We are Young

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.

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 ...

We had the pleasure of working with Stacy again with Stacy Mize Photography for our maternity photos.  We couldn't be happier with them and are so thrilled to announce baby's name! 

My love for pizza has far surpassed anything that I could have imagined during this pregnancy.  I wouldn't call it a craving because it has taken on more than that.  If it wasn't for poor Mike I'd probably be eating pizza every day. 

Bump Updates for 28 and 30 weeks.  Anxiously approaching 32 weeks and waiting to get past the point when we lost Madison has been very emotional.  I'm doing my best not to dwell on the weeks but it is hard not to relive this time during my last pregnancy. 

It has become a holiday tradition to have our God-daughters and their mom and dad over for Christmas Dinner. We haven't been as involved in their lives as we would have liked over this past year, but we would never miss a Christmas without seeing these girls and spoiling them rotten! Mike and I love watching them grow as they turn into beautiful ladies. 

We are Young.: One Day at a Time : Grieving... it is sometimes described as a "roller coaster" but there are no words to describe the roller coaster that I am on.  ...
