Mason's 1st Easter

Mason was spoiled on his first holiday (Easter). He received 4 Easter baskets filled with goodies.  We spent the day at our house with lots of family. My Mom and Tom were still in town from NY. Kurts parents also came over for Easter dinner. We had ham and turkey and lots of good sides!  Below are some pics of Mason and his Easter baskets.

Mason also received a package from his Great Aunt Karen and Great Grandma Mastro.  They sent a TON of clothes and Aunt Karen sent a Jimmy Johnson toy.  This was Mason's first Nascar item and he was so excited about it. I didnt take pictures of all the clothes cause they are currently being washed!  Thanks to everyone for all the great gifts!!!!!

We had a great Easter with lots of family!  

Mason is here!!!!!

Now that we are all settled in at home, I figured it was time to update the blog! On April 7th, 2011 at 4:35pm Kurt and I welcomed a new addition to the family....Mason Jordan Johnson.  It all happened so fast we still cant believe he is already here. My due date was April 14th but Mason had different plans. Wednesday night at 10:30pm I started having contractions.  I didnt want to be that person that called the doctor every hour so I figured I would just try to get some sleep and call in the morning.  Well that was impossible.  I started timing them and they were only 5 minutes apart.  I still didnt believe it was the real thing since just on Tuesday morning the doctor said there was no change or progress.  As the night went on they got worse and I couldnt sleep.  I did laundry, took out the garbage and packed our bags in case we were at the hospital that night.  At 2:30am I called the doctor.  They told me to continue to monitor them and call back when the contractions were a minute to a minute and a half long and 3 minutes apart.  If things didnt progress they wanted me to still call at 8am when the office opened and make an appointment to see the doctor.  Well when I called at 8am they told me to go to the hospital.  This was a nightmare considering it was rush hour traffic!  I was still not in significant pain and was able to breathe through each contraction.  I dont think Kurt believed I was actually in labor.  He was convinced I had ZERO pain tolerance.  Well I showed him!!!!  When we finally got to the hospital sometime after 9am they told us that I was already 6cm dilated!  Neither of us could believe it! We were going to not only have a  baby that day but it was going to be sooner rather than later.  All in all labor was like my pregnancy......not as bad as I expected!  It was all worth it cause now I have the most beautiful little boy.....and yes he is little....6lbs 10 oz and 9 inches long.

Everyone told us to not be afraid to use the nursery at the hospital.  Well we kept Mason in the room with us the whole night both nights and he was great!  He hardly cried and only woke up to eat and went back to sleep.  That is the same way he is today.  He is such a great baby!

Saturday we finally made it home around 4pm.  We were welcomed by lots of family that were waiting for us at the house.  Mason has settled in just perfectly!  We just love him to pieces!!  Here are a few pictures of the little peanut.
