Wow! I'm a slacker lol!

I just realized I haven't posted a blog in 3 weeks! Oops!
Hmmn I guess I'll go in chronological order...when Logan was 3 weeks old he got a visit from his Great-Granny Westerhouse and his Great-Uncle Randy. He slept through most of it. But it was great seeing them as we haven't seen them in a long time. They both look and are doing great!
When Logan was 4 weeks old his Great-Grandparents Swann came down to visit. It was really nice. We went to Bella Peppers with Logan's Uncle Billy and Auntie Sarah and went back to their hotel suite and visited until Jeff had to go to work. But it was nice seeing them, we haven't seen in them in over a year & a half, it's been even longer for Jeff because he was out of town last time they came through the area. They had just gotten back from a safari in Africa and told us all about their adventures there. This was also the week our air conditioner quit working....so I felt like we were IN Africa!
Logan got to visit both my and Jeff's work on the night he turned one month old. He got to be held by Barry, Dara, Michelle, and Stephanie and he weighed in at a whopping 9.24 pounds (4.2 kg), but then they had patients so we went to Jeff's work where he got to meet Lacey and Amanda...he slept through both places which was kind of surprising.
Finally got our air conditioner fixed, a part either fried from a power surge or it got struck by lightning in a bad storm we had...but life became better after that!
Week 5 was pretty uneventful, we stayed in most of it, but we had Grandparent time which was nice. Logan got to hang out with Grandma Paula and Grandpa Don while Jeff and I took a nap after we'd all gone and ate Chinese...well Logan got his a few hours later, he's still loving that processed food lol but it was nice. And it was so nice of Don to help Jeff mow the lawn since our mower's deck broke...I was losing Gwen right outside the door, the grass has been growing like crazy with all this rain!
Yesterday was the first day of week 6, we went to my doctor's appointment...it was good, I'm released so I can now start working on P90X...I've already lost everything I gained with pregnancy but I want to be in better shape, so Jeff and I are challenging each other to do it....seems straight forward enough...I'll update on progress. Then we went to Babies R Us and bought shoes for Logan to wear to my Dad's wedding to go with his outfit..glad he was wearing the outfit he'll be wearing that day because the shoes I was crazy about looked horrible with it so we got some cute little blue shoes. Then we went to Cheddars and he slept through it all.
Have to do more shopping today...later today...make some important phone calls....and then hopefully sleep....but it's 0200, and Logan is asleep so I'm going to get the laundry in the dryer and move him downstairs and we are going to go to bed.

3 weeks old and an innie!

After my last blog, I changed Logan and he had lost his umbilical stump, so we now have an INNIE! It's too cute, haven't been brave enough to tub bathe him yet, he's doing ok with sponge baths for now lol. He smells like a baby so obviously it's working.
Definitely nocturnal, he wakes up between 0300-0400 and stays awake until 0500 or later....he's done this all week, so I'm getting used to it, not crying, not screaming just hanging out, so I lay him in bed with me and we cuddle. I know when he's older and able to loco-mote he won't want to be held and cuddled very much because there is just too much stuff to see and get into so I'm trying to get in as many now as I can.
Enjoying my time staring at this cute little face....his hands are getting pudgier and it's just wild to feel and see the differences in him in just 3 short short weeks!

3 weeks old tomorrow!

Logan turns 3 weeks old tomorrow. He's still nice and mellow, although now he's starting to wake up around 0400 and stay up until 0500 or so, not crying or anything, he eats, gets his diaper changed and then just wants to be held while he looks around at the world.
He's gotten to meet a lot of people, he seems to do okay with meeting new people for now, although he's not a huge fan of people not knowing how he prefers to be held and then he gets fussy.
Here he is at the "Welcome Home Logan" barbecue at Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Jan's. Lots of people, great smoked chicken and barbecued brats, very tasty, of course he did have to have his re-processed but he didn't seem to mind.
This is after he'd had his clothes changed 3 times (we had some spit-up and pee issues) and he was finally asleep, the picture is a little grainy because I took this with my cellphone.

One of our 0400 hanging out sessions. How can anyone mind staying up to look at this face?


Worn out and napping in the nursery, we take a nap every day in the glider lol.



Another 0400 session, our little night owl! Thank God for Nuk binkies otherwise he's scratching his face with his hands trying to figure out how to suck on them.


And he is still in newborn diapers and clothes! Still has his umbilical cord stump, but it should be coming off any day now...he's growing so fast! But he still can't wear his 0-3 months clothes because they're too huge on him...soon though....of course he's too darn cute in his newborn stuff, yes I'll be crying when he outgrows them! But he has lots more cute clothes just waiting for him. Jeff is just waiting on him to be big enough to wear his "Army of Darkness" onesie....might have to buy a 0-3 one the one we have is a 3-6 month...thought he'd follow in our nephew and niece's footprints and be wearing 0-3 at birth, but the no sugar after week 24 diet from Dr. Lacey did help keep him small, and the weight off of me too! Our neighbor didn't realize we were pregnant, asked if we were babysitting when we brought him home one day when Jeff went to show him off, of course I slept pretty much all day every day while I was pregnant though and tried to stay out of the sun as well so they didn't see me that much. The neighbors with the pit bulls have finally moved out, thankfully. The dogs think he belongs to them, Hannah guards the Pack 'n Play at night and Gwen tries to eat anyone who comes near him....she'll have to start with the pinkie toe of course since she's so small herself lol.
