Snug as a bug in a rug

The Newest Nelson

CUTIE PIE! This picture is Emily's favorite. She says he is sticking out his tounge. I think it was just some gas. We are all adjusting to having Mason around. Jacob and Emily are great with him.They both want to help all the time. Jacob doesen't like to hear him cry though.He says it hurts him. I'm not sure if he means hurts Mason or him.
Mason is a healthy eater, every two hours. I'm sure he'll plump up in no time. He has a check up on Valentines Day. We'll see how much he has gained. He is just a perfect little guy.He has blonde hair with a little bit of red tint and blue eyes, we think, they are still changing. We love him very much.

Mason Thomas Nelson

He's fianlly here! Mason was born on Saturday January 27, 2007 at 5:23 am. He weighed 7lbs and 8 ozs 20 1/2 inches long. My water broke around 10:40 pm on Friday night. So we went to the hospital. They gave me pitocin because my contractions were not regular. By the time it was time to push I was so exausted, having no sleep. I pushed for 20 minutes but it seemed longer. I didn't want to push because I was so tired. But he made it into the world with no trouble. Happy and healthy! As for me I'm still recovering. Trying to catch up on some of the lost sleep.I know it's gone forever but having Mason here makes it all worth it!

The Home Strech

I'm down to the the final four.YEAH! The last four weeks of my pregnancy,as long as I don't go past my due date.(Feb.7)
Things are going well. I have gained 28-30 lbs so far. I'm at the hospital about three times a week. Once for my weekly appt. and twice a week for nonstress tests, just a precaution because of my gestational diabetes.As for that I'm still on a strick diet and also taking glyburide. It's an oral medication to help regulate my blood sugar levels.My doctor assures me it is a safe medication. It is an alternative to insulin shots. Mason is active, as he should be and my amniotic fluid is good. We are just waiting for him to make his debut. We are all excited but I'm more anxious.I've been getting all of Mason things in order. Trying to be prepared for when he decides to arrive. I just hope it's soon!
