Logan's Birthday!

Last week at my OB check up appointment, we had scheduled an induction for Tuesday, Nov. 4th, because Logan was measuring to be a big baby. BUT, after a fun-filled Halloween festival with Ben and our good friends, the Crippens, I told Randy going to bed Friday night that I had a feeling that I was not going to make it through the weekend. I had a feeling that Logan was going to make his worldly entrance over the weekend. I was right! I woke up Saturday morning around 5am with some consistent contractions, about 8-9 minutes apart. I stayed home and labored all day and finally went to the hospital and was admitted around 5pm, with contractions about every 3-4 minutes. Things moved very quickly once I was admitted, and Logan was born at 9:30pm! This labor and delivery experience was much different (easier!) than with Ben---everything went so smoothly! Randy and I were so thankful for such a great experience and such a healthy baby boy! Here are some pictures of our journey over the weekend! Here is a picture of Logan and I: pre-birth!

Here is a picture of my big helper, Ben! He loves to help Mommy change diapers. His favorite thing to ask is: "Mommy, what's that?..what's that?..."
