MASON EDWARD HAS ARRIVED

Born: October 5, 2009 (Monday)
Time: 6:48 pm
Height: 20 inches
Weight: 8 lbs. 12 oz.
Eyes: Dark blue
Hair: Blonde

After what some would refer to as the longest pregnancy in history (especially me) :), Mason arrived four days early - with some help from the Midwife. I was admitted Monday morning around 7:30 am (which had been planned), started active labor at 2:06 pm, and Mason came into this world at 6:48 pm. All in all it was a pretty quick event (which as those of you who have been through labor know, it doesn't seem that quick at the time). We stayed at the hospital for two nights and were released to come home on Wednesday afternoon.

Savannah loves Mason to pieces! She refers to him as "my baby" and wants to hold, hug, and kiss him all the time. She is a great big sister!!!

Here are some of the first pictures of our newest addition:



We are all doing great and are rapidly trying to adjust to our new life. I will try and get more updates posted here shortly, as we have taken tons of photos. I just don't get to the computer very often. :)

Take care!
