Alright, we did it!
Mason Kelly was born on Sept 10 at 3:07 pm. Janet's water had broken earlier in the morning and after dropping Maddie off at daycare and a short visit to the OB/Gyn, we were admitted to the hospital. This time no additional help was needed to get the process going and a little after 3pm Mason weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 14 oz. Like Maddie, he measured exactly 21 inches. Unlike Maddie who screamed for 2 hours straight after her delivery, Mason seemed quite happy and content in his new surroundings (or lack thereof). He seems to be a more "chill" baby.
Janet did really well and overall was very pleased with her experience which was so different from last time. Save for a lack of sleep she is recovering nicely.
Grandma and Grandaddy came up to take care of Maddie and she got to visit with her little brother for a while Thursday night. She was sooooo excited about the new baby and generally quite hyper and unruly.......a regular whirlwind in usual Maddie fashion. We hope the excitement lasts a long while before giving way to jealousy....we'll see.
We did have a bit of a tense night as Mason has some problems controlling his sugar levels and had to be taken to the special care nursery for some IV glucose. He seems to be doing well though and we hope that he will soon be able to join us in our room. Of course you do worry yourself sick over everything that might be not 100% with your baby.
Unfortunately I am not able to post pictures from the computer I am using here at the hospital so we will have to postpone that until we get home, which should be tomorrow.
Get better soon, Mason, so Maddie can smother you with big sister lovin'!
