9.5 cm meant that it was "GO" time & things started to move real fast! They had paged the OB & in a matter of a few minutes, my cozy little room
turned into a delivery room. In wheeled the surgical table, out came
the stirrups, in came my OB & just like that I was instructed to
start pushing!
I got a little scared as things around us moved so quickly & I couldn't comprehend that in just a short time our little boy would be here. I looked over & saw that my hubby seemed to have that same "fearful" look on his face so I reached over, grabbed his hand & asked him if he was ready for this. He responded "hells yeah" (which is such a typical answer coming from him) & at that moment I knew it was all going to be ok.
I pushed for about 30 minutes & at 2:24 pm our little miracle - Mason James - arrived into this world! I think this picture pretty much sums up all the raw emotion I felt at that moment:
He weighed 7 lbs 4oz & was 20.5 inches long:
Proud Mommy with Mason:
And an even prouder Papa with his son:
We walked in to the hospital as a family of two & are leaving the hospital as a family of three & we couldn't be more in love with this little guy:
Like father like son:
I feel so very blessed to have had such an uneventful, fast, easy labor & my hubby was such a rockstar through it all! We can't wait to get Mason home & begin our new life as a family of three!

Congratulations!! He is Adorable. I remember when I had our first, the moment she came out I felt this warm sensation come over me. It was the moment I truly realized how much I loved this baby. And suddenly I also knew what the Lord feels for us. It was truly a life changing moment.
