. The doctor rushed down to my room and within a few pushes he made his arrival!!

Here are some pictures right after he was born!





The next day! He is such a little peanut! So little! He has dark blue eyes and light brown/blonde hair! I think both eyes and hair will lighten with time!



SO CUTE!



I just love the way he puts his hands right by his mouth. My great-grandmother did this all the time! Makes me think of her! :)



First car ride! He did such a great job!



Just love him!



More pictures to come! I am definitely camera happy! He is such a joy! I have caught myself in the middle of the night crying just holding him. Although I'm tired, grumpy, hungry, and sore I could hold him for hours and hours! I can't wait for everyone to meet him! :)

Love,
Chad, Angela, Landen :) :)
