A New Addition...

So it's January 3 and I am finally getting around to starting a blog. Things have been really busy around the Dunwoody house!

Logan Thomas made his arrival on December 2nd, 2009. He made sure to make his entrance an exciting one! I started having contractions on December 1 around 1:30 A.M. I made it until about 5:30 and told Tom we should go to the hospital. My contractions were still too far apart, but were getting stronger! They sent us home to "labor it out" and boy, was that fun:-) Tom took care of me all day while my contractions got closer and much stronger. We went back to the hospital at around 6 that evening and got checked in. We waited up all night for his arrival...well, mom, dad and Tom waited up all night... I fell fast asleep after my friend Dr. Burris put my epidural in:-) At 5:30 Wednesday morning, it was finally time to push! Logan announced his presence at 6:58 A.M. But we weren't in the clear- Logan had a small pneumothorax (air bubble between lungs and rib cage) and was burning a low grade fever. So he was immediately taken down to the NICU. He spent a total of 6 days in the NICU. Everything is wonderful now, but those first couple of days were a little scary. He was the best Christmas present ever for us. We are so in love with him!! He is now a month old and couldn't be healthier! Here are a few pics from the past month.

This is right before Logan was taken down to the NICU. He was so big and beautiful!!

Logan: Day 1 of NICU. He was hooked up to all kinds of monitors and had an IV in his left arm. Tom said the pad on his arm made him look like a hockey player!

Logan loves his Boppy pillow and doing "tummy time"... Isn't he cute??

This was our first "family photo".. Taken at Fire Station 3.

Just hanging out with his Pooh Rattle:-)

Getting ready to head out for Mommy's birthday dinner at Texas De Brazil in downtown Fort Worth!

Scott, Tom and Logan

As you can see from the pictures, we had some visitors over the Christmas holiday break! Tom's mom, Tricia and her husband Pete came down to spend a week with their new grandson and were here for his first Christmas.

After Christmas, Tom's dad Scott, his wife, Susan and brothers Ben and Pete came down to ring in the new year with us!

It was really nice to have everyone come down and spend time with their new grandson! I know Logan enjoyed all of the attention he got!!

Now, it's back to reality. School starts tomorrow for me, and Tom has to be back at work as well. So Logan will be heading to my parents for daycare. We are so lucky that my parents have offered to help us out! He'll be in good hands and close enough to the both of us if we wanted to go see him during the day. I am so not ready to go back to work, but I know it will get easier as time goes on.

Well, time to get organized and ready for the week ahead! Until next time...
