Welcome to the world baby Logan. "A little change of plans" said Logan Saturday night. My mom, Emily and I went shopping Sat. morning and shopped til we dropped (at least me). As we were eating our McDonalds (not the best thing to eat while in labor) at 5:30 I started having some major contractions and they were only 5 minutes apart. Then they went to 3 mintues and I knew I was in labor. So, Patrick and I went to the hospital. We got there I was only dilated at a 2. So, we went walking for an hour. Not fun at all, my contractions we right on top of each other and my dinner was a lovely sight on the hospital floor. But when we got back to my room I was at a 4 and the doctor broke my water. Then I got my wonderful epidural. By the time he was done putting the epidural in I was at a 10 and ready to push. After about an hour and 45 minutes of pushing at 1:39 am Logan Patrick Elwell was in our arms weighing only 6 pounds and 20 inches long. All together I was in labor only 8 hours. All the reason to love my baby boy even more, he was very easy on me. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
