Thanks to my dad-in-law for his help! He worked on finishing the plumbing, and we got the surround up to end the day.

His legs are getting LONG.

Smokers hang cigarettes off their lips. Logan has his vice.

Cute kid. Love the lighting on his face.

It's crazy to think that after thirty-nine weeks of counting down to Logan's arrival, we're celebrating counting up to one week old.

After soiling himself this morning, Logan gets his first cloth bath.

Logan seems to be attempting to hold his pacifier against his face.

(First-time) Grandma arrives!!!

Best pic of the day. I looked down and Logan sends me a message. :)

After Holly received her epidural at 2.30am, we tried settling down to get some rest before pushing. I slept terribly...bits and pieces of sleep here and there. During one of those sleeps, though, I was awakened around 7am by the stirring of nurses and Dr. Loeb entering and leaving our room. I was VERY out of it and had to take quite a bit of time to understand what was going on. Holly was whispering to me that she was going to be pushing really soon, so, at the prompting of the nurses, I got up and grabbed one of Holly's legs to get her in the birthing position. After a half-hour of pushing, I suddenly remembered that I had wanted to record Logan's first cries, so I quickly turned to get the camera recording just as he was being born...

Logan Wayne was born at 7.31am on Nov 6th. Mom was in labor for 41 hours. We arrived at the hospital at 10pm on Nov 5th, and water was broken 20 minutes later. A long, sleepless night was rewarded with his arrival after only 30 minutes of pushing!

Mere seconds after birth.

Hols hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. Nausea and overall discomfort are keeping her from eating and drinking fluids in confidence that she'll be able to keep them down. The baby hasn't been quite as active recently either, so, we consulted the doctor, and she scheduled a non-stress test to make sure he was okay.

The monitor shows the baby's movement (based on heart rate) on the top graph, and Holly's contractions are tracked on the bottom graph. We were able to hear his heart beat and activity in the womb for the duration of the test. Holly was very encouraged to feel that much closer to him by hearing him in addition to feeling him.

The test results showed that he's quite active and responsive. He's just chilling until his time comes. :) Holly thinks he comes tomorrow. We'll see!
