Here’s a picture update (the Pics page has all of these as well):

We have made a few changes to the site. Reid’s stats have been added to the baby info tab. The big change we have made is that all of the pictures we have taken are viewable on the Pics tab. It links directly to our Picasa web album. You’ll also notice that the website is now called “Mason and Reid Scott.” Matt is working on a new design for the site….it’s coming but couldn’t tell you when. It’s amazing how there is less time to do things with two kids.

So they do make tuxes for toddlers. Here is Mason sporting a full out tux. I mean it’s even the right material and the cut is nice too.

Watch out girls. Here comes Mason Bond!

Today marks the day of a new era in this little growing Scott family. Reid Matthew was born today June 4, 2009 at Valley Medical Center at 6:22am. He weighs in at 7 lbs 1 oz and 18.7 in long. His hair is dark and eye color is indeterminent at this point.

Birth Story:

Around 10:45pm June 3, 2009, Diane woke up with minor contractions at 6 to 8 minute intervals. By 11:30am, we were sure Reid was coming. So, we called Tyler and Tracia to come get Mason so we could head to the hospital. Diane and I got everything together and got ourselves ready. All the while, the contractions were getting more intense and closer in interval.

We headed to the hospital around 2:30am and got there around 3:00am. We were admitted to Triage to make sure Diane was in actual labor and unfortunately they didn’t buy it at her 4.5cm dilation. When Diane laid down and had the monitors hooked up to her, the contractions became irregular. So, they told us to walk around the hospital for 45min. Of course as soon as she walks around, the contractions hit with ferocity and in higher frequency.

We got back to the room to hook the monitors up again and she checked in at 6.5cm and 80% efaced. Now they were buying it and got a room arranged for the birth. Unfortunately, Diane’s OB Dr. Webb wasn’t on call at the time. Diane was excited to have her OB deliver her and we were 2 hours too early for her shift, so we were assigned Dr. Channell (whom Diane liked very well). Dr. Channell was very sure this would be a quick labor but advised us that any pain killer would slow the process. She gave the choice of breaking her water or initiating pain killers through an IV. She asked this of Diane at the peak of a contraction mind you. Diane and I decided to let her go ahead and break the water which sent Diane in to full labor very quickly. It took about 15 to 20 more minutes past that for the time to push, so there was no time to introduce any pain killer. Diane was taking the pain head on.

After about 3 sets of 3 good pushes Reid was in the right position and ready to come out. So Diane was in full push mode and the OB told her to push as hard and as often as she could. Another 4 or 5 and on the 5th push, she about squeezed my arm off, and Reid came in to the world.

So, we were admitted at 3am and delivered Reid at 6:22am with no drugs or epidural. Diane is a stud.

I am officially 37 weeks pregnant. These are unchartered waters since Mason was born at 36 weeks. So, even though I actually have 3 weeks left until my due date I already feel overdue! We are hanging in there-everything is ready for Reid and we are still working on Mason’s car in his room. The detail work is coming along slowly but surely.

I really want to have a May baby….but the days are running out for that to happen. I guess we’ll see. Mason was a  7 lb baby at 36 weeks. If Reid hangs out too much longer I’m afraid how much he is going to weigh!

We had a very nice weekend with lots of sunshine and warm weather. Mason was able to get out and enjoy the days with his BFF Amy-Lynn. Here are some pics of the two of them swimming.

This was Saturday swimming. Mason was soo cold in just the shorts so we ended up putting a sweatshirt and sweatpants on him because he didn’t want to get out of the water!

And here is a picture of what kept happening in this outfit….he’s got a pretty cute little tushy!

This was Sunday swimming. We were better prepared for swimming and Mason stayed warmer in this outfit. He was still shivering by the end of it though.

Cute Mason story: Saturday and Sunday mornings are the only times where we get to “sleep in.” I put it in quotes because 6 am is sleeping in for us. Mason usually wakes up around 6 and will sometimes play in his crib for awhile before wanting out. He knows that when he wants to get up he just has to call out “Momma” and “Dadda” and that is our cue to come get him. This is really nice because he doesn’t usually cry unless we take too long to get there….not sure how the routine started, but it works for us! This past Sunday though he did something a little different. Sometimes if Matt is trying to get Mason’s attention and he isn’t listening too well, Matt will whistle and call for Mason and that usually will get his attention (I can’t whistle so this doesn’t work for me.) Well, Sunday morning Mason pretended to whistle and called out “Dadda.” It was the cutest thing and Matt and I both laughed-he is picking up so much so quickly and it is so much fun to watch him grow and learn.

This isn’t the finished product but here is what we have so far:

The other walls are painted this color green. We will also be filling in the area around the car in this green.

Mason and Matt are both hard at work drawing out all of the details of the Indy car.

And now that the drawing is done, they get to work painting!

Mason’s Indy Car wall!! There are still lots of details to add to the car-numbers, names, etc. but the main part of it is done. Matt is a great artist, don’t you think?

On a different note-I am currently 34 weeks pregnant. We are basically ready for Reid to arrive, which is a good thing since I had Mason at the 36 week mark in my pregnancy. I can’t believe he could be here in two weeks!!

Here a few great pictures of Matt and Mason together. Mason thinks his dad is pretty cool.

So a friend of ours, due to space constraints, couldn’t use this awesome Thomas the Train engine toy. After a year of it sitting in our spare bedroom, we got a battery charger for it. Now, this is Mason’s first ride. He can ride on this for hours and not care about the never-changing scenery.

Give him a football and he’ll start running around and throwing like a little QB. He’s also got music on the brain all the time. All you have to do is ask him to sing, and he may throw in a little dance with it. Mason is just too much fun.
