arrived monday, july 13, 2009
at 5:51 pm
7 pounds 5 ounces 21 1/4 inches
arriving at our labor room sunday evening to start the induction process. they gave me something that night to try and prepare/encourage my body for labor. they also gave me some medicine to help me sleep in preparation for the big day.
we couldn't resist taking a picture in the sexy gown...with a sexy 9 month pregnant body (yea right)!
after having some minor contractions throughout the night they kicked them into high gear in the morning with some pitocin. i labored through some pretty tough contractions until i got my epidural. let me just say, it was HEAVEN! i am all about the drugs! dave entertained me throughout the day, including rolling around the room "dancing" on a rolling chair.
i pushed for about an hour and 45 minutes before greeting our little guy.
our first picture. neither of us are really looking our best, but let's be honest, being born isn't easy! talk about a miracle!
7 pounds 5 ounces. we had actually thought he would be in the 6 pound range but he surprised us
proud dad
i just have to brag that dave is THE BEST dad. he has mastered diaper changes (score for me), is amazing at swaddling logan like a little burrito and couldn't be more loving. i knew he would be, but it sure is fun to see it all in action.
logan's first set of headphones!
heading home. our first family picture.
there has been no shortage of love for logan
meeting half of his cousins
wessler and todd family love
4 generation of wessler men
we finally had a breakthrough with feeding yesterday which has made a world of difference. we are all much happier and less discouraged!
we could definitely use a little more of this though...
we are so in love and can hardly believe it has been less than a week since logan's arrival. i will be better at posting. i can't believe it took me almost a week to get this up.
