Our first week at home...

Logan is the sweetest little baby, I thought Braxton was a sweet heart. Logan barely cries at all, except when his diaper is off too long. :)  He nurses well and sleeps about 3-4 hours at a time during the night. 
So here is our first week at home in picture form with a few comments.





Reading him books on his first night home. 

 It took him 3 days to work up the courage to kiss him.


Happy Halloween!!
With a 4 day old baby and Brandon working on his parents land preparing for winter I was left home with the kids. So we made the best of it. Carved one pumpkin, Braxton's design and then Brandon's mom came and took Brax to a Trunk or Treat in Sugar City. When he got back we had  trick or treater and then that became the fun thing to do for the night, hand out candy to trick or treaters. We only had 8, but it was exciting for him to open the door and hand out candy.






  









All Dressed up and ready to go!




Our Buzz and Lil' Punkin!


  He insisted that he take a picture of me and Logan.
 

  
It was too windy for his pumpkin to stay lit so we brought it inside lit it and ate pizza and rootbeer floats together while we played a memory card game that he got in his trick or treat bucket.


Such a good Big Brother! 




I thought that Brax and Logan were starting to look alike until I took his one week picture today and compared it to Braxtons.  Brax had such a mature look to him when he was born and Logan looks like a new born normally does. It'll be interesting to see how he changes in the next couple months.


I CAUGHT A BABY SMILE!!!
He smiles so much when he is sleeping and after he eats. 






Logan's arrived!


My last day of being pregnant!

At my doctors appt. on the 26th I still had not budged at all in any way. So the doctor said that it was set up for me to go in and stay the night so they could administer a pill to start my contractions. Then the doctor would come in and induce me the next morning.
I'm pretty sure I slept most the night, cause I don't really remember much.  The next morning they checked me to see if the pill had done anything over night... it had but barely anything. I was dilated to 1 1/2.  So the doctor came in and said that since I had made some progress over night he would just break my water and see if I would need the IV drip.  I didn't need anything slowly I progressing and 9 hours later the doc came in and delivered our second little bundle.
