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. 

Here is my little guy right after he was born

Here is my little man now ... I just love him he is one handsome little dude!  :)

It's happening!!!

I went to the doctor today and he wasnt going to check to see if i was dilated but I have been having such intense pressure to where i almost cant walk he decided to. Im at a 2 i cant believe it is really happening soon, i keep thinking about all the changes with a new baby. Nursing again, late nights, all the crying and rocking and loving. Teaching katie to be gentle and most of all getting to finally hold my little son i cant wait im getting anxious about labor if i think about it to hard but i know it will be ok. AHHHHHHH im having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nesting :)

Well I have three weeks left till this baby is due, i want him to come now but my sweet mother in law is leaving town this week and will be gone for a week so he has to wait till she at least comes back.  Alan has been building a fence for our puppy out in the front yard that come up to the door so when i get overwhelmed with the dog and katie and the baby i can send the pup outside for a while to get a break and katie to lol and i dont have to worry about them getting out and going up to the road. 
Today i was cleaning katies room and it seemed like no matter how much i kept cleaning it was still a mess so i said thats it we are rearranging, anyone who knows me know that  no room in my house stays the same for to long i love to rearrange furniture and change rooms up. Keeps it looking new and fresh and its is fun for me. Alan has stopped being surprised hahaha but he doesnt mind and he actually gives me advice and input when i ask for ideas on how things would look. I appreciate that most guys dont care im glad he does.

So far i think i have everything i need for the baby i got almost everything at yard sales this summer saved SO much money $$$ i have two dressers full of clothes for him just need more newborn clothes and socks. I have bath stuff that i need now i think, and all the little stuff like a soft brush for his head lotions and all that stuff. But that is easy to come by. Im going to have a Halloween baby shower this time after he is born im excited for that. Since i was able to get most of what i need i decided to wait till he gets here then everyone who comes can hold him. Who knows maybe if i do that this time ppl will actually show up! Nobody came to kaitlyns and i was super sad and there was family drama with the ppl that were there OF COURSE! But not this time they will be asked to leave if they cant behave themselves!!! I hope baby Mason comes soon and safley and i hope he is as easy as katie was but i know that probably wont happen but that's ok im ready. Im not scared to give birth this time, i was with katie but now i know mostly what to expect and i know that i am capable of having a natural birth since i have done it before. I have more confidence i guess you could say in my ability to have the baby the way i really want to.
