A Growing Little Boy





























I can't believe it but Logan is a month old! It's gone really fast. Things have been going really well. The jaundice (sp??) is a lot better and his bilireuben is down to a normal level. We were very glad when we got word that the bili was low enough to stop going to Fargo every morning to get blood drawn and that we could unplug Logan from the bili blanket at home. The pictures that look like a tanning bed are showing the bed Logan had to spend the night in to get the photo therapy when we realized his bili was high. The ones where he looks like he's glowing are showing the bili blanket he had on for a week at home. The rest are just fun ones from our first weeks at home. Look close on a couple and you'll see the curly hair during the bath and the fuzzy hair after the bath! Who cares, he's still cute!

Getting Closer

Well, i was at the doctor today and he said things were looking good. The heartbeat was still in the 150's which is good. He said i've dropped and that i'm dialated to 2cm and 50% effaced...which means that things are starting. He gave me a guess that the baby is about 7 pounds right now which is an average size so that's good. He also told me to make an appointment for next week but he said he'd be shocked if he didn't see me till then...If it runs in the family at all, this baby could come pretty darn soon. Mom said she was in for a checkup before i came and she was 3cm and i came within 24 hours!


Needless to say i'm a little excited. Chris on the other hand...not so much. I told him when i got home that we needed to talk and he just got white! It was pretty funny. I think he's more worried now than he's been ever! I told him the doctor said everything is fine but he still feels the need to check in with me every 10 minutes while he's out in the backyard working...He pretty much told me that i should stay inside, sit on the couch and relax...way easier for me to do than for him to believe me when i say i will!


Anyways- I'll let you know what happens!

Latest Baby Info


Well, i was back to the doctor on Thursday for a check up. He said everything is going very well. The head is down and the heart rate was back up to the 150's (up from the 130's two weeks ago). The nurse gave me some some pointers for getting ready to go to the hospital and that got me very excited.

Last week when Chris was home we were trying to make a plan so if the baby decides to come when he's at work and we didn't get very far. I asked the doctor about the plans he thought we should be making with Chris being so far away and he said if i make it 3 more weeks (putting me to 39 weeks total) Chris will be home and he'll induce me so the baby can come when Chris is already here and i don't have to worry about him driving home alone from Iowa. So, hopefully things will go well and the baby will come when everyone is home.

On Friday they had the city wide rummage sale in Barnesville so mom and i decided to take in all the festivities. We came out pretty good. We found lots of toys, Halloween costumes and Noah's Ark things for the nursery. Things are really starting to come together in the nursery! I think we're to the point that all we need is the baby!!!





I head back to the doctor next week. I'll let you know what the doctor says!!!

Baby at 28 weeks




Here are the latest baby pictures. I was at the doctor on Wednesday and they sent me home with about 8 ultrasound pictures. I must have scanned the top one in crooked...not sure how else it would have gotten like that...anyways...the first two are 3D pictures and the last one was normal. You can see the face and left hand in the top one, more of just the face in the second one and a profile of the head and arm in the last one. The doctor said everything was looking good. Baby shifted its position from sideways to head down. I'm not sure if it's going ot stay that way for the next 3 months but the doctor said it was ok that baby was that way for now. The heartbeat this time was 148. A little higher than last time but baby was very active during the check up. The doctor asked me if baby was moving and lot and laughed at me when i answered 'constantly' with a smile! He said baby is growing just as it should. I go back in March for my last 4 week checkup then i'll start going every 2 weeks for a while and then once a week. Only 12 weeks left!!!
We're really getting excited for baby to get here. We got the dresser moved into the baby room and it's already full of cute, tiny clothes!!! I know that's not a shock to most of you...it's so hard to go to the store and not pick out a couple things from the baby department! The diaper supply is already looking pretty good (for now anyways!!!) I was at Sam's the other day and bought a huge box of wipes...more for Chris than baby!!! Now all i need to find for him are rubber gloves! I think he's nervous to change diapers but he'll get the hang of it...he about died when i told him that on a good day baby will probably have 8-10 dirty diapers...he'll get lots of practice!!!
Ok, i'm going to quite there. I'll keep you posted on any new updates!!!
