After being quite stubborn and after 30 long hours of labor, Logan Joseph finally decided to grace us with his presence on Wednesday May 6th 2009 at 3:07am. He was no small boy, weighing in at a whopping 9lbs 9oz, 21inches long and a 15.4 inch head circumference. We certainly had to do our fair share of work (yes Joe was a huge help) to meet the little guy, but it was worth every hour of labor and every ounce of energy.
After staying 2 full days at the hospital (quite a godsend), our new little family headed home on Friday May 8th. Our first "baby", Dr. Pepper, was at Mel's parents while we were at the hospital. We decided to wait a couple of days before the ball of energy could come home so we could have some quiet and calm time to ourselves. We also wanted to establish that Logan was now a leader of "the pack" and that Dr. Pepper would have respect that. When he finally came home, he was super excited to see us (he had been away for 6 days) and he was exceptionally curious of Logan. There was much sniffing and licking...from Dr. Pepper that is.
