| 41 Weeks! |
So it was almost a week past my due date, and I was starting to think he’d never want to come out.
Ryan and I tried one final attempt at getting him out: SPICY food!
We cleared out the Mexican aisle at the grocery store and endured a spicy hot taco feast!
I also ate some jalapeno olive things, those were HOTTT !
That night I spent every hour up for bathroom breaks and just felt like crap.
At 5AM I was awake and starting my journey of labor.
I downloaded a Labor & Contractions application for my iPhone – and by 11am they were about 3 minutes apart, lasting over a minute each.
THANKFULLY Ryan headed home in time to bring me to the hospital.
After a few hours at the hospital, and only 2cm dilated they sent us home.
So after being sent home around 3pm – that’s when intense active labor started.
Right after leaving the hospital I got sick on the side of the road 3 times and could barely even talk..hello painful contractions!
By the time we got home, the contractions were non-stop and I was still getting sick.
Ry made me call the doctor and they said to head back to the hospital.
We got back there around 5:30pm and through some confusion of a few nurses – was forgotten & left in the room for 40 MINUTES!
Once they finally got there, I was already 7-8cm.

They rushed me into a delivery room and within 15 minutes was FULLY dilated.
No drugs allowed at that point and it was time to GO !
I gave birth on a “birthing stool” and Ryan was really involved, holding me from behind.
After 7 or so pushes – our little man was out !
I literally got to pull him up onto us…sounds a little crazy, but it was so amazing !!!
Everything turned out perfect and little Mason John arrive on February 9
th at 7:02pm.
He was 7lbs, 10oz and 21”.
The journey to motherhood was really fascinating and for me, was a great pregnancy.
The labor was tiring, but we were thankful for a quick
and HEALTHY delivery .
Welcome Baby Mason!!!
To all…meet our little man, perfect in a bijillion million ways !!!
