It's a boy!!!!!

Last night I had the wonderful pleasure of becoming an aunt. This will be the last time for me since Tim and Katie have decided that 2 kids will be enough for them and Jason's brother and his wife have also decided that they are done having kids. So, I relished every minute of the experience and was overjoyed when Tim came in and said that they had a boy. Mason Timothy Lingle joined the family last night (Sept. 27) just before 9pm. He weighed 7lbs 10ozs and is PRESCIOUS! He has the palest blonde/white eyelashes that are so sweet and his full head of hair is dark but has tons of golden streaks throughout it. Mom says that Tim's hair was like that when he was born and Tim always had pale blonde hair as a child so maybe Mason will be a little blondie too. Katie and Mason were both doing well after the delivery and Katie was pretty tired and ready for bed when I left the hospital last night. Hopefully she was able to get a good nights rest. I'm going to try to get to the hospital for a little bit today to see everyone again. I only have a small window of time between when Jenevieve gets out of school and when I have to pick Kyle up from school and I know that I'll wish I could stay longer at the hospital but a little time there is better than none. :)

Kyle's been fighting that bad cold bug that's going around so unfortunatley I can't take him to meet his new cousin yet. Which is hard because Kyle keeps asking when I'm going to take him to the hospital to see the baby. Oh, and when I told the kids this morning that they have a new baby cousin and that it's a boy Jenevieve started crying and said, "But I wanted a girl baby." LOL As the only girl in our neighborhood of 6 boys I think Jenevieve is always wanting more girls around to even out the score a bit.

I'm going to post some of the pictures from last night. Tim took the ones of Mason right after delivery. I thought he did a pretty good job. The rest were taken after Katie was in her recovery room and we were all able to come in and meet Mason. Julia is just thrilled with him and is going to be a great big sister. She was walking around with the hand sanatizer telling each adult who's turn it was to hold her baby brother. Too cute!
