Birth of Baby Logan

Nine days past his due date, baby Logan finally made his arrival on Thursday March 31st, 2011 at 11:29pm. We went in for our scheduled induction around midnight on March 30th and we were certain we were coming home with an April Fool's day baby, but around 11pm on March 31st he started showing some signs of distress and I came down with a fever of 100.5, so the doctor decided it was best to take him by c-section. He weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21 inches long. We spent our first few days in the hospital but finally made it home Sunday afternoon. Overall, he is a great baby. He pretty much just eats, sleeps, and poops. On his 3rd night home he slept for a little over 5 hours during the night. We were very excited! Our cats have adjusted well and spend time wherever we are. They sniff him but other than that they are not to interested in him. Shawn has been home all week and it has been great to share this time together during his first week. Monday he will go back to work and it will be just the two of us during the day. I will be off of work until May 31st. I will go back for a week and then be off all summer until next school year.

I am hoping to keep up with this blog regularly so that we can look back and remember milestones and events in our little man's life. We have made it through the first week and are excited for all the things that the future weeks have in store.
