Prayer Request

On March 26th, my very good friend Meredith had a beautiful baby girl named Jane Baird. Later that day the nurses discovered that she had a fistula, which is a hole in the esophogus, making it impossible for the baby to swallow/digest food. She had surgery at Children's Hospital on Friday and we are asking that you all pray not only for Jane Baird, but also for her parents Meredith and Alan. So far, the surgery seems to be a success and they hope to take her off of the ventilator and feed her soon. Pray that they find no more holes, that she is able to digest her food, and that the baby can come home very soon. Also, pray for Meredith and Alan, as they will be driving back and forth everyday until the baby gets to come home.

A blast from the recent past

You all have seen lots of pics of Logan and heard lots about him, but I thought it might be appropriate to add a few more pictures to showcase how we got here. So, I added several pictures from our wedding, which we planned in about twelve weeks (two of which I was in Italy with my mother). We did this because my sister Jess was informed two weeks after we announced our engagement that she would be leaving for Afghanistan in August. Jess had already missed her twin's wedding because of military obligations and I refused to let her miss ours as well. I am so glad we planned it quickly; all of my immediate family was able to attend and it turned out beautifully. I want to say thanks again to everyone who helped us plan this so quickly! You are all wonderful people and we never could have done it without you all. Also, thanks to my parents and Jess for giving us such an awesome gift- our honeymoon!!!

Back to work

On Monday, March 2nd, I returned to work after having 10 wonderful weeks off with our baby boy. Chris went back about a month ago and he told me the first week would be the toughest. I thought for sure I would be crying my eyes out when I left that first morning. Well, I am proud to say I did not cry my first full day away from my baby boy, even though there were some moments when I came close. I do want to give props to my awesome principal for working with me to allow me to continue nursing my son. We have worked it out so that on most days during my lunch I will be able to lock my door and nurse Logan. I think this is absolutely amazing and I feel so blessed that I work for someone who knows that family is a top priority. YEY for jobs and people who work with you and not against you! Praise God!!!

Two month appointment

On Monday, February 23rd, Chris and I took Logan to his two month appointment with Dr. Bill. We were so excited to go to see how much Logan had grown and to tell Dr. Bill that Logan rolled over at 7 weeks!!! When the nurse weighed him, she was like "Wow! He has really grown since his first visit, y'all must be feeding that baby good." He weighed 11 lbs and 3 oz and was 22 and one half inches long. He also got his immunizations that day as well and has been having a rough go of it since.
I hope to post some new pictures soon. Chris bought me a camcorder/digital camera for Valentine's Day and I am still trying to figure it out.
