My first thought, is THANK YOU God for choosing ME to be Mason Kyle Hejl's Mommy! What an honor, pleasure, and joy it is. Matthew and I are beyond grateful for him and the happiness he brings to our life. I often ask Matt, and in fact did so yesterday... "What did we ever do to deserve this" We are blessed, truly BLESSED!
5 years ago (and 9 months)... I remember as if it was happening right now. I had taken a pregnancy test at home by myself while Matt was at work... If you know me, you know that I CANNOT wait for anything... :) So, positive it was... I cried, I called Matt, my mom, Matt's mom & my grandpa.
Pregnancy for me was NO Fun. Although I miss it terribly! With Mason I was sick in the evenings for about 6 months or so, some days better than others. I worked in the ER at the time and getting sick in Hospital bathrooms was not the best part of my day. :)
At about 7 months into my pregnancy I woke up with some lower back pain only on my right side. Later that day my pregnancy would only get worse. The Dr's believed that I had a kidney stone, and that a Stint would need to be placed to help the flow of my Urine from Kidney's to bladder, by way of the Ureter. That my friends is NO FUN. So, off to sleep I went and woke up with a spaghetti size tube in me that would cause problems I didn't know existed. Six weeks later from this date I had to have that one removed and another put in. So off to sleep I went again, and woke up with a brand new tube. Bah Humbug I tell you!!!

I checked into the Hospital to have some girly things done that would get me ready for an induction the next day. I can remember begging, in tears, for an induction. I was seeing a NP on my last visit and she went to check with the Dr if it was possible, and came back and said, "He said it was fine, but the only day he has is Halloween" my response... "SOUNDS GREAT"... At this point, anything was fine.

Induction started bright and early - 6ish I think, Water broke about 8amish by the Dr., go time (pushing) at about 3pm, and in into this world at 3:18pm was my sweet, sweet son. Mason Kyle Hejl. 8lbs 14oz, 20.5 inches long, and a big ol' head ... He was Ours... 
Boy has time really gone by fast... too fast. If was not considered child abuse I would sit on him! He is his own person that's for sure. I say he definitely has a little "Hejl" in him. He sure loves his mommy and daddy, and shows us love so unconditional it makes me wish the world loved like children.
He adores us, and we absolutely Adore HIM!
