The first few weeks of Mason's life I was focusing my attention on getting Mason home, and I wasn't able to blog those first three weeks. So, this is my attempt to catch up a little bit.
This is one of the first pictures I saw of Mason, and I immediately fell in love all over again. I wanted to hold him sooo bad, but since I was given magnesium sulfate at delivery I had to be monitored at least 24 hours after he was born, and couldn't go to the NICU to see him.
In this picture without his hat on he almost looks like a full term baby. Look at those squishy cheeks.
This was the first time that I got to see Mason in the NICU after he was born. It was about 27 hours after his birth. It feels kind of awkward going in to see your baby when others have already had their cuddle and love time. They've kissed him, changed first diapers, and swaddled him. They've told him they love him. All the things I had been longing to do the whole pregnancy.
This is my favorite hat he wore in the NICU. Don't you wish you could kiss those soft cheeks? I just love them.
Nana came for Mason's birth, and stayed for 9 days. She had to go back home on the day he was released from the hospital.
Dad tucking "mister" in for the night. I tried to make all of Mason's daytime feeds. It was hard, but with my mom and Casey's help I was able to do it. 
Nana trying to get Mason to take his bottle. I would nurse him, and Nana would top him off with the bottle.
Mason's cool little birth mark. Every day the nurses would ask me if it was a birth mark, because it looked like a bruise. Since he was born it has faded quite a bit, but you can still see it. :)

I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you to wait 27 hours to get to go see Mason, when waiting 9 months is hard enough. He is so adorable! And I love his little white hat.
