I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I know ours was extra special this year. I still have to take some pictures off our camera, but it seems that we are being inundated with visitors and having to go visit family. I don't mind at all, but I'm tired now! I can't even blame little Mason for this fatigue!

We're looking forward to a visit from Auntie Hella and Exile tomorrow! I wonder if Exile will bite the bullet and hold Mason?

In other news, Mason's "bebo" fell off yesterday. I was asked if I was going to keep it. That is nasty. No way jose! I can't believe 2 weeks has already passed...*sigh*

Typing with one hand takes a lot longer....

Wow..time really is flying by! I can't believe it's already the 23rd! Little Mason keeps us busy. That said, he's such a good boy. He hardly makes a peep. He wakes to eat then goes right back to sleep. I hope it continues this way! He's such a good snuggler. He gets right in there, sighs, and is down for the count. Like crazy new parents, we've been taking lots of pictures too.

We've had our worry this past week too. I knew something wasn't right, and at a Dr's appointment we had, the doctor confirmed that I needed to supplement with some formula because Mason was getting dehydrated. My milk hadn't come in yet and I was wondering how long this little one could go on colostrum. In any event, he's much better and I only had to supplement for about a day and a half. Really...who are we kidding? Once my milk came in, we were all set! Just look at the size of my guns...hehe

Here's a couple pics..just cuz I know Mackey is stalking. It makes us feel special :)

2 days old...this is the only thing that remotely fits! He's swimming in everything! We went out and bought preemie diapers and a couple sleepers! I know he'll grow fast though!

Snuggling with daddy...and yes we do actually put clothes on him!

After a bath :)

More soon!!

I'm a Mommy!

...and Hella owes Mackey some Timmies!

It's a boy!!

I'm alive and well and appreciated all the well wishes and thoughts being sent our way. I'll post again soon and probably overdue it with pictures too.
Love you all!

Man...I'm so in love with this little guy!!

Hey Mackey - Hella wants to bet you $10 in Timmies gift certificates that I'm having a girl. You game?!?!

Tomorrow's the day I guess...wowzers! I can't wait to share the news!!

So much to do, so little time.....

The good, the bad and the ugly...

Yeah..I'm not really sure what fits in where with that title, but I really don't give a rat's ass at this point.

I finally put some pictures up from one of the baby showers I had a couple weeks ago. I don't have any from the other ones though :( I'm hoping some of my loving friends will email me some soon!

I had a fall on Friday, but everything is okay. I went to be checked out to be sure. It's just a very sore tail bone and wrist now. As long as the little one is okay I don't care about anything else.

We've managed to finish 95% of our Christmas shopping, now if only I could get Mr. Sass to bring up the tree! Argh!

Here's a 9 and a half month picture of me, since some of you are quite relentless at asking for pictures! Sorry, Os, I have my clothes on (trust me, it's better that way!). We finally got a new camera yesterday too! Woo hoo! I can take pictures again!

I purposely didn't crop the 'undesirable' parts out, and I left Mr. Cooper in. He's always at my side anyway. Main points: I'm big and I've 'dropped'..and oh yeah...that's what my feet look like!

I'm still here and I'm still pregnant.

We've got quite a bit of snow lately and I'm secretly (maybe not so secretly) glad I can't be out there shoveling it. I did feel bad watching Mr. Sass spend over an hour digging us out, but what could I do except have a hot tea and a snack waiting for him when he came back in? After one big snow fall we were on our way out and noticed a few neighbours out. What struck us was that at several different houses along the street you could see abandoned snow blowers in the middle of clear driveways while several neighbours congregated at one house having a few beers in the garage. This was the case at several houses!

It's times like these that I'm proud to be Canadian!


*Maybe if Mr. Sass is good then Santa will bring him a snowblower and he too can join this club of drunken blowers.
