Our first family picture as a six-pack
The boys as they greet Mason at home, I am so blessed to have FOUR precious boys!
I am She-rah, Princess of Power! Ha ha, not really. But I did just give birth naturally for the fourth time... so isn't that kinda the same thing? lol.
Mason (finally) joined the family on June 4th at 4:40 in the morning. He weighed 7lb 15 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He was my biggest baby! He came awful fast, we didn't even make it to ANMC in Anchorage. We had to detour to the Valley Hospital here in Wasilla and luckily so. By the time we walked in the ER door, I was already at 8cm and not too far from already being done with the whole process! Being six days late, I couldn't have been happier to finally hold our baby in my arms. He is such a sweetheart. His brothers are absolutely in love with him (as is everyone else). It is just hard to believe that Tysen is a "big brother" now and not my baby. He seemed to grow overnight and seemed like such a big brother when he came to greet his brother. My grandma was still here from Albuquerque and got to be here for the birth so that was awesome. We were surrounded by all our family and Mason got a proper welcoming Sunday after church with everyone here at the house. The home health care nurse came to the house today and he already weighs 8lbs, 4oz so I dont' think we need to worry about him eating or anything! :) We are settling into our groove but Phillip is still very busy with our hydroseeding business. I am just glad it is summer and there is no school, babysitting etc to worry about. I look forward to this summer with our family..... our family of SIX!!!!!

He's a cutie! I can't decide who he looks like but babies change every day. You are She-Rah to me, I've never given birth (not that c-sections are any fun) and I'm still terrified of the experience. I can't believe you've got four little boys. Like I said before, God wants you surrounded by men, whatever the age! So Miss Jennifer, are we complete in the kiddo department or are there plans for one more? I know, I'm awful for asking that now. As for me I'm still holding out for Monday and little Brandon will be here. This has been the slowest week ever. You look fantastic by the way! Keep the pics coming, I'll talk again soon. I love you all so much!!
Congratulations! And yes, definitely congratulate yourself, giving birth is a huge achievement, especially unmedicated. Hope you are getting lots of rest (is that possible with 4 kids? I'm having trouble with only 2) and help and enjoying your new little guy.
Many happy congratulations to you all! Indeed you are She-Rah, how amazing!! Sending love and hugs from Germany XO
