Brand New




Weight/Height: Coming home from the hospital Mason was 6 pounds 8 oz. 19.25 inches

Hair & Eyes: Dark brown/Black hair, hairline is just like Daddy's with a cute little widow's peak

Diapers: Newborn or 1's folded over in the front going through 10-12 a day

Clothes: Newborn, which I had little of... thankfully Aunt Jackie had a few outfits on hand from cousin Bryson that we were able to borrow.

Eating: Breastfeeding, pumping and supplementing  formula every 2 hours during the 1st 2 weeks, vomiting almost after every feeding which landed us at CHOA since your weight dropped 5 oz in the 1st two weeks. After switching to Similac sensitive and giving Zantac twice a day you are keeping down formula. At two weeks you started taking 2.5-3 oz of formula every 3-4 hours.

Sleeping: Varies, you can sleep for 2 hours or 4-5 hours through the night. (Which we prefer!) During the day naps last from 1-2 hours between feedings.

Due Date

Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world. When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant.  For us January 10, 2013 is that date. There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been.  January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I...

I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...

Mason's Birth Story

March 13, 2014: Even though we knew that I was going in at 5:00 am the next morning for a scheduled c-section, the day couldn't come fast enough. It had been a long nine months and we could not wait to meet our baby boy. The night before the big day, Mike and I ate an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse since we knew it was going to be the last good "going out to dinner" we would have in a few days, or possibly weeks. We went home, packed for the hospital, loaded the car and tried to relax. We got a few hours of sleep the night before, maybe 2-3 to be exact but we were running on adrenaline at that point. March 14, 2014, 3:30 am: The morning the alarms rang loud and clear! Time to go. We hopped in the car and drove straight to Northside Hospital, check in was a breeze and before we knew it I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for surgery.  The time flew by, right up until 7:00am when it was time for the epidural. After a very long hour of testing for numbness it was ...
