My heart is so full of Joy right now! Three weeks ago we welcomed our little boy into this world! He is healthy and adorable! (Yes, we are probably a bit bias!) We announced that I was pregnant on Christmas Day and boy does that feel like a hundred years ago now! Pregnancies have proven to be very difficult for me. This time was much better than last time though which we were all grateful for! Mentally it was easier this time since I knew the huge reward that was waiting for me at the end! :) This time we also had a huge support system and good friends within our church which turned out to be quite the blessing!
I had a scheduled C-section for this birth. It was nice knowing (since all went as planned) our son's birthday! I was about to burst with anticipation that last month though. I just wanted to be on the other side of the surgery. Its a scary thing to mentally prepare for. But when the day finally arrived, everything went great! We left at 6am for the hospital and Lola stayed with a babysitter. I didn't sleep a wink the night before, it was just like the night before the first day of school as a kid! :)
Logan Lee was born at 8:43am and weighed 7lbs 1oz. and was 19 in long. He was a tiny little guy! We had arranged for Lola to come meet Logan sometime in the afternoon after I was able to sit up and get dressed, I didn't want to scare her and wanted to look as healthy and normal as possible to her. :) Sitting on the bed introducing Lola to Logan is a memory I will treasure forever! Lola was so excited to meet him and it went great! A huge thank you to my parents who had Lola staying with them while I was in the hospital for three days! She had such a great time! :)
Our transition at home has been thankfully very easy! Lola adores her little brother and wants to help him with everything. I ask her if she will watch him for me for a second while I make a bottle and I hear her talking to him "its okay baby brother! I'm your big sister Lola, i'm here!" It makes my heart smile! Looking forward to being completely recovered and living life like normal as a family of 4. Here are some pictures of our little man's birthday! :)
Getting ready to walk down to the operating room, a seriously frightening place to just walk into!
First peek at my boy who had been renting out the room in my womb for the last 9 months!
Lola meeting Logan! She bought him the lion and had been waiting quite a while to give it to her "little brudder." :)
First family photo!
This photo below was taken at 2 weeks & 2 days old. Logan apparently does his best work for the camera in this outfit! :)
We love him to pieces! He already is adding so much to our family! :) Of course we are super sleep deprived and a little zombie like right now, but we are soaking up every minute because we have learned first hand how fast this time goes! :)
