Masons Blessing day
Yesterday was Masons blessing day and it was great, i wish more family could have been there i really wanted to see my brothers and there kids but it is so close to christmas and it is hard to travel so far. My brother Joe and his family were there so that was good. Alan did such a good job on the blessing he did an amazing job. the man that mason is named after was there and that was special, i know nobody in my family even knows him but his name is foster and he came to mean a lot to me and alan. He taught and inspired us in ways that we cant explain to anyone. It is also one of alans favorite names ;)

Better late than never!
Well i have been meaning to post about my new baby boy but time and just flown by and now he is 7 weeks old!!
He was born on September 27th @ 5:04pm he weighed 6 lbs 5 oz 19 inches long. That morning i had a doctors appt @ 11:30 and when i went in i was complaining of the intense pressure i was feeling i was only dilated at a 2 but the doc decided to monitor them and see if i was having contractions. I already knew i was but they wernt that bad. He said i was having regular contractions but to go home and drink plenty of water and call if anything changed. I was on my way to see my mother in law and pick up my daughter and as soon as i started driving the contractions got way more intense it was hard to drive but i made it. I timed them at my MIL work and they were 2-3 minutes apart! Yikes so i called Alan and we headed to the hospital when i checked in it was around one o clock. The nurses there were great and so nice my doctor just saw me and didnt seem to concerned and he especially didnt expect me to deliver so quickly. They were debating on whether to send me home or not i was starting to get worried cause i knew he was coming and if we left i might not make it back to the hospital in time. I went from 2- 10 in just a couple hours, Alan and my sister in law Kyla were there with me. I loved having Kyla there she was awesome and such a big help to me and to alan. At some point i felt my water break and then it was only a matter of minutes and it became time for the nurses to kick it in high gear cause Mason was coming and nobody was prepared....(again) At this point i felt the most crazy intense urge to push but the nurse kept telling me not to, i tell you what i never want to hold back that feeling again. I started to vomit in my mouth cause i was holding it back as hard as i could but he was coming and i really really really needed to push finally the doctor came in i was so happy to see him. He asked if he had time to change and the nurse was like uhh no he is right there. I pushed a couple times and the doctor put him right on my tummy! i cant tell you how much i loved that. With Kaitlyn they took her away right away and i didnt have that skin to skin time with her and i really believe it made all the difference with Mason. He was so beautiful just a perfect little round head and he wasn't all yuck lol i remember that katie wasnt either she was surprising clean for a newborn baby. I did it all natural with no medication again and im so happy i was able to do it. I didnt know what to expect with my second baby if it would go as smooth as kaite did. It was different in a lot of ways but it went smoothly and couldn't have gone better. Giving birth to my kids naturally has come to mean a lot to me, i cant describe how amazing it feels to feel your little baby come into the world its something i just love and im so happy i chose to do it that way. I dont think its wrong or anything to have meds and i dont think less of ppl who do i just personally dont want to.
