Mason Bradley arrived on January 26th at 4:01am at United Hospital in St Paul (although he almost arrived at home but I will save the birth story for another post)! He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is perfect. We had a very short stay in the hospital (checked in and back out within 36 hours) and are already back home enjoying our first couple days as a family of four. Mason is a very good baby, hardly ever cries and is already adjusting to sleeping in his crib in his own room! We of course will be working on a routine over the next week but the first night went pretty good so no complaining from Mommy and Daddy. Colton loves having a baby brother and wants to help with everything although diaper changes he just wants to watch, he says he doesn't want to help with those. Tonight I decided to pump instead of breastfeed so that Colton could feed Mason his bedtime feeding - Colton has been asking to feed him since the first day and it was so hard to tell him that only Mommy can do that. So I gave it and we have already introduced a bottle... hoping I don't totally regret that decision later (but for now Mason seems to be just fine with bouncing back and forth). We are looking forward to more visitors this weekend... with the hospital stay so short we have had very few visitors and we are anxious to show off our newest addition! Here are few pictures from the hospital and our first day at home.... there will be many many more pictures over the next couple weeks!
