Introducing...

Mason Dee Jaynes

February 25, 2010

8:45am

6 lbs. 10 oz. 20.5 inches

Proud Parents: Loren and Brandon

Mason is perfect as a button.

Loren was over 41 weeks, therefore; she had (2) doctor appointments this week, the second appointment- the stress test showed that his heart rate was being affected. The doctor instructed Loren to go straight to the hospital, as she would need to be induced. As soon as she got to the hospital, she started having major contractions on her own, they still gave her the petosin, and she was SLOWLY dilating for over 15 hours- that hospital was fantastic (BTW)- Prentice Women's Hospital (Northwestern) downtown. The rooms are like hotel rooms, and the doctors and nurses are amazing...they did everything they could to assist Loren with the dilating without ever having to result in a C-Section...(dilating is an "issue" for the ladies in our family- which is why both myself and my mom have had c-sections). Loren can definitely now brag about how effective acupuncture is as well, she's been going her entire pregnancy to do everything she can to not have to go down the same road her family has- and I really believe it paid off. After almost 24 hours in labor, Loren only needed to "push" for 15-minutes, and out came her beautiful baby boy...who we have been anxiously awaiting! Mason is beautiful and tiny as a button. Loren and Brandon are naturals ...and we are so excited to watch him grow up...with his big cousin, Jacob. Oh, my baby looks so big now...hmmm...a newborn in the Rojas family might not be so bad...just thinking, that is certainly not a hint, though- not right now)

Some Pictures to share~

-Mason and I- my throat started hurting last night, and the aches and pains started coming on, I was scared I was getting a little something; hence the mask. A little dramatic, I know...I didn't want to chance any germs on my new, perfect nephew)

-The nurse checking his blood sugar-Mason has a great grip- look at that!

Like Mother, Like Son- Loren is known to doze off with her mouth open, check out her son!

Look how big Mason's BIG COUSIN is already!!!! No longer the baby of the family:) Jacob and Mason are 17-months apart.
