Finn Tasman Heindorff



Meet my baby boy! I can't believe he is already 1 week old today. I have LOVED having his new spirit in our family and really have a hard time putting him down when I don't really need to! He loves to be cuddled and it's looking like he'll be a good eater (as long as he can stay awake!)

Chain of events:


Olive Garden for dinner, where I proceeded to drink the salad dressing (thanks for the tip Lacey!) and to be honest, it was not that bad! We had mentioned to the waitress we had a bit of proof that drinking the dressing would encourage labor to come on. She was so great, she brought out 2 cups of dressing and even sent us home with extra boxes of pasta and some dressing to go! I want to go back and let her know it worked!! Not that you can see it in the photo but Jerry Sloan was sitting in the table just a bit behind us. Anyway, next on the list....


Pedicures! Adam was such a trooper heading to the mall to get a pedicure. I asked my guy to rub my ankles as much as possible...just in case!

I went to my doctor's appointment the next day and guess what.....




2 1/2 hours after being admitted and induced I was able to hold my precious baby boy! Labor was fantastic and progressed so quickly. He weighed in at 7 lbs 5oz and 19 inches long. He is adorable and we feel so blessed to have him with us!

ps.(Don't all new moms just love those, just had my baby I have been carrying around for 9 months, gained 35+ pounds and haven't slept in weeks, photos?)

Congratulations!! What a beautiful new addition you guys have. Boys are so sweet and lovable to their mommy's trust me I know, Caleb was the sweetest baby. If I knew I would have a boy, I would totally have another one. Hope you can catch up on your sleep soon. I love his name too!
