1 month:)

My little Logan is one month old:) Time's flying by so fast and it's hard to take pictures of everything.

 This is the most updated picture I have of him...about 3 weeks 4 days. My mom was babysitting him for me while I took care of some things and Logan was just smiling and cooing at her. I'm so happy that she is able to get the pictures that I can't:) He looks so much like Jerry it isn't funny.

Tuesday we had to do the worst thing possible to Logan (he'll thank us later) and got him circumcised. I've never felt so bad in my life but like I said, he'll thank us for it later. So far he's still sleeping somewhat through the night, depending on when his late nap is. He usually wakes up around 8 or 9, eats, hangs out and then goes back to sleep around noon or 1, wakes up around 3 or 4 and then is up until anywhere between 6-11. He's sleeping right now and looks so peaceful. All I had to do was take him to walmart...lol

Now, for an update on mommy and daddy....

Daddy- Jerry's doing good. He's a great dad and is adjusting well to having a baby...like all fathers, he doesn't ever hear him crying when he's home at night..lol. He's still working midnights and right before we had Logan, he asked how does Kate and Bert do it- especially with four kids on a state salary? Faith, trust, love, and budgeting really well is how they survive.

 We only have Logan and sometimes it seems like ends wont meet but we always do somehow:)

Mommy- I've been doing good...A couple weeks ago I had really bad stomach and back pain, but wrote it off and took some tylenol. Well last night, I had the same abdominal pain and it was so intense that I was having trouble breathing and dry heaving- even though I had food in my system. finally I decided to try a shower to see if that would work but I just couldn't stand up anymore and just pretty much got into the fetal position in the tub- Jerry came in and was kind of alarmed but we both just figured something I ate. It eased up enough that I could stand up and get out of the shower, but I was weak in the knees. Eventually, I decided to go to the emergency room. Jerry dropped me off- which sounds bad, but we had left Logan with his Granny and she can barely pick him up so we made the mutual decision that it'd be better for him to be with Logan than with me...I'm a big girl. lol... but then I got my mom to come be with me.

Anyways, they hooked me up to an iv, took a urine sample and found out my liver enzymes were up. They sent me for an ultrasound on my liver and gallbladder and found out that I have multiple gallstones...GREAT!!! all i could think about was the fact that I have a 1 month old baby at home who needs me,  I can't be falling apart already. lol...well they said that my gallbladder wasn't inflamed or irritated so it wasn't a really serious matter. I have a drs appointment tomorrow to see what needs to be done considering I just had a baby a month ago. Then we call and find out what my obgyn would say about all this.

Then on top of all this- I had to get rid of Cryxis yesterday. My friend Leah has a sister that works at a vets office and she found 3 homes that he could live in and they would take over the medical expenses. I was promised pictures and updates on my furry baby so I'm not too sad about it. He deserves this because I just didn't have the time to take care of him and it wasn't fair to him. He'll be really happy in the home he's going to, I've met the lady and she fell in love with him as soon as she met him:)

So to sum things up, I've been stretched farther than I ever thought I could be, but like mom said last night when I was worrying about everything on my plate already- "If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it." I just really have to rely on Jerry and my faith right now as we endure these "great" times....

Loving Life As A Mommy:)

Logan is almost 3 weeks old:) I can't believe time has gone by that fast! He's smiling alot more and now makes cooing sounds when we talk to him...He went to the doctor last week and was 8pds 3 ounces. First trip to doctor he was 7pds 15 ounces so we are happy! He's eating 4-6 ounces of formula each feeding which is every 3-4 hours. He's also sometimes sleeping through the night depending on what time his bedtime feeding is. He's a very quiet baby-only time he cries is when we are changing his clothes- he doesn't like to be naked. I'm so happy to be a mom now. I love waking up every 3-4 hours and seeing him, even if he's crying for me to make a bottle. I love the smiles I get even if it's at 2am.
 Tuesday is Valentines Day- Jerry and I are leaving Logan for the first time to go out to dinner. Granted we are leaving him with my mom and dad- who I know can take care of him and I won't have to worry more than I already will be...lol. This will be the first time I've ever left Logan for more than 30 minutes. It's gonna be rough for me because I spend 24 hours a day with him- he never really leaves my side and I'm gonna be roughly 30 miles away from him for a few hours:/ guess we will see how that goes...lol

HE'S HERE!!!!!

MEET LOGAN ALEXANDER WILKISON:) January 25th 2012- 8 pounds 2 ounces and 20 inches long!

 Fast forward to today:) He'll be two weeks old on Wednesday! That went by fast! Picture is of him at 1 week and he's already looking different than that. Definitely looks like Jerry though I do come out in him some. Mostly his fussiness! Do what he wants when he wants you to and you'll be just fine. He sleeps pretty much all the time. Eats and Poops pretty well...lol. He's already smiling and just today started making noises when we were "talking" He definitely knows who his mommy and daddy are and is in love with Grandma and Grandpa! But I have to say the highlight of my days was when JR met his cousin for the first time. He helped me give Logan a bath and change his diaper! He wouldn't leave my side if I had Logan and is just happy to have a new boy to play with!
