HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!

ONE YEAR AGO
Logan Christopher Suchan was born January 21st, 2010 at 7:58pm. He weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz and has brought joy to our hearts and home since we found out we were expecting. It is crazy how life has changed since a blue eyed, giggly little boy has joined our family.

I will never forget the day he was born. After being on bed rest for a week and a half for high blood pressure(so frustrating!) Doctor Kinghorn told us it was time to have our little boy! I was so excited, nervous, and ready to get him here. We left our apt at 6:20am so we could be to the hospital by 7:00am.

This is what I looked like a year ago!

Shortly after arriving I was put on Pitocin to get things going. While we waited for the big arrival we watched movies, played games, and talked about getting our little man here. After the doctor came, checked me and broke my water there was not much watching, playing or talking. I got the epidural shortly after that! Ha! After 11 hours of being on Pit, little progress, and counsel from our doctor we made the decision to have a c-section. The doctors and nurses were amazing. They were so kind, skilled, and fast! We made the decision at 7:00pm and Logan was here just 58 minutes later. I will never forget the sound of Logan's first cry, so sweet. All I could do was cry. The doctor that came around and showed Logan to me for the first time was so small. Logan looked HUGE! Logan was whisked away and weighed, wiped off, and then wrapped up and handed to his daddy. While the doctors were finishing my handsome boys sat with me. I just couldn't stop looking our at new little blessing. We went from a family of 2 to a family of 3, I was a mom!

The next 2 hours were a blur of nurses, shivering, family and emotion. Both grandparents came to see the newest addition to our family that night along with the Olsen's and the Hansen's.

The nurse took Chris upstairs to the nursery to give Logan his first bath. He still loves to get his head scrubbed.

At midnight that night we were all finally in our room safe and sound. Our little Logan was finally here! January 21st was the day we became parents and a day we will never forget. We love our Logan!

ONE YEAR OLD
The last year Logan has grown like a weed and learned so much. Here are a few pictures of his 1st Birthday!

We turned his car seat around! It is a whole new world.

We went out to lunch with daddy at Subway.

We had Logan's favorite for dinner-Fajitas. He finally tipped his sippy cup all the way up so he could drink his milk. Chris mimicked him and he thought it was SO FUNNY! He just laughed and laughed.

It has only been a year and Logan has learned so much. He has gone from no control over his hands and feet to high 5's and walking. From only crying and involuntary "oooo's" to saying "mamamama" and "daddy?" From a little baby to a big boy toddler. We sure love our little guy and are so grateful he is in our lives!

Happy Birthday Logan!
