Landon Jason arrived at 12:10 pm et, June 4th. He weighed 9lbs 14oz...although the doctors say he pooped before they could weigh him and their sure he was 10lbs!!!!! He is 22.5 inches long and his head is 14 inches around.
Dadra went into labor around 11:30 last night and was able to sleep through some of it. She woke up at 5:45am and the contractions were 7 minutes apart. At 6:30, her water broke and by 8 we were at the hospital. She measured a 4 at 9 am and a 7 by 10am. She asked for an epidural (sp??) at 9am but it took them almost an hour to get the IV in her arm. They had 3 doctors stick her 5 times before one actually took!!!
By the time they had the needle in, it was too late. So Dadra gave birth without any medication!!! Her main pushing lasted for only 10 minutes and luckily Landon's head just fit. He had the cord wrapped around his head 2 times but thankfully it wasn't very tight. Mom and baby are now resting comfortably in the hospital. Her are some of my favorite pictures....

Too Cute! My favorite is the one with just Abby and Landon! She looks so proud!
Dadra looks really good to!
Dadra is surely a trooper. 10lb baby with no epidural!!!! Amazing
I love it. What a cute little newborn. Way to go Dadra. Now you have two huge bragging rights - marathon runner and natural childbirth!
So cute! Congratulations! Personally I think without an epidural is much better, but I have quick labors. That sure is a big baby; glad he came on his own and that you are all doing well. Thanks for posting pictures Jason and we cannot wait to see more!
Congratulations! He sure is a good lookin' little guy! I can't believe that you have such big babies! And with no epidural!?!? Amazing! I'm so happy for you guys.
Wonderful pictures! We are so glad all went as good as it did. The baby is soooo cute and does look a lot like Abby did but has his own look also. Abby looks proud but so do you Jason and Dadra.
Dadra is my hero! Congratulations! I love the pictures and can't wait to come meet him. Abby does look very proud, you have a cute family!
What a cute little guy! I can't believe he was such a chub and that you pushed such a big baby out with no meds. Congrats to your family!
Congratulations! He is so cute. I can't believe you did that without any drugs. That is amazing!
Childbirth is amazing, but even more so when the baby weighs almost 10 lbs. Whitney and I are so excited for you and think you two have the cutest kids!
What a big baby! He looks like the rest of you too.

Congrats! That is amazing. Landon looks so cute! I'd be interested to hear how Dadra liked going natural. (Like,do you recover faster?)
Wow Dadra, you have superhero strength! Big babies with no epidural. Running marathons when preggo. Smiling pretty for the camera after giving birth. You're awesome. And little Landon is a cutie! Congrats.
Dadra what a beautifully big baby boy. You look great. You would never now you did it all naturally. Congrats to you and Jason.
Wow! Dadra, I think you deserve a day at the spa after this. Congratulations, your pictures are just precious.
