Nathan looks so squished in his car seat!

Coming Home!!

Waiting in the parenting room for Nathan! Logan and Daddy were rolling things back and forth.

Logan's 1st time seeing Nathan He kept saying oooh, Wow.....

Ready to go home!

Logan is trying to warm up to Nathan. He will come unning if Nathan is crying, but otherwise he keeps his distance. He's not quite sure what to think.

First Full Day

So today was the first full day that I had Logan and Nathan all to myself. Can I tell you, I loved every minute of it. I'm sure the newness will eventually wear off and having a toddler and a baby will become draining, but I think after the week we had last week I just feel blessed to be at home with two of my three boys.

I have a bunch of pictures from picking Nathan up from the hospital, Logan's first time seeing Nathan (which was yesterday), and family and friends with him on his first day at home. I will post these tomorrow.

One cute thing....Logan is now calling Nathan, "My Baby"

WOOHOO!!!!

I now have 3 boys in my home!!!!!

Pray

Please pray that Nathan does not lose any weight tonight. They had to put him on formula because he was not getting enough calories. Because he had lost weight two nights in a row we can not bring him home today. If he gains a little bit, hopefully tomorrow.............

Good Evening

We went to spend the afternoon with Nathan, hopefully this is the last day we have to do this! He was wide awake the entire time during both feedings! He is doing excellent and should be coming home tomorrow!!

Papa Umlauf was the first person other than Mommy and Daddy to hold Nathan!

Quick Update

Nathan is doing wonderful!!! He is completely off of any help in the NICU. He was also able to have the jaundice lights turned off and is in a normal crib!!! We are so excited. The doctor said he will be able to come home tomorrow. If I wasn't still sore from my c-section, I would be jumping for joy!!

Here he is !

Okay, I'm back. I will attempt to make a long story short. He was born on July 5th, 6 lbs. 4oz, and 19 inches long at 9:09 p.m.. He started off doing very well, but ended up having some lung problems because of being early. He has been in the NICU since late Saturday night. We had a few rough days, but he seems to be doing very well now. Fortunately, this is nothing permanent, just something that can happen when you are only 36 1/2 weeks along. I came home yesterday (Wednesday) night, and my mom is driving me to feed him everyday. Hopefully, the doctor thinks he is doing well enough to come home late on Saturday.

Right after birth, a perfect little boy!

More Pics

Photo Shoot

Julie talked me into doing a pregnant photo shoot with Logie. I finally gave in, and was pleasantly surprised with the results! She ended up taking over 500 pics with her digital! I have posted some here, you can see some different ones on her webpage or at my myspace page.

Jump Central!

We had our first experience with Jump Central today. It was supposed to be rainy all morning, so I thought it would be nice to get Logan out of the house to play. We went early and he played hard!

It is really hard to get a good picture of a 2 year old who won't stop bouncing!

He worked on this climbing wall for a while....

He finally made it! When he realized what he could do after getting to the top, there was no stopping him!


The poor little guy was so hot and sweaty when we left, can you see his hair?!
When we got home, he took a 3 hour nap!
Daddy had Bible study in the evening, so we went to Burger King for our little date day!
He was very into the katchup.

Clean Spaghetti?

This is the first time ever, we made it through spaghetti....clean! I didn't realize that those two words went together!
