1 month

My main squeeze is a month old. How did this happen so fast? He has been such a great baby. He usually goes to bed around 9, wakes up at 1 am and then again between 5-6am. Spencer has been such a great help as well. He wakes up in the middle of the night with me and feeds Easton while I pump. This way we are only up for 20 minutes and then back to sleep. He had his check up this morning and weighed in at 10 lbs 11 oz (2 pound weight gain since birth) and 22" long (1 1/2" taller than birth). 

 The thing I'm most happy about is how well Vivian has taken to her little brother. When she wakes up in the morning she runs around looking for him, when she gets home from school she runs around looking for him. She loves to give him kisses and sing to him. She is really shaping up to be a great big sister. 

Bonus for all of us is Vivian is pretty much potty trained. She only wears a diaper at night now. Just before Easton was born she would pee on the potty but not poop which was super frustrating and messy. After he came home from the hospital she decided on her own to start pooping in the potty. I knew it would dramatically improve or get worse and I'm so glad it has turned out the way it has.

I think he is frustrated with us more than we are with him. 

They love each other

He's here!!

So it has taken me a while to post but Easton Mason is finally here. He is absolutely perfect. Planning his arrival was a little tricky. We decided to induce a few days early because my doctor and I were trying to avoid a 9pound baby. His due date was the 15th of September and the week before had two dates I would rather he not be born on. The first was September 11th for obvious reasons and the second was Friday the 13th (too many things could go wrong on this date). We decided to go in on the 11th to start the induction with the hopes he would arrive sometime Thursday morning. Spencer just wanted him to arrive before 6:30 pm so he could watch the Tech/TCU game (boys and their priorities). The time kept passing and I still wasn't dialating. My doctor checked me at 4:30 and there hadn't been much progression. She said she would be back at 9pm to check again. Spencer was getting ansy and I was done laying in bed. Then at 5:50pm I told the nurse I felt a little pressure down below and she checked and felt his head. She called my doctor to come back right away. I pushed through two contractions and he was here at 6:12pm. Spencer was so overwhelmed with excitement of Easton's arrival that he missed the first Tech touchdown.  

He has been such a blessing to our family. Vivian adores him and wants to be near him all the time.
