7 Years Ago

Seven years ago today, my baby munchkin(as I like to call him) came into this world. I am still trying to wrap my head around it. That my baby is 7! A walking, talking, reading, math-doing, funny little guy.

I spent 6 months sick as ever with him. He hardly ever moved but he sucked the life out of me. My hair was falling out, my nails were gone, I lost 25 lbs...one day I could eat one food and the next day I couldn't even think of it without becoming sick. I was convinced that I was having a girl. Even after the initial ultrasound that showed he was a boy, I thought they were wrong. I began to have growth ultrasounds starting at 34 weeks because of how big Wyatt had been born. From the start of the pregnancy I was told, depending on what they showed, I would be induced to prevent another big baby. Then the balloon busted. The Dr's met and decided against it. I remember crying to my midwife. Telling her how hard it was to recover from Wyatt. So imagine my surprise when I went in for my 35 week growth ultrasound and they told me he was about 9lbs 9oz!!
My midwife decided to do an exam just to 'see' if anything was progressing. Imagine her face & mine, when she told me I was 5cm dilated!!! She yelled at me to get upstairs to the labor deck. I told her I needed to go home and get my husband! lol When I came back to the house and grabbed my bag I told Dan that I was having him today, he didn't believe me. It wasn't until I stood at the door with my bag and putting shoes on Wyatt that he did.

Four hours later my Norm was born. A head full, and I mean a head full, of jet black hair. Not a peep was made by him. He was the quietest baby I've ever heard. He just curled right up with Momma...and went to sleep. It was love at first sight. He continues to be my little cuddler, my little partner...my snug bug.

Happy Birthday Logan!!!

**oh..the final weight 5 hours after the ultrasound....10lbs 10oz**** :)
