Mason Daniel

This is my absolute favorite picture!

I'm a bit behind in posting but for good reason. Baby boy was born on May 20th at 11:14 pm. He was 7 lbs 6oz and 20 inches long. I think he was a little upset to leave his warm home because he whimpered the whole night and the nurses kept thinking he couldn't breathe but his oxygen levels were at 98%. His name is Mason Daniel Murdock. I had a natural delivery with a midwife which I was very grateful to have had someone so knowledgeable helping me out this time even though she was probably frustrated with me because I didn't want to go to the hospital after finding out I was in labor from my appointment that morning. Just didn't feel like being in pain that night. So I made a deal with her that I would meet her later that evening at 8:00 and it proved to be good because I was dilated to a 7 by then and had done most of the work already. This past week has been crazy anywhere from Mason being under special lights for his jaundice, multiple doctor appointments to check his billirubin levels, to ridiculously high fevers from nursing. I'll just say I wouldn't have made it if my sweet mother in law wasn't here to help me so thank you Sylvia. Mason has hair on his head that Matt likes to comb and part. We haven't quite figured out who he resembles yet but he definitely has Matt's folded ears. He hates getting his diaper changed and is very patient when his sisters kiss and maul him. He is indeed very loved.
