Our "LITTLE" big surprise

Well, you know what they say about big storms and women going into labor! I think our new little arrival was somewhat anxious to come. I won't go into any specific details (I will leave it up to the pro blogger)-by the way-this is Brian posting this. It's my first time posting a blog and frankly I'm little intimidated, so bare with me!
I would like to introduce Landon Brian Nuttall! He was born at 1:03 A.M. this morning, December 8th. He weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz., and measured 21" long. He has been surprisingly content to be here, so obviously coming a week early was all his idea. He worked so hard for the first twenty minutes to open his eyes, so the video is him looking around for the first time. I think he looks like a little Jackson with other features from the rest of us. Anyways, like I said at the first "I'll leave the details up to the profesional."


The real reason I wanted to come home to blog this tonight was to brag about the amazing woman that you all know through this blog. I am so in love with Melissa and am so grateful to have her as the mother of my children. I always looked forward to married life with a wife and kids, but I never thought it would be so satisfying and rewarding. She has shown so much strength and love toward me and our now four children. We finally got all settled in our new room at around 3:30 a.m. I felt so wiped out and could barely stay awake anymore, and I couldn't understand how Melissa could still have any energy in her body after being awake for over 24 hours, and going through the delivery process. Yet, once again, never ceasing to amaze me, she just laid there with the new mother glow and a smile on her face. I think she only slept for about 3 hours before Landon was brought in to eat. The only concern she had was that I could sleep. What a woman! I love her and am grateful to have her as mine.
