Welcome Logan!

So instead of posting the "Nursery After" pics I will post what happened instead of completing the nursery! Basically I went into my 36 week appointment and the doctor wheeled me from the appointment to the Labor and Delivery room shown below where I spent seven days awaiting Logan's arrival. I was considered to have borderline preeclampsia and combined with the fact that Logan was having a really rough time during each of my contractions (which I wasn't able to feel yet) my doctor told me to stay put for the week and she planned to deliver him if he didn't come on his own within the week. So I waited and waited........ one week of not leaving the room below and only able to get up to go to the bathroom was tons of fun! I had an excuse to do nothing all day except play on the computer, watch shows on hulu and people brought me food when I was hungry. Also, Nick stayed with me all day long! Of course the monitors stuck to me all night, the four in the morning blood draws as well as the fact that the noisy nurses station was right outside my room kind of spoiled the whole vacation idea.

Well after six days they decided they would induce me in the morning so they gave me some meds to get me ready but in the morning my water broke all on its own! So after six hours and some close calls Logan Nicholas Graves was born on July 6th, 2010 at 12:47 pm. He had the cord wrapped around his neck once and his body twice so I didn't get to hold him for a while but here are some pics......

They had quite a few nurses ready for Logan when he came out- four I think were all checking the little guy who came out looking pretty blue. These two pics are from when they were cleaning him up a bit.

Clean boy after his sponge bath.
Check out his tiny little crooked feet. We are working on that- updates on that will be posted later

Going home! If only for a short time.... below is the only pic from his first couple of hours at home. Then our next hospital stay came. Pictures of that to come.
