Logan turns 2!!

Logan is 2! Time is going by so fast. STOP already!! I feel like we haven't had any time to enjoy Logan being a baby. He grew up so fast. Logan has been through a lot these last 2 years. You wouldn't look at the pictures and think he had any problems but...he does. At 6 weeks old he started wheezing. We took him to his Doctor who told us he had RSV; she put him on his first round of Steroids and breathing treatments. From there we had to find a Pediatric Pulminolgoist. We drove back and forth to Memphis to see Dr. Stokes who gave us different treatments to use in his Nebulizer. Nothing really helped so we had to take Logan to Lebohner Children's Hospital in Memphis to have a bunch of tests done. We spent 3 different days there getting tests and exploratory surgery done. All of the tests came back normal which is great except we still didn't know what was wrong. When we had exhausted all of our testing options we were told he would be labeled with Asthmatic tendencies. Which I really don't understand, but there it is. So the last 2 years have been filled with steroids, breathing treatments, and frantic late night trips to the ER because he stops breathing. We are told he should grow out of it by the time he turns 6 so here's to hoping. We are so greatful for Logan. We love him and the joy he brings to our home. He is so funny. He talks so much and can get into trouble very quickly, but it is so funny that it's hard to get made at him. He is in a big boy bed now and can get over the gates so my house is free game now. I feel like I'm chasing after them all day trying to maintain some order and cleanliness. Here are a few picture of the last 2 years with Logan. ENJOY!

Dec. 3rd 2007. 11:00AM 9lbs 11ozs, 20 inches long. Logan's delivery was excellent! Due to Sam's birth I had to have a C-section and let me tell you they are the way to go!! We went in at 7am and hung out in a room until about 10:30. They came and got us; we walked to the OR and I got my spinal and they went to town. I was super nervous about the spinal just because I don't like needles and since I was not in pain I didn't want to be stuck. I think Jeff (who gave me the shot) was bugged I kept shaking, but I couldn't stop. I did the same thing when I was in labor with Sam, shaking uncontrollably. I'm not sure why but I was. Two nurses had to hold me still so he could get it in right. Once it was in and started to work I was great. I was nauseous but he tilted the table a bit so it was better. I remember the smell, It was AWFUL!! I kept asking Dave if he could smell it but he was trying not to talk about it. I think he was trying to keep down his breakfast. Dr. Rothrock who delivered Logan was great. Logan's head was so big that she couldn't get him and her hand out at the same time, so she ended up using the vacuum to get him out. It was scary, it really sounded like she was sucking him out with a vacuum. He had a huge bump on his head for almost 2 months. But he wasn't mangled like Sam so I loved it.

5 months old. Some friends have a little one less than a month younger than Logan, They bought here a Bumpo, to help her sit up. Poor Logan's legs are SO fat that he can't even weasel his way in there. We got him this far and then we had to use 2 of us to get him out. This may give him a complex later in life but it is SO funny.

Logan loved this hat. He had to wear it every where we went. Because of his breathing problems we kept him bundled up all the time. Here we are leaving a store. He is so cute and that smile melts your heart. I love that he is SO chubby that you almost can't see his eyes!

1st Birthday. Still not much hair but which makes him look more chubby, but he was in 2T in this picture.

2nd Birthday! He was SO excited to blow out his candles! We did it at least 10 times. Looking at the picture now he is trying to blow them out, but is really just spitting on the computer.

Sam got Logan a hat that matches his for his birthday. He loves hats! He looks So good in them too. He didn't even care about opening any of the other presents he just wanted to hold them. He is SO CUTE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN, WE LOVE YOU!!!
