Logan Thomas Wilde

Our little boy Logan Thomas finally came on Tuesday March 6 at 5 am! My due date wasnt until the 11th but since Dane was a few weeks early I though that it would be the same this time.
Monday night I was working and felt the first few contractions at about 9-930. They were pretty consistent but really tolerable so I just shrugged it off. I tried going to sleep but was paranoid that I was in labour so after googling all about contractions and how to know if your in labour or not I decided around 12 to start timing them. They were about 7-8 minutes apart and not that bad. I really didn't want to wake Dane and my parents up, take Dane over there,get all the way to the hospital and get sent home. So I kept waiting. At 3:30 the contractions were a lot stronger so Den decided we should go. We took Dane to my parents and were at the hospital by 4 ish. When we got to the hospital the contractions were pretty intense! After my water broke I was only 3cm. But I knew that meant I could get an epidural! So we walked to the delivery room, I got an IV and then I felt like I had to push all within 30 minutes of my water breaking.
The nurse checked and said " well there's good news and bad news" I knew right away that the baby was coming and that I wouldn't be getting an epidural.
A few minutes after that Logan was born. I didnt end up having to push once and embarrassed myself by screaming ( I couldn't help it lol) He came so fast that the Dr didn't get there til 15 minutes after.















(phone pictures.. I'll add the other ones later)
He is a wonderful baby. I forgot how much they sleep! Dane is a good big brother so far. He gives Logan kisses and hugs and shares his trucks and cars with him so well! Dane feels like such a big boy now! My baby isn't my baby anymore which makes me kinda sad. Dane and Logan are 18 months apart so I hope they become best friends.
There is so much that comes with having a baby. A lot of stuff you don't learn about until you've actually had one. I did a lot of research before Logan was born to make recovering easier since I have a baby at home already. So for my friends that are about to be moms for the first or second time, here's 3 must haves that you should know about.
I am a little shy about sharing this so hopefully someone appreciates it lol!
1. Dermoplast - you can only buy it in the states. It's 9.99 a bottle at Walgreens. Get the blue can not red.





2. Tucks Pads - witch hazel helps with swelling and a bunch of other stuff. Generic brands are cheaper.





3. Heat pack instead of ice or ice in the first 24 hours and heat after that. ( You can buy disposable heat packs at the dollar store)
