I don't even know where to begin to explain how much joy and happiness my little man brings me. Along with the joy he brings me a little sleep deprivation but he is worth it, every minute of it.
The Birth
August 27th I went to the hospital because I had a fever and the doctor wanted to check me out. My heart rate was high and so was the little man's and since I was so far along (maybe 38 weeks) the doctor decided to induce me. I was in labor a little over 7 hours and Logan was born August 28th at 3:07 a.m. He was 22 inches long and weight 8lbs. and 4oz. We were in love the minute we saw him. What a miracle it is to have a baby. I am so happy that I am a woman and that I was the lucky one to bring this little piece of heaven into the world. The delivery was easy breezy just like my pregnancy was and I feel very fortunate for that and look forward to doing it all over again.
The not so simple:
The last week of pregnancy. I was miserable pretty much the whole time.

Our little family
Our Love Bug
Week 1Oh man is he really mine? I could just let him lay on my chest forever and ever. He smells so good and I love his little hands and feet. His hair is so soft and his cry is so sweet and I can hardly believe he is mine. I LOVE this week, I LOVE my baby, and I LOVE my husband! It just so happend that Adam had the whole week off and it was so great to have him around. He seriously is the BEST!
The not so simple:
Breast Feeding. I knew that it would be a struggle but you don't know how much of a struggle it will be until you are actually in the situation. Luckily by the end of the week we started getting the hang of it.

Logan ended up peeing and pooping without his diaper on. We thought it was pretty hilarious!
Week 2
Thank goodness for all the kind women in my ward and for our wonderful family members. We have been well fed! We get 7 dinners from members in our ward and when we didn't have a dinner coming from them someone from one of our families sure picked up the slack. Those dinners were seriously heaven sent. It was so nice to not have to go grocery shopping or think of what to make for dinner. Thank you so much to everyone who brought us dinner they were all so delicious. Adam was back to work and I sure missed him. I realized how easy the first week was because of him. Thank you boy for all of your help.
My little man is everything I could have every hoped for. I just want to be with him all the time and many of his naps get spent in my arms and i just cherish this time because I know it won't last forever.
The not so simple:
1. Sleep or lack there of-I think it is finally starting to catch up to me and I miss it. It is sad to think that this is just the beginning of my tiredness and that it will probably only get worse.
2. Headaches-Killer headaches! I hear that it can be an effect of the epidural and it sure is effecting me. I hope they will go away soon.

Week 3
St. George-Logan's first vacation. It was so much fun to have a little get-away with the Wray's and much needed (by me). We really just hung out but I didn't have laundry to wash, a house to clean, dishes that needed to be put away, all I had to worry about is feeding the little man, taking naps, and reading books, it was awesome! Thanks for the invite Taylor and Sherrie, we had a great time.
The not so simple:
Stopping 2 times on the way to St. George to breast feed effectively turning a four hour drive into five and a half.
Hanging out by the pool
Weeks 4-5
I'm starting to feel like a normal person again and it feels great. Me and the little man go for a walk every morning because the weather is nice. Logan is such an enjoyable baby and his routine consists of eating then playing then sleeping and as a mom I love all these activities.
Logan's Firsts:
First smile for Adam: September 30th (so he say's) :)
First smile for Me: October 2nd (this made my heart melt)
Rolled over from his belly to his back on September 30th and we both saw it. It was an exciting moment for us, we love him!
The not so simple:
1. Adam's work weeks-I miss him!
2. Sleep-If I could sleep 4 hours strait or even 3 that would be awesome.
Week 6
My baby is 6 weeks and I can't even believe it. He is darling, darling, darling! He is such a good baby. I'm in love with my life!
