Mason has arrived!





I was awakened at 5 this morning with a call for a birth. It was going to be a quick one and one of the midwives was going to come pick me up in 5 minutes. I quickly got ready and we rushed outside of town to witness the miracle of birth. Mason made is grand entrance about 5 minutes after two of us got there (one midwife had gone ahead while we got the birth kit. . .) He was born after only 44 minutes of labor and was 10lbs 4 ounces! He's so cute! His mommy did a magnificent job and is definately a professional. Mason Bryant was happy to meet all 6 of his siblings, his parents, and of course his midwives.
I don't have any pics from today with me in them. :( Enjoy these though!

clean blouse, eh? babies love those kind of things. she is begging to get spit up on. babies should be held at a distance. amazing, when they spit up it's like...oh no! babies are not full of surprises, they are full of other matter that comes out the moment you get cozy and cooy.

LOL!!! That's hillarious! The other night we had another baby born and left his diaper off of him for several hours by accident. Aparently we put it on just in time because about an hour later he had filled the diaper with the gooey tary meconium! At least that stuff lacks smell.

You have to watch out for those cute smiles too. :)

Just what are you doing up at this hour??? I slept all day so sleep isn't seeming very near for me! I'm hoping someone will have a baby tonight since I'm already up!
