We are so excited to finally have Mason here. He was born Monday morning, August 23rd, at the first stroke of midnight. It was a bit of a rough day leading up (with 2 trips to the hospital), but such a relief to be done with the ordeal. We didn't quite expect such a big guy, clearly our biggest at 10lbs, 12oz! They measured him at 21 1/2 inches long, with a 15 inch head. Did I mention I didn't have an epidural? Yeah... enough said.
And the boys were excited to meet their new brother. Jensen is still concerned when he hears Mason crying, but I think he'll be a good helper. Here he is trying to give Mason his paci.
Carson was happy to meet him, too. (But honestly, I think he was more excited about the trains that he and Jensen got as a gift from his new baby brother.) :)
And this is our family all together. I cringe to post this picture, as it is not so flattering of me, but try to ignore how unbelievably swollen I am, and enjoy the cute guys surrounding me.

Steph- I didn't get the epidural because I knew it would make my delivery more efficient and my recovery better. I feel great now, even though labor was truly horrible!

He's got some serious c heeks on him. What a cutie, and Maren, you are The Woman! Wow!

Congrats! He is a cutie and Maren you should get a medal! I can't believe you didn't have an epidural. I am glad you are all doing well and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
You're one tough mama! Congrats and I can't wait to meet Mason! So cute!
Wow, you are an amazing mama!! Congratulations. Cute family and you look great for just pushing out a baby!!! Such a blessing!
I had an epidural not work, but that baby was only 6.6. I cannot begin to imagine an almost 11 pounder. Wow. He is adorable. I bet his newborn pics will be awesome with all that chunkiness to show off! Congratulations! I am in awe.
Congratulations! He looks like he's already more than half Jensen's size!
Congrats! You are Wonder Woman! I don't think I could deliver a 10 pound baby without an epidural.
Love the name Mason, it goes well with the other boy's names too. Hope everyone is adjusting well!
