My name is Logan... but you can call me MANgo the boy wonder! Baby Week 23

Good Morning! Such an exciting day for Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Nathan! Our beautiful little niece was born at 4:40 yesterday and Piper is just wonderful. So alert and everything. What a joy to finally see her. However - know that in 17 weeks I'm going to be the one laying in that bed with a little baby in my arms is just crazy to me! I know that we are having a baby, but being busy with so many other things tends to distract me. We are SO happy for Kyle and Sarah and that the delivery went well. (Seriously - Sarah only pushed for 6 minutes - that is just absurd! That is like not even having to try!)



She is so perfect! She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz, but I don't know how long she was. They were going to do that when they gave her a bath and when I left they hadn't done that yet. Compared to Tommy's crazy long 22 inches we are thinking she is probably like 19 or 20. So was so alert and just such a curious little thing. I have lots of pictures - my set, my mom's set and Sarah's sister's set. Here are the links... feel free to look at whatever you want. It was a good time yesterday - lots of happy people!

Anyway - we picked out our nursery bedding the other night. So now we can pick paint colors for the nursery! Here is a link to what it looks like:




It was really easy to pick as it took us about 30 seconds once we got to the bedding section. Next is picking out the crib and setting up our registry in general! Craziness I tell you! Good think multi-tasking is something I tend to do well with.

So far everyone seems to like the name Logan Arthur and if they don't.... well we all know whose problem that is! :-D

So here is what little Logan is doing inside his mommy this week:

Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango). His skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare him for breathing. He can swallow, but he normally won't pass his first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze your baby when he hears them outside the womb.
