And...He Has Arrived!









Meet Mason Christopher.

Mason was born on May 31st at exactly 3:15 pm.

He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long.

His Daddy?

Arrived back from deployment a mere 3 hours before Mason was born.

Talk about cutting it close, right?

Mason is perfect in every way. Great nurser. Super cuddly. Super sleeper.

I am in love. As in lovelovelove.

He has stolen my heart (which I knew he would!).

This pregnancy was the hardest out of all of them--and for that reason, I am now retiring my uterus.

Hoping now that Leo is home and Mason has arrived that I will have more time to blog--or to at least catch up on reading my favorite blogs.

xoxo

The Big 3+0 and a Belly Pic (33 weeks and a day)


I remember when I hit 20. And I loved my 20's.


The good.


The bad.


And everything in between.


Here are a few highlights from my 20's:


*Joined the Air Force at 21


*Met my husband


*Married my husband


*Went to Iraq


*Survived my tour in Iraq


*Got pregnant, but the baby passed away a few weeks later


*Moved to Turkey for 2 years


*Got pregnant with Isabella


*Left the Air Force at 27 to be a stay at home momma


*Moved to Mississippi


*Bought our first home


*Had my lovely daughter, Isabella


*Got pregnant with Madelyn


*******


I'm not sure how my 30's will compete with all of that--but I do know that my 30's will be amazing. I've grown so much, learned so much and best of all?


I am a wife and a mother. Just saying those two things takes my breath away. I am incredibly lucky to have a great family.


So, good bye 20's....and hello 30's!

33 weeks and a day!

Notice the lack of wedding rings--the lovely swelling has officially begun!

The Final Countdown! And a Couple of Randoms Thrown in...

I had my 32 week check up today and it went wonderfully! Madelyn is still kicking around and her heartbeat was in the 150's.

I also get another ultrasound--yay!

They want to make sure she isn't too small due to me being on Advair to control my out of control asthma. They reassured me that she more than likely is growing accurately, but it's just a precautionary measure in case she is on the smaller side.

After my appointment was over I scheduled my next appointment...it's in early July...and after that? I go in every single week! I can't believe it's this close to her due date. Unbelievable!

**********

This afternoon after our Isabella's nap we decided to wash all of Madelyn's (that is how we've decided to spell it...too cute!) bottles, towels, washcloths, bibs.

As I was taking out the new towels (which are adorable--got 'em at Target and they are too cute for words!) Isabella took one look and said, "PRETTY!" with so much heart. It totally melted this momma's heart.

**********

Isabella loves my dad--she calls him Papa and always wants to see pics of him--whether on our fridge or our wedding pictures.

She has now discovered a little flip album that we have with some pictures from a few years ago.

She flips through it and says, "Papa, papa, papa" and looks at all of his pics.

What can I say--he was the first person that ever got her to laugh! He is a pretty funny guy *smile*

**********

And one last bit of random...and this has really bugged me. Maybe it's my hormones, but nonetheless...

Last week I got a text message from a girl I knew in Turkey. I have never hung out with her here in Mississippi and we never hung out in Turkey. I just knew her. Nothing more.

She asked me if Leo had told me about her baby shower.

Um, no...and when did the invites go out? Did I miss something?

She told me she e-mailed him with the info on Monday (this was Wed or Thurs I think)....I wanted to tell her that he is extremely busy at work and doesn't have time to go over e-mails that often that aren't work related.

Anyway, I told her we had plans so I didn't think I could make it. I even wrote her on Facebook to tell her.

I didn't hear anything back from her. I assumed she was mad or didn't really care if I went. I mean, after all, it's not like we HAVE EVER HUNG OUT!! And it really ticked me off that she has never asked me to do anything, but all of a sudden she's having this baby shower and wants me to attend? For what? A free freaking gift?! I don't think so. I have my own toddler and baby on the way thankyouverymuch.

So, after my appointment today I'm driving home and here my text alert. I waited until I got home to see who it was.

Guess who.

It. was. her.

She asked me what happened, that it made her "sad" I didn't go.

I told her, listen, we had family plans. I told her via text and Facebook. I had a bad week last week--the last thing I wanted to do was talk to someone who doesn't really want to be my friend (I didn't tell her that last part...but I was tempted to tell her exactly what I thought of her).

She then keeps texting me. I kept telling her I was sorry. But really?! What did she expect?!

She then called me a punk a$$--although she put "lol" after it. Wow. Sooo funny. Really.

And she then made her point that "only 5 people bothered to show up and it really hurt her feelings".

At this point I wanted to tell her, at least you got a shower!!! I'm not getting a shower and you don't see me sending out a last minute e-mail to people I knew of in another country but never hang out with.

Sorry that was so long. She just really got under my skin. I can't stand fake people. I can't stand people who use me. And I can't stand it when someone pretends to be my friend so I'll do something which benefits them.

That's all for now....

Oh-one more thing!

I need to start thinking of what kind of birthday cake I want for my 21st 30th birthday on Sunday. Any yummy suggestions out there? Chocolate now gives me heartburn. It's very tragic! So anything besides chocolate out there?

Anything?
