Last night was challenging. Logan fell asleep and awoke very soon after putting her down about 10+ times. We did this for a little over 2 hours and I was tired. I think so was she. Poor girl just wanted to sleep but somehow couldn’t get in the groove. My boobs were drained of milk and I knew she wasn’t hungry as she’d been nursing for almost 2 full hours, and feeding her more...
I feel like I’ve been officially indoctrinated into motherhood. Last night, during Logan’s 4am diaper change, I noticed that she was a little gassy. So I decided to let her fart up a storm before putting a new diaper on her. She sometimes poops a little bit when she toots—sharts, if you will, and I didn’t want to waste a clean diaper. Why I didn’t just leave the old...

-Started pumping yesterday and bottle-fed Logan today—she took to it like a champ! I’m planning on giving her a bottle once a day to start, then twice. I need to figure out how often to pump since I don’t want my supply to skyrocket!
-Also, I cannot stop shopping for cloth diapers. It’s pretty bad. I think it’s because we (I) love it so much that I just can’t...

Cloth diapers..
mysocalledttclife replied to your photo: It’s been a fussy 12 hours. I think Logan’s going…
Well that’s just precious!! (LOVE the name btw!) Are you using cloth diapers?
*************************************************
Yes, we are using cloth diapers on Logan. The first couple of weeks we used disposables just because the cloth ones were too big and would rub on her umbilical cord stump,...
Logan is 11 days old and below is a list of things we couldn’t live without thus far:
1) Lansinoh lanolin—I’ve mentioned sore nipples and it’s getting better by the day (hallelujah!) and the lanolin has really helped soothe them.
2) Aden + Anais swaddle blankets— Logan actually doesn’t mind not being swaddled so we use these as blankets mostly. And to cover...
Today is Logan’s due date. It’s crazy to think that for the past 9 months I’ve been looking forward to this date and now it’s here! Logan’s taking a nap and I’m trying to get some shut eye but it’s not working. I’m thinking sitting on the couch still counts as rest though.
Logan is now 9 days old. Her umbilical cord stump fell off overnight. She...
Postpartum Thoughts
I’m finally getting a little bit of a quasi-routine going. Right now, Logan is swinging and I’ve just had breakfast. Not too bad! And, I’m only getting to listen to the labor mix I put together for labor day. We did bring our iPod the works to the hospital but I ended up not wanting to listen to music when I was in labor and preferred quiet and easy conversation with Joe and our...
Logan Eve was born today at 5:01am. She’s 7lbs and 13oz and 19in. I’m so exhausted and deliriously in love. Pic soon. And thank you for the well wishes!
Things are happening. Contractions have been coming about every 5-10 minutes since around midnight last night and I haven’t had any sleep. There’s also been bloody show. Bags are packed. Doula’s been notified.
I hope this is it.
I can do this.
