objects are smaller than they appear





I am a little light headed from holding my breath for the last 9 days. Little Logan continues to work hard. The list of complications this little guy is up against is longer than he is (33cm last night)...but we continue to pray for a miracle. In the mean time, we watch him breathe every moment that we can.

And yesterday, Diana and I went SHOPPING! The Baby Boutique is located right down the hall from the NICU and it's a place where new moms can go to get the equipment they need to take care of themselves and these tiny babies. The clothing in the Baby Boutique comes in three sizes; micro, tiny and preemie. Right now Little Logan is about half the size of a micro..."yup; keep breathing little Buddy".

Grayson and Diana were told that they could bring Logan some bedding for his isolette so Diana was anxious to get something cute for him.
this is where Logan lives and breathes

The Baby Boutique has a great supply of cute, soft receiving blankets so that's what we set out to purchase yesterday in the afternoon. It was with cautious anticipation that we chose a package of receiving blankets to take back to the little guy.

While we were shopping, we saw the cutest little duck. This is significant because the NICU is divided into sections and Logan is in the DUCK row. His address for the next 10-14 weeks is DUCK 8. Plus, the Oregon Ducks won some kind of significant football game this past weekend so we thought it might be ok for him to have his very own lucky duck. And the duck was the smallest stuffed toy we have happened upon in the last little while. So we bought Logan his first toy-a duck! and carried it back to NICU.
Logan was given a duckie quilt when he arrived...

As we were tucking him into bed last night we decided to show him his new toy. Bear in mind, the duck is small. It is a little toy for a little boy.

So there you have it! Logan's first photo with his first stuffie.

Breathe and Grow Little Logan...you're going to want to haul that duck around at some point.

  5. Why have I just now found your blog? You've been holding out on me. I was so glad to find a place where I could get updates on baby Logan. Good luck with everything. We're thinking of you.
