Hospital Happenings...

Now that we are back home and getting settled, I thought that I would do a quick post on our hospital happenings of the labor and delivery.  The night before Logan was due, I was thoroughly convinced that he was not going to come on time as absolutely nothing was happening!  So, I sure was surprised and almost in denial when my first contraction started at 2:30 on Friday morning.  They continued pretty steadily all morning long causing Ron and me to head to the hospital at 7 am after my parents' arrived to watch Lia.  I got my epidural at 11:30 a.m. and had my water broken at 3 p.m.  We were ready to start pushing an hour later and my little guy came into the world at 5:08 p.m.  My mom was able to join Ron and me again for the actual delivery and we were blessed with a fabulous and supportive nurse and obstetrician.  It really was a wonderful experience and I can't say enough how grateful I am that my labor lasted only 14.5 hours!  Here is a quick photo run-down of our time in the hospital!

About two hours after Logan's birth, Lia and grandpa came to meet him. Here is Lia minutes after meeting her brother for the first time!

Logan received his first bath the morning after being born.  He didn't take to it too well.
