Landon is finally here!


I thought i would post a few of my last month awkward belly pictures. Boy am i glad i'm not pregnant anymore :)
My due date was July 23rd so my mother in law flew out on the 22nd to help out for a week. Unfortunately the little guy was just to cozy to want to come out. I have always been really against getting induced, unless i get to be like 2 weeks over. After much prayer and contemplation i decide to go ahead and get induced 1 week after my due date. It took a lot of my worry and stress away knowing that Cindy would be here to watch my girls while i was in the hospital.
Here i am at the hospital getting checked in at 6 a.m. They ended up sending me home because they had a busy night and there were no rooms available. They had me call every couple of hrs. to see if one had come available. Finally i was able to go in around 5 pm. What a long night. I was sick with a horrible cold and it took me 12 hrs. to have him.
Landon Hubert Hendriks
born July 30th at 7:05 a.m
9 lbs 2 oz, 21 inches long

There is not a more amazing feeling in the world then when they hand you your precious little baby and you finally get to meet this little spirit that has been growing inside you (and kicking the crap out of you) for 9 months.





The girls just love their new baby brother! They also loved having Grandma to play with all week. Unfortunately She had to go home the day after i had Landon. It sure was nice having a week brake from the kids though. Thanks Cindy for all your help and doing so many fun things with the girls.

I'm so glad everything worked out in the end. And I can relate about the induction (see my blog post at http://katrinaskitchen35.blogspot.com/2011/05/when-intervention-is-neccessary.html). Hope you're adjusting well and enjoying your little guy! We're enjoying ours. :)

YAY!!! I can't stop laughing at that first picture of you. You are 100% all belly. I would pay lots and lots of money to carry babies like that!!

We're so happy for your cute little family and that Bryan finally has his soccer-playin' little boy!

See you soon!

Congratulations!! Wow, our kids must all be about the same ages. They all look so sweet. I love the preggo pic! You really do look like you have a basketball under your dress. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen your pics from the first pregnancy!

So happy for you guys.
