Mason and his Big Brothers!!

Me and my Little Big Brother, Kayden!
Mason and HIs Big Brother, Kysen!!
K ysen and Kayden in their Big Brother T-hirts that we made. They were so proud to wear them. Mason also has one that says I'm the little brother!!

Kysen and Kayden were so excited to meet Mason. They were sad because the first day they were not able to see him or hold him because he was in the nursery and they did not allow them to come in. But they were able to officially meet him the next morning. Now all they want to do is hold him and kiss him and love on him. But I love seeing tem together. The bigger boys seem to be adjusting well to their new little brother. Kayden said to me the first day he saw him "Mom, He has lots of little hairs on his head." I thought it was so cute. They already just want to play with him, I have to keep reassuring them that the time will come soon enough when all 3 of them will be wrestling around on the ground together. Kysen can't wait to teach him how to walk and talk and play with all of their toys he says.He came up to me the other day and said "Mom, Thank You for my little brother." It just melted my heart. But they just love him to death. And it makes me so happy to see all of them together. Iam the proud Mommy of 3 little Boys!!

The first 24 hours home!

Mommy and Mason at home woking on the blog!!Mason in his dinosaur p.s.'s. The were kind of big on him and he got both of his legs caught in one leg. It was so funny. Megan and I were cracking up this morning.
I just really love this picture. He looks so cute!
And here are his feet. Some of you know how I love baby feetand always have to check them out! He has the longest toes ever and big feet for his tiny body. And his feet also bend all the way back to his shins like his big brother Kayders ( because he has Hypermobility) Mason might have it too. We will see.
Mommy and Mason. This was the first time I got to see him in the nursery. I was so happy, I was not able to see him for about 6 hours and that killed me. So I was happy to finally see him.

Mason and I were discharged from te hospital yesterday at around 11:00 am. It was finally time to go home. Hooray!! We got home and just lounged around all day. Mason and I took a ittle nap, well I guess I took a little na cause Mason just sleeps all day like a normal newborn. But it was nice to take a little snooze with him. The night went well he woke up several times to eat and that went well. Although the 2 am feeding he stayed up and did not sleep well for about 2 hours. He was really fussy off and on. But then finally it was timw to eat again and thwn he settled right down and slept clear till morning. Thank godness because I was exhausted.

This mornng we had to go to the Hospital and have his billirubin level checked because he is very jaundice. Hid level was in the extremely high zone yeserday before we left. But several hours later after we came home we called the pediatrician and his levels were going down so that was a major relief. They said they would just recheck him next week on tuesday when we go in. But so far our day has gone well. He is also nurseing very well. Things are going much better this time around. Maybe because I have had practice at least 2 times before. He is the most precious baby!! I can't believe that I have another baby boy. He is succh a miracle. He is just like a litle sleeping angel. And every once in a while he will wake up for a minute and look around and it is so cute. He has big beautiful eyes. Iam the luckiest mommy in the world!

And I did forget last night he had his first spongebath at home he was not happy about it but he smelled like a fresh new baby after that. I love the smell of a baby all claen and freshly lotioned up :). I will try to post more in the days to come but if it takes me a while please be patient. I will do my best

Mason and Daddy's first day together.






Mommy Gets to Hold Mason




After waiting for a 3-4 hours, Mandy got to visit with Mason.

Mason sees the light of day!





As Mandy explained, Mason is now with us and he is a miracle to me. He is a perfect baby. Just like any other new dad I couldn't stop staring at him. Here is a pic of him just as he is coming out.

Finally our Beautiful baby is here!!

Well we just had a Baby!! He is so cute!! he weighed 6" 14 oz and was 19 inches long. And he was born at 12:54 pm. He has a ton of dark black hair as you can tell by the pictures. The c-section went smoothly with no problems. Although when Mason was born he swallowd a little to much fluid and is breathing a little to fast. So unfortunately I have not yet been able to see him. Hopefully soon he can come into the room. Iam still numb so I can't go into to see him yet. Iam dying to see him and so is Kysen and Kayden. His blood sugar was also really low so they had to feed him a little formula through a tube so his sugar would come up. But it has and he is doing a litle better now. But we are all very excited for him. And we can't wait to be able to hold him and to love on him. We are all very excited!! I couldn't believe how tiny he was compared to Kysen and Kayden who both weighed 8" 1 oz. He is so tiny but very cute. I think you can tell that he is a good mix of Kenny and I. I can't believe all of the love that I instantly have for him. It is amazing how it happens, When you think there is no more room in your heart to love another child and then in 1 instant you have more love for all of your children then you know what to do with. I know that Mason will have more than enough love from his whole family.

Well I know that Kenny and I will both try to keep everybody updated with this blog the best we can so that you can all see him grow and change. Like I said before Iam so excited to welcome little Mason into the world. He is a beautiful Baby.

Mason's Day

So Mason get's introduce to the world today. It's nine o'clock and Mandy's C-section is scheduled for 12:00 noon. I've spent most of yesterday and this morning in wonder and anticipation.
