Mason Turns 5

Today my baby turns 5 years old. I can't believe how fast the years have flown by. It seems like yesterday that my Dr. told me I would need to check into the hospital at midnight to be induced because I wasn't even dilated at 2 weeks after my due date.

I remember at this point I was covered in hives because I was so nervous about the big day. My whole body itched and I was just ready. Ready to welcome Mason into the world. Little did I know that it would be almost 27 hours later before that would actually happen.

He was born via C-Section shortly after 2am on May 6th. All 10lbs and 11oz. of him. And even though there were a few surprises that came along with his birth, I still stand by the fact the he is, hands down, the best thing that has ever happened to me.

And now every second is a blessing with him. He reminds me how to laugh everyday and even though he makes want to tear my hair out sometimes, he has taught me so many things about life and how to love someone unconditionally.

Happy Birthday Mason. I hope all your wishes come true.
