Easy like Sunday Morning

Winston has been so great with Henry. I had nothing to worry about. He loves to sneak kisses and is super protective of him. He lays just close enough to keep watch over his baby when someone new is holding Henry. He has to make sure you know what you're doing before he settles down.

Winston: "I'm being good...don't make me get down!"

first night in magic jammies...thanks Krista for the tip!

We survived the second night much better than the first. We woke up to a beautiful Sunday morning! I looked up from the kitchen, where I was making a much needed cup of coffee, to find this...Chad, Henry, Winston cuddled up on the sofa, complete with a cup of coffee, computer and sports center for daddy. I have all I ever wanted. Life is good...

First Night Home

We had no idea what to expect...

Where Henry was supposed to sleep but I was too afraid he would stop breathing!

I held him all night and Chad spent every few hours running around the house getting the things I had no idea I needed stashed in our bedroom until we had him home. We celebrated surviving the night with donuts from Christie's. It's become a Saturday morning routine now, with Chad bringing them home before I even ask!

It feels like home to me

Let's blow this joint!

Our cup runneth over...

We welcome with much love and surprise our sweet baby boy...Henry Theodore Mason. We met our son August 25th at 638pm after a very long and hard day for mommy and baby ending in a c-section with a happy baby weighing in at 8lbs. even and 20 3/4th inches long...healthy, beautiful, perfect. We are both doing well and hoping to be home in the next two days. Thank you to everyone who sent messages of love and support. We can't wait for you all to meet him. In the mean time...a few pics!

It's baby time!

Going to the hosptial. I wanted tons of pictures and Chad was just rushing me around! I love, love, love all my friends at work who made us feel so special and loved. I mean who gets to have their baby in a room so beautifully decorated. Thank you to all of them. My heart is full!!

35 weeks...

And we are huge!!! (late entry...this is from July 29th) We had another ultrasound this week and Baby Mason is a chunky monkey! Weighing in at 6'4" with 4 weeks to go I have started preparing myself for a c-section. I guess I should have stayed away from ice cream and oreos. We'll see if this sweet tooth goes away after this little one is here. The nursery is looking great...post pictures soon!

Sweet Friends...I heart you!

Baby Mason and I celebrated with all of my dear friends at work and it made me realize how wonderful of a job I have. I get to see a glimpse of the face of God almost everday delivering babies and share in such a wonderful time in peoples lives. My pregnancy has only confirmed what a special relationship I have the oppurtunity to make with my patients. And the people I work with...they are priceless. I feel so blessed to genuinely love what I do and very lucky to have made such great friends through my job. I guess it is a blessing and a curse that time is flying by so quickly! So thank you to the dear girls in my class for celebrating Baby Mason on such a lovely Sunday afternoon. You have no idea how much it helped me get through those last few days of working nights.
