One week old today!

Wow! It's hard to believe that Logan's already one week old! Everything has been going really well. He had his first doctor appointment on Monday, he has to go back to be re-weighed tomorrow since he was 6 pounds 10 ounces on Monday which is down from his discharge weight of 6 pounds 11.9 ounces, but he's eating and needing his diaper changed like he should so I'm certain it'll be better tomorrow. He didn't even have to be checked for jaundice he looks so good! Tomorrow he also gets to go to Miami for the first time, but he rides great....just sleeps through it so it'll be good. Here he is when we were about to go for a ride. He prefers his Nuk binky to the one from the hospital, he spits that one out but keeps the Nuk in.

He sleeps really good, no not through the night, but he sleeps for at least an hour and a half at a time, normally more like 2 to 2 & 1/2 hours at night. Here he is in his crib, just sleeping away. He put his arms like that by the way, and kept them there for about an hour too.



And I FINALLY caught a smile! Ok, well a half smile but it's still a smile! He normally just smiles long enough for you to point the camera at him and then quits! So we have a bunch of straight-faces pics or smirks lol, but I caught one! Yes he's absolutely precious and I still get distracted looking at his little toes and fingers lol. Hard to believe something so small and fragile could completely change your life and how you think about things....but it does, it definitely does.

Logan is here!

Introducing Logan Connor Strickland!!!



Logan Connor was born at 7:52 pm on May 14, 2009. He weighs 7 pounds and 0.004 ounces. He is 21 and 3/4 inches long. Everything went well other than him having his leg up on his chest with the cord wrapped around it when he came which explained why he was having some heart rate decelerations. But 30 minutes of pushing and he was out. I'll post pictures later. He seems to have reddish-brown hair and blue eyes so far, cute little ears, all of his fingers and toes. Just too cute for words.



Logan at about 4:30 in the morning, when he was about 9 hours old.

We've officially made it to May!

We have officially made it to May! Woo-hoo! Now we're just counting down. Just a few more weeks, maybe less, we'll see.
Everything is looking good, and progressing like it's supposed to. I've even got the diaper bag packed to take him home from the hospital....I don't have the suitcase packed to GO to the hospital but I'm ready to take him home lol! I'm planning on packing that tonight....but I do have a list made....that's a big start for me.
So that's pretty much it for right now. Will update more...well...when I know more lol.
