Bath Time!

Mason LOVES bathtime :) Here are some pictures of him right after a bath the other night!

Merry Christmas!

Mason's first Christmas was so exciting! This year, we did lunch at Nana's house in Blythewood, then made our way back to Irmo to do dinner with Brandon's family at his Aunt Brenda's house.
We had a very eventful day needless to say! We slept very well that night :)
Now having a son, I better grasp the real reason behind Christmas. I love all the new things I'm learning being a Mother, and Brandon and I working together.
Mason was the best early Christmas gift anyone could ask for! I can't wait to spend many more Christmas's with our little family we have now!

Christmas Eve!

Tonight, we went to a Christmas play at East Lake with Brandon's family. It was an amazing play, we really enjoyed it! Mason was GREAT through-out the whole thing, even with the loud music and clapping!!
Now, we are just waiting on Santa to arrive!!! We are so excited to be celebrating Mason's first Christmas tomorrow :)

Mommy and Mason Matching Shirts :)

Okay, so I was a little jealous Brandon and Mason got matching shirts and they didn't have any that fit me left!
So, I made sure Mason and I matched the other day, and we got a pic together too! haha :)

Mason and Daddy's Christmas Shirts :)

Today we found matching shirts for Mason and Brandon at Old Navy!! They were just too cute not to buy :) (even though the only size they had left for Mason was 3-6 month, so it's a kind of big on him!)
We are so excited to celebrate mine and Brandon's 3rd Christmas together, and Mason's very first Christmas this year! I can't believe Christmas is next week! This year has flown by, I think because I was pregnant most of the year! :)

1 WEEK OLD!!!

I can't believe that Mason is a week old already, he is just so amazing! I never thought I could love someone this much, or this unconditionally! (except for Brandon). I love waking up every morning and seeing his little face, and his little hands and feet. I feel so blessed to have such a healthy baby boy!

Mason with his Eyes Open!

5 days old!

Our baby is now 5 days old!!! I can't believe it :) Being a Mother is the most amazing feeling in the world. Mason is such a wonderful baby, we couldn't be more blessed!

Hiccups :)

This is a video Brandon took while we were still in the hospital of Mason only a few hours old with hiccups!!!

Mason has arrived!

Mason arrived on November 30, 2008 @ 2:02 p.m., he weighed 8lbs 8oz, and completely healthy.
Brandon and I went to the hospital Saturday night/Sunday morning at about 3:30 a.m., I was having contractions every 2 minutes! When we arrived, we met one of our wonderful nurses Heather, so told us to walk around the hosptial for about an hour to try and stir up my cervix, and get it to contract...Brandon and I started our journey around, and had fun, laughing, and just so anxious and excited that our son would be born soon!
My contractions went from tolerable, to HURTING in that hour of walking..Heather gave me a "happy" shot, and told Brandon and I to rest for a couple hours while we could..So, we did. We were both cuddled up, and watched informercials (that's all that is on at 4:30 am)
I got some sleep, but not much..I was just sooo anxious! Mom and Dad (Grandma & Grandaddy) arrived to sit with us, my Nana and Pa came also, but they left to go back to Florida Sunday too, they had been here all week for Thanksgiving).
Next time I was checked I was about 6 cm dilated. Brandon was starving, so Dad made the suggestion that Brandon should go eat now, while he still could. While Brandon go food, I got my epidural (it was amazing), and 30 min later the doctor came in, and was kind of worried bc everytime I would have a contraction, the babies heart rate would go down. So, he checked me, and informed me I was 10 cm dilated, and started telling me how to push!! The next wonderful nurse Linda, grabbed my cell phone off the table, and said call Brandon because this baby is coming soooon!!
I called Brandon, and all I had to say was "get in here NOW", 30 seconds later Brandon arrived, and we wasted no time in pushing! He was an amazing partner, kept telling me what a great job I was doing! :) 15 minutes later little Mason arrived in this world at 2:02 p.m.!!!! We were just overwhelmed with emotion, no one can ever describe the feelings you get once your child is born!
Brandon and I are so in love with our son, and we can't wait for Mason to be apart of all our friends and families lives, and for you to fall in love with him too :) Here are some pics!!
