We had a baby!

On May 20th at 6:54am we welcomed our new little man Logan! It was an exciting day!

 

I had a scheduled C-section for 6:30am which meant we had to be at the hospital at 4:30am. Needless to say the kids had a sleepover at grandma and grandpas house the night before.

 

Family of 5 for the last time!

Ummm.....yeah.

 Bright and early the next morning we headed to the hospital. After an hour on the monitors, disgusting medication, multiple attempts to put in my IV resulting in a swollen and severely bruised hand that lasted for a month, and painful antibiotics we headed to the OR. The anesthesiologist had a really difficult time doing my spinal too. It was uncomfortable. I guess after three previous C-sections I'm lacking in spinal fluid. But finally.......

He's here!

out came this little guy! We were surprised by two things. 1. I thought he would be over 8 pounds. He was 7 lbs 5.9 oz and 20 inches long.

2. He has red hair!

So pretty! Not. But I was happy to be able to be taking Logan out of the OR with us! Both Chase and Carly had to have some time in the NICU so I was almost surprised that we just carried him out.

Isn't my mom so pretty?!

 

First bath.

He loved it.

In the afternoon the kids were able to come meet their new baby brother. Prior to his birth we were worried about Carly's adjustment. She was definitely unsure about him at first.

Chase was so happy to have a brother.

Brothers!

Still unsure.

 

Then the stream of visitors started coming. We didn't get pictures of everyone but it was so nice of everyone that supported us! It would be easy to not really care as much because it's kid #4 but all of our family and some friends came to visit. It was fun.

His first Utah hat! From Uncle Trever and Aunt Diane!

Excited for their new baby brother!

Not excited for her new baby brother!

I love when newborns sleep with their arms up.

Our celebration sparkling cider. The hospital provides a celebratory steak dinner for the new mom and dad. Complete with mashed potatoes, rolls, veggies, sparkling cider, chocolates, and blue flowers! (Since we had a boy.) It was fun and surprisingly tasty!

Someone's excited to go home!
