He's Here!

After a long last month of pregnancy- and no internet to update the blog, we have a beautiful baby boy! Logan James Waller was born on July 16th. He weighed seven pounds two ounces and was 19 inches long and looks just like his daddy!

My awesome sister came to Rio Rancho at the end of June because I was told that I probably would not make it to my due date of July 14th. Boy were they wrong! After a week of her being here and waiting, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We walked up hills, I ate certain types of food, bounced on an excersise ball, played the Wii Sport (PS I ROCK at the hula hoop game) and still nothing. Three and a half weeks later I finally went into labor! I have never been so excited to go to the hospital and be in pain! After a night and half a day in the hospital we finally had our boy!

Mike and my sister were in the delivery room. It was the most surreal and amazing thing I have ever (and will ever) gone through in my entire life. I was so glad to have their support. Nothing will ever compare to the bond we all have now with each other. I feel so blessed to not only have had my husband and sister share the experience with me but at the same time my two best friends. Mike's parents waited the whole night too and were so excited to welcome their first grandchild into the world. Later that day everyone else came pouring in to see us including my mom. It may not be her first grandchild, but I've never seen her so happy! We've and a ton of people visit us at home too, including Mike's grandmother. This is her first great-grandchild. She was so over joyed to see him. I was so excited to see her so happy. Logan is so lucky to have so many people love him so very much already! I have a feeling he's going to be very spoiled!

Unfortunatly, because he made his appearance so late, Aunt Sissy had to go home when he was just a few days old. It broke both our hearts! Luckily, the internet is a great thing and although it's not the same at least Aunt Sissy can get a picture everyday!

The last two weeks have been been a tired blur but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world! I knew I would love him and I knew I would be happy but I never thought it would be like this. No other feeling compares to what it like to be someone's mommy! I think my sister said it best, "How can you love someone so much that you just met?" She's so right.
