Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital - HEB

I would definitely recommend the HEB hospital to everyone. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and very professional. Plus, the room and service were amazing.  We don't have any complaints and it seemed as if Mason enjoyed having the staff around as well.  From the prep, surgery, onto recovery, and into the post partum everyone was courteous.  I know after having a c-section, the hospital and its staff made Laura's stay a lot easier.

Mason's favorite nurse was Allyson and his favorite Tech was Angie.  All the nurses said he was the cutest baby they have seen in a while.  They also have a great nursery, NICU, and lactation department.  They also had a great security plan implemented, which I found to be very important.

Mason Huu Nguyen

On August 15th, 2011, Mason Huu Nguyen was born via c-section. He was 7lbs 13 oz and 20 inches long. Laura is doing a lot better considering we stayed at the hospital from Monday till Friday.

Mason's Baby Shower

Thank you to everyone, family and friends, for coming to celebrate this joyous occasion with us. 

Contraction, Rubber, Wheelchair

So earlier this week Laura had her first contractions.  A few weeks ago she thought she had a contraction or two, but this time she really knew they were contractions.  They were approximately 3 minutes apart and lasted 20 minutes.  The Doctor said if the contractions are about 5 minutes apart and last approximately 2 hours then we should go to the Emergency Room.  Luckily I already packed my "Oh S#!t" bags, so I'm ready if Mason wants to come early.

Something interesting occurred today, Laura found a toy ducky at Target and it was wearing a police officer uniform!  But of course there was also one wearing a fireman uniform.  I have noticed stores sell a lot of fireman and fire trucks baby and kids items....but it is very rare to see any baby/kids items which have police uniforms on them. Its made by Munchkin and it was a limited edition, so I had to get one!

Pregnancy Photo Session

During week 30th of the pregnancy, Laura and I went to take pregnancy photos.  The venue was located at the Firewheel Mall.  It took place on June 11th about 9 am.  We had a lot of fun taking the photos since we felt a lot more comfortable with the photographer.  Thanks to Oanh, for taking our photos; she is currently taking photography as a hobby.  I think the photos turned out really well, take a look for yourself...

One month later...

So it has been almost an entire month since we last blogged.  So much as been happening in our lives and it is time to for an update.

In the last post, I mentioned Laura took her 1-hour glucose test, well she failed it...so she had to take a 3 hour glucose test.   This means she had to get her blood drawn approximately 5 different times!  What a woman! This time she passed the test!

On July 9th, we had Mason's baby shower.  It was a great day for all of us.  We had the event at A1 Super Buffet in Arlington.   We received a lot of really good gifts.  The place was nicely decorated, great cake and cupcakes.  Also diaper cakes everywhere.  There were tons of family and friends.  It was my first baby shower and I really enjoyed it.  And I know Laura did too!  Thank you everyone!  We will post photos up soon!
