{mason}
if you think this mommy's hands are full you should see her heart
yet another reason why i consider myself so lucky. mason was born a few hours after turning 23 weeks on july 30, 2009. for those of you not in the NICU world....that is sooooo extremely early. a typical pregnancy lasts around 37-40 weeks. just remember this as you scroll through these photos how much of a miracle mason is. i remember when he was born and i was caring for him and watching his sisters come and visit him in the NICU when he was so fragile and sick. he immediately had 4 mommies. could he be any luckier? his 3 older sisters were so protective and loving over him from the beginning which helped him grow into the handsome sweet little man that he is. it is so rewarding to watch the dynamic between the girls and mason. they are not only beautiful girls but so helpful to their mommy who is also a great friend and a fellow nurse! mason is an expert crawler who is learning how to walk but most importantly he is beginning to really learn to express his wants and needs!
