Feeling Much Better!

Logan and I are almost fully recovered...Logan is just sneezing and coughing a bit.

:P

I guess I was being a bit optimistic in my last post....Logan is still sick. Coughing, sneezing, throwing up and making a unbelievable amount of laundry for me to do. As for me; I'm trying to find the time to recover...

:P

UPDATE:
I drove myself to the emergency room this morning around 2am and left Allan at home with Logan.
Blood tests and CAT scan confirmed that I have a kidney stone and somethings up with my pancreas. :(
Luckily Logan doesn't seem as sick anymore...
Being the Super Mom that I am, I've got the situation on lock-down and no back-up is necessary...

Oh boy...

So Logan is now officially sick.

Since this afternoon he has been coughing, sneezing, spitting up and has a seemingly endless supply of snot and baby boogies. He's not full out crying (thank goodness!) but he's very fussy, needs extra cuddling and has been awake for way longer periods than normal.

And just to spice things up a bit -I think I might have another kidney stone. I am legendary for my kidney stone timing...The first one hit me while writing a university exam -so painful that my vision went blurry. The second one hit just as we crossed the boarder into the states on vacation with Allan's parents. Normally the incredible pain in the lower back is soon followed up with throwing up and all around miserableness. So far it's just the pain and miserableness. Luckily I have a bottle of pain medication that they gave me after delivering Logan that I didn't bother taking. They say that the three most painful things are gun shot wound, kidney stones and giving birth -I'm pretty sure it's in that order.

Allan called in sick on Friday, so having him stay home isn't really an option yet. Depending on how tonight and tomorrow goes I might have to call in the backup -Logan's grandparents...

Visiting the Grandparents

This Sunday we made the trip to Kitchener-Waterloo to visit Logan's Grandparents and to meet his Great Grandparents.

Still sick...

When I went to feed Logan this morning around 3:30am he was sneezing out baby-boogies and a was a bit warm. We set up the humidifier in his room but he hasn't really shown any other signs of being sick. Allan on the other hand is still pretty sick and has spent most of the afternoon sleeping. As for me -just a cough now.


When Logan is all chilled out and happy he makes his Zoolander face...Future male model?

Or maybe he just takes after his parents??

Sick Day

Today Allan and I are of massively sick with killer colds -hot, achy, coughing and sneezing. I thought that Logan would be sick too. Last night he was breathing differently...then he sneezed out a the world's largest baby boogie and now seems fine.

How I got my name...

Many, many years ago after having our pictures merged into our future child at Dave and Busters we named our son Murlan. Very fob, I know.

Muriah + Allan = Murlan.

For years we would refer to our future child as Murlan. Then after the ultrasound when we found out we were now really going to have a son, we started to rethink this name....not so cool.

However, this was the name to beat. After Allan went though all the possible basketball names (Shaq, Jordon, Kobe) he moved on to superhero names. Apparently Logan is the real name of Wolverine.

I liked the name Logan as I had seen the movie called Logan's Run and it was one of the old science fiction books that I inherited from my grandfather. Also the name is Gaelic/Welsh, which is my grandfathers background.

Here is a picture from the movie. Oh so sexy!

I'm Two weeks Old!

Logan had his two week doctor appointment today...

Height: 51 cm

Weight: 7.6 lbs

Head: 35 cm

To celebrate Logan's two week mark, we went out for All-You-Can-Eat Sushi as a family. Finally I could eat all the sashimi and sushi I wanted that was banned when I was pregnant.

New Friends!

Auntie Sarah and her adorable sister, Amani, stopped by to meet Logan. Amani's picture of Logan looked remarkably like Logan and she also made a bracelet for him.


Later that night friends and family stopped by to see Logan and watch the UFC fight. Here is Tita Julie, cousin Xyris and Auntie Vicki hanging out.
Here is Tita Julie giving Tito Phil a lesson on baby carrying -they've got to practice as their little one will be here in a few months!
