Logan Pictures!

I know you're all here for the pictures, so I'll keep this short. Logan Sean Evans was born at 1:06 a.m. on September 24th. He was exactly seven pounds, and eighteen inches long. Now, here are the pictures!


Brittani got what she wanted most. A chance to hold Logan instead of having him rushed to the NIKU.


That yawn is about all we get out of him before he decides to just go to sleep again.


Happy after his bath.


Logan getting checked in the nursery.


He had to be hooked to the c-pap for a few hours, but was fine after that. What a trooper!


Logan and his six week old cousin Dylan. Hopefully they'll be good buds.


Mara thinks she's pretty cool when she gets to hold Logan, at least until she gets bored.


This is just funny. Mommy had the nursing cover on, so why shouldn't Mara? At least that's what she thought in her little head.


Logan's homecoming outfit. What a stud!

Fortune for Two

Today we got Chinese Food for lunch. Yummy. That's besides the point.

So we're done eating and we open up our fortune cookies and mine had two fortunes!

The funniest part? The fortunes actually made sense for my situation.

My fortune: All your hard work is about to pay off
Logan's: The road ahead is going to be very bumppy and hard, but well worth it

The weirdest/coincidental part? This happened to me once before, right before I gave birth to Mara. Do Do Do Do (Twilight song) Hahahaha. Gotta love it!

Life sucks...and then you give birth.

Ya know the saying, "life sucks, and then you die"? Well, I'd like to liken that to pregnancy.

Why do we have to be so miserable when we are pregnant? Oh sure, there are women out there who love every waking AND sleeping moment...but for those of us that aren't nuts we are miserable.

I shouldn't complain too much. This pregnancy has been a BREEZE compared to the last, but still I am a whale and am therefore uncomfortable 24/7. At one point in my pregnancy (though it was so long ago it's hard to remember) I absolutely adored feeling him moving around in there. Now? Not so much. He is so darn low I feel like he's trying to stick a hand out to test out the weather. I honestly cringed everytime he moves because it just hurts SO bad.

My poor husband. I've gone all hormonal on him lately. He takes it in stride, but I know it must be hard. Almost every night when he gets home from work I bust out bawling because of this or that stupid thing.

It's gotten so hard to move around and moving induces lots of swelling, so that means my poor Mara doesn't exactally get as much attention from me lately. She comes to me and says, "stowy, pa-lah" (story, please) and sits on my lap while I read to her, she then will snuggle with me for a bit and then be off to play again. One good thing that has come out of this is that she is very content to play by herself a lot of the time. A skill which I will come to love even more when Logan comes, I am sure.

Please, no visitors to my house. It is a DISASTER. No joke, it's like a bomb went off almost constantly. When it got hard to bend over I'd clean up by using my feet...now I can hardly do that! Oh, and not to mention that after I spend like ten minutes cleaning I'm sweating like a nasty pig.

Wow, aren't I just a brat? I should be so grateful that I have this opportunity, and usually I am. But tonight is another matter entirely.

Don't worry, I'll get over it.

p.s. I am being induced October 5th! Yeehaw!
