Our precious baby boy arrived Monday night at 8:14 p.m. He weighs 8 lb. 2 oz. and is 20 1/2” long. He is absolutely perfect.
Alex was a trooper. She was in labor for 17 hours and pushed the last two with the epidural turned completely off! Right before taking her for a C-section, they offered to use the vacuum. Thankfully, it worked, but baby Mason has a big, red puffy spot with blisters on his precious noggin"’ from the suction. The pediatrician doesn’t seem overly concerned about it.
Alex had a fever during the last 8 hours of labor and has been on an IV antibiotic drip.
I am so thankful for his safe arrival.
I am so in love!!!
He is such a cuddle bug!
Alex is going to be a good mommy!
Wednesday update:
Mason just came back from having a circumcision. It went well…he is glad it’s over!!!!
Alex will be released tonight at 9:00 p.m. She has to stay on the IV antibiotics for a full 48 hours. All three of us will be glad to get home.
Papa is on his way to meet his grandson. I can’t wait to see them together.
God is so good!
