What can you expect from first-time moms? The same as Deiondra Sanders and thousands of other women around the world are facing. It’s been nearly four months since Deiondra and her fiancé Jacquees welcomed Baby Snow into the world, which coincidentally was on Grandpa Deion Sanders’ birthday on August 9. But for a mother, that surreal feeling never really leaves.
Deiondra Sanders shared a post she found relatable on her Instagram story on November 4. The post read, “[I don’t] think being a mom [is going to] ever feel real🤣 I just be staring at my kid like, ‘Where did you even come from?’ 🤣🤣” Relating wholeheartedly to the post, Deiondra wrote, “Okay so I’m not alone. I stay staring at Snow like I’m really somebody momma! LOL.” Don’t worry if you don’t get it; it’s mom talk!
But as far as we know, Snow is the best thing that happened to Deiondra. He arrived in the Sanders’ household as a bundle of joy, already bonding with the family members. Why, he even visited Grandpa Deion last week and had a hilariously messy moment, one that both Coach Prime and his daughter shared on Instagram. “He was taking a standing dump! He blew the back out of his diaper,” Deion wrote. And what did Snow do after that?

As Deiondra Sanders put it, “He def blew the diaper out then smiled after😭😂😩” The little engine stole Deion Sanders’ heart as soon as he was born, and that was confirmed yet again when the 57-year-old shared another video on Instagram; this time while taking his grandson for a walk. Recorded by Deion Sanders Jr, the video zoomed in on Baby Snow’s hands. Deion’s caption? “The baby has #CoachPrime hands, so that also means he’s gonna be good with them thangs😂😂”
Coach Prime may have hinted that Baby Snow could be following in his footsteps, excelling in not just one but two sports (football and baseball) professionally. But this wasn’t the only noteworthy moment of the day out with Deiondra and her newborn. Baby Snow bonded with his uncle, Deion Sanders Jr, too! Deiondra uploaded a series of photos of her brother holding Snow with the caption, “Uncle OSSACIN in full effect 🥰”
Coming back to Deiondra and her finding it hard to believe she’s a mother at times, it may be because of how difficult her pregnancy was. And everything she went through to ensure Baby Snow was born healthy. After she gave birth, Deiondra posted a picture of herself in the hospital, detailing her pregnancy journey. “I’m having my baby for the 4 myomectomy surgeries I have had,” she wrote.

Is Deiondra Sanders redefining what it means to balance motherhood and a thriving career?
Have an interesting take?
“I am having my baby for all the years I stayed on birth control even though it gave me breast tumors. I’m having my baby for all the doctors who told me I wouldn’t make it out of the first trimester. I’m having a baby for the 7 current fibroids that surround my uterus to this day.” Despite medical professionals calling it a high-risk pregnancy, Deiondra knew she wanted to pull through.
She concluded, “I’m having this baby to give hope to all the other women that may be in my situation. No matter what doctor’s say, GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY.” Now, three months later, both mom and baby are well and healthy. And Deiondra couldn’t be happier. From the looks of it, neither could Deion Sanders. While Deion may have said that Deiondra is at the top of his ‘Kids Rankings’ after she gave birth, the rankings might just change to include Baby Snow, too! And we all know he’ll go right to the No. 1 spot.
