He’s here!

My Life

Henry Martin Mason, originally uploaded by MaggieMason.

Hey everybody, we had a baby! A tiny, pink baby!

His name is Henry Martin Mason, but you can call him Hank.

I went into labor February 11 at 2 a.m., and he was born around noon that day — 8 lbs. 2 oz., and 21 inches long. I had a really good labor, and as you can see, he’s pretty much the sweetest baby ever.

I’ll tell you more later, after we’re a little less dazed. For now, thanks for all the happy wishes and strong support throughout my pregnancy. I can’t tell you how much I’ve appreciated you guys in the past few months.

Hank is one exceptional baby, and I wish you could snuggle him. He even smells soft.

  2. Congrats to the both of you! What an adorable little guy! ::sighs:: Aren’t baby toes just the cutest things on the planet? They are like puppies wrapped in giggles with baby ducks on top.

  6. A belated congratulations! Glad to hear your L&D went smoothly. Good luck with breastfeeding, sleeping, adjusting, and all of that good stuff. Let the fun begin.

    I think you’ll find that exploring The City with baby (then toddler) in tow will introduce you to all kinds of things you never before knew existed. e.g., The new Westfield mall has a great family room for breastfeeding and/or relaxing with a whole row of changing tables and dads are okay to be in there, too. Just a tip!

    Have fun!

  27. he is cute…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hello Hank..

    The Japanese people say, 97% of the world map marks’ Sea of Japan ‘ so give up. But Korean people say, 3% of the world map marks ‘ East Sea’so we will start arguing. It doesn’t take even 20 seconds to turn this. Just sacrifice a little time. Let’s show the power of the Korean netizen to Japan
