Hello world

We would like you to meet the newest member of our family, This is Logan Ray.




He was born at 5pm on the dot today the 29th. He is the smallest of my babys only 8lbs 4oz and 21.5in. This is 2oz less then robby and 2lbs 15oz less then davis. We are all doing well I want to take the time to write his birth story while it is so freash.

We got to the Hospital at 545am. We were taken to our room and began to get comfey. at about 7ish my Pitosin was started and my water broke. The dr told me he wanted me to be a 4 before we did our epidural. Well that didnt take long I was there by 9! (I had been a one when we showed up.) So they come in to start my Epidural but the guy could not get it going, I was so scared I was cryin and could hardly breath. Poor Russ looked like he was a bigger mess then me. After about 30min of trying they called in a dr to do it and he had a diff nurse come help him. She was just what I needed, She held my hand and talked me though it all. After just a few min they got it in But it was in a vain so they had to redo it. But he got it after that. As they were finishing up all of us in the room were makin jokes about the 1st guy. Including him. I needed that after the whole almost an hour to place my epidural thing. so then they start my meds. By this time My MIL and SIL were here. My blood pressure started droping so they gave me some meds to bring it up. so then I set around and played on the internet and just talked Till about noonish when i managed to rest a lil bit. at about 1 I got up and was hurtin My epidral ran out and I had what they call a hot spot in my back. It is just a small place that is not numb becuz the baby most likely had a hand in the way. So they gave me some extra meds in my epidural and got me a new bag, Well the extra meds made my Bp drop really really low (85/27) and I got so sick I was throwin up. Something Ive never done in labor. So the nurse gave me the meds to bring my BP up again and I was much better. Well after 2 the big boys came to see us. My poor robby was not feelin well. He had a feaver so sadly we had to send him home. But not till after I got some good cuddles. Well then the dr came in and checked me and I was still a between a 4 and 5. So he told me that if I was not ready to go by 4 it would be a c-section for me. Well I was freaked out Im scared of a c-section. I was prayin that i would be ready to go and cryin to. Well guess what 4 came and went and I still was not doin anything, so they went ahead and but me on the list for a c-section. They had 2 ppl before me so they said it would be 5 or 530 before I got to go. By this time I was just prayin for peace. At 4:45 the nurse came to check me one last time before I went into the OR and guess what, In that time period of less then 45min I had gone all the way to a 10!!!! I was not feelin the need to push but the wanted me to try. so they got the room all ready. By this time the only ppl here were me russ and shanna. Shanna did not wanna be on the room so she left. I push though 2 contractions and he was here. It was so easy. I was calm and talkin though it all. I was so surprised at how lil he was. He was so handsome. hearin his 1st cry was amazing. When they got me all fixed up and gave him to me I was amazed. He is a 50 50 combo of russ and me. We can not tell yet what his eyes are gonna be. Im kinda wanting blue or green. Then I thought of this episode of a baby story I saw a while back where to momma talked about how her family always smells there new babys breath and I could not help but do it. I was the sweetest lil smell. It smelled like iced tea. also He has dark hair, He is the only one of the boys boprn with it. He is so sweet. I then let his aunt shanna have a turn loving her new nephew while I ate. Let me tell you what that was some good stuff. I could not belive it was hospital food. It was some kind of beef and gravey over rice with green beans salad a roll and nana pudding. I scarfed all of it but half the puddin down so fast. Then Laura was here. She got Logan the cutest gifts. A super soft blaket with a duck and his name monagramed on it, an awsome ed hardy onesie and a bib that says future rook player lol. I let her love on him a few then I fed him. He was so fast to latch on and he stayed that way for 15-20 mins then he burped was kissed a lil more then took the other side. This was a 1st for me i strugled so much with the 1st 2. He was a champ I hope he keeps it up I would love to skip formula. So then russ' dad came by just to see him for a min then went to stay with the big boys. MY sis and brother then showed up. then my momma and daddy. Then Russ' mom. WE all just loved on each other and logan. It has been an amzing day. Im so sad that robby is sick I know he has been lookin forward to meeting his new baby brother. I can not wait for that meeting. Please pray for him that he will be well nuff friday to come see us. With that said im gonna go becuz Ive only got 15min to eat and drink till im cut off. I can not eat or drink any thing till after my tubal tom at 1130. Please be praying for me Im a lil nervus about being cut on. They are gonna try to use my epidural from today if they can other wise they will use genral anasteisa the thought of being put under really scares me so pray my epidural is still good and works. We would love visiters so please feel free to come see us.
