3 Years Old!!!

So I am not totally sure how this happened but our little man has turned 3...3?!?!?!  On one hand it seems like a lifetime and on the other hand I can't believe he has gotten so big.  To say the last three years were a journey would be quite the understatement but looking back I wouldn't have it any way.  If we hadn't encountered all the things we have these past 3 years none of us would be who we are today and honestly, I like us...I like us a lot!  ;)  I have learned more about resilience and kindness and love and heartache from a 3 year old than I have known in my whole life.  Everyday he opens my eyes to new and amazing things and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful little angel to call my own!  Happy birthday little man, I love you more than the stars and the fishies and the sand!!

Ok, enough with the sappy Mommy stuff, let's talk about our little guys birthday celebrations, because of course you can't turn 3 without some partying going on!!  :)  The weekend before Logan's birthday this year was the Atlanta Concours d'Elegance, a car show my Dad has been working to put on for the last 2 years.  This meant there was a lot of stuff happening that weekend but it also meant that we had a lot of wonderful family in town who got to celebrate both the Concours and Logan!  Since we had so many people in town we decided to just do a small (I say small but it ended up about 25 people) family birthday party on Monday afternoon before everyone headed back home.  It ended up being an absolutely beautiful day and we had a blast hanging out with everyone and having such a great group of family and loved ones around to celebrate our lil guy!  Here are some pictures from the day, thanks for everyone who joined us and for everyone who sent their love and birthday wishes and cards & gifts.  We love you all more than you know!!

So lucky to have so many Grandparents and Great Grandpa there to celebrate with us!

Thank you Auntie Sara and Uncle Kevin for coming all they way from CA to see me, come back soon!!
I sure love my GM and GP!!!

On top of the birthday party fun, Mommy got to go to school and bring cookies for the class to celebrate.  It was so great to see Logie with all his friends, they are so sweet with him and he seems to really be making some great friends.  Here are a couple of pictures of Mommy's day in class!!

Love my Mommy!

5 & 6!! - November 13-14, 2013

The title of this post says everything although you may not realize what it means...we have finally hit 2 very exciting milestones related to 5 & 6.  Let me break them down for you... I like 5 & 6! As of yesterday morning our little man is now weighing in at 5 pounds 1.7 ounces!!!  That means in just one month he has grown almost 2 pounds and is now the size of some regular term babies (albeit small ones).  Also, now that he is 5 pounds he can get in a carseat safely (which means we can take him home as soon as everything else is ready) and he is almost growing out of his preemie clothes!   Now on to 6...as of Wednesday afternoon they were able to finally move Logan down on his High Flow Nasal Cannula from level 7 to level 6.  I was a little worried how he would do on this but honestly he is doing better than when he was at level 7.  When I held him on Thursday he did the best he has ever done, he didn't drop his vitals too many times and f...

HOME!! - December 12, 2013

On my way home!! I am so excited to finally be able to write the post I have been waiting 2 months for...our little man has come home!!  The past week has been quite an eventful one but in the end we have our baby at home with us.  Logan made a ton of progress the last week in the hospital, moving to 8 bottles a day on Friday the 6th, moving off the cannula on Saturday the 7th and finally coming home exactly 2 months after he was born and 3 days after his original due date on Thursday, December 12th, weighing in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long!!  It is such a crazy and wonderful feeling to finally have him here with us and for the first time in 3 months not to be at the hospital!  There is this perfect and beautiful baby that has joined our daily lives and we couldn't be happier, I just love having my little family finally all together!!   The first night home was a little tough, I think I was just a little Mommy paranoid, checking every coupl...

A Bottle?!?! - November 19 - 21, 2013

So sleepy! The last couple of days have been pretty productive and exciting for us.  Our little man has made some great progress!  He has moved down to level 2 which means he is now on the low flow nasal cannula instead of the high flow and as of today he has tasted his first taste!   I think I like this new method of eating, it is so tasty!! Today was a big day and we had our first bottle feeding and I think that Logan did great.  The nurse had to do the first feeding and when we started out he had a couple of moments where he wasn't breathing as well as he should but after about 5 minutes he seemed to have it figured out.  He was able to take about 2/3 of his normal feeding (35 out of 51 cc's) and on a scale of 1 to 10 the nurse said he was an 8 for his first time.  From here on out we will be able to give him his bottles and I can't wait to see how he does with us.  They said that there is a chance they will add another bottle tomorrow to...
