Opinions needed

I need to get a carrier for Logan and am debating between 2 kinds. Since most of you who read this have kids I figured I'd ask for your advice.

Option 1: Front carrier that he can face in or out
OR
Option 2: Carrier that can be front or back

Tell me which you think would be better!

I am also nearing my 6wk checkup. My dr had mentioned an IUD when he checked on me the day after I had Logan. So now I'm debating between and IUD and the pill. I've never had a problem on the pill but since I'm nursing I would have to take a different kind. What do you think?

And here's the family picture we took this past weekend. This is Craig's mom's side of the family, his dad doesn't really have any family (he grew up in foster care). I have a huge family so family gatherings with his fam seem so quiet, especially since 5 of the people in the picture are never at them!



These are all the grandchildren/great grandchildren and spouses. Me, the dark haired girl, and the guy in blue t-shirt are the spouses. Logan, other baby, and 2 young girls are the great grandchildren.

Weekend

This weekend we went to C's parents house. Logan got to meet his great grandpa, all his great aunts/uncles, and all his cousins, etc. It was a good time. A little crazy for the little man I think since he was passed from 1 person to the next all weekend. We took a whole family picture since everyone was there which doesn't happen too often. (I'll post that once I get a copy) Here's a few pictures.

Logan in his Washington State (where Craig went) jersey which is way too big but dad insisted on making him wear it for the game

Heart

We saw the cardiologist yesterday and his heart looks good. The spot that they were concerned with is no longer there which is fantastic! They said it either went away on it's own or that it was artifact from the ultrasound. Either way it's no longer there so I don't care! Happy my little man is looking healthy!

1 month

Logan had his 1 month check-up yesterday. Dr said he looks good and is nice and strong. We had him circumsized last week which was painful to watch and we were stuck with a cranky, clingy baby for a couple days afterwards. We see the cardiologist tomorrow to check the heart stuff they saw on my ultrasounds again.

Here are the 1 month stats:
9 lb 8 oz
21 3/4 in
37cm head
50% for all

My mom came out to visit for a few days this past week. It was nice for her to get to meet the little man.

We are going down to C's parent's this weekend. It will be our first night away from home so we will see how that goes.

I'm starting to get a little stir crazy being at home all the time. Unfortunately the weather has been rainy and crappy so we haven't been able to get out for walks or anything. We have gone to dinner several times and the mall a couple times. Logan does pretty well, likes to sleep when he is in his carseat so I guess that is good.

I go back to work 4/4. It will be here before I know it! Luckily, I will be going to the same clinic that I was at beforeI had him. It's nice and close to home and they are flexible with dr appts and stuff. Plus if I don't have patients they don't care if I leave early which is always nice.

3 wks

Logan will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. So far he is a pretty good baby but is starting to fuss and scream a bit more. He still likes to sleep all day and stay awake all night which is wearing on me.

His auntie Amy came to visit last week. It was a pretty mellow visit. We did venture out for lunch and to the mall one day. Of course Logan slept the entire time we were out.

We had him circumsized today. It was painful to watch! And he was not a happy camper. We went back and forth about if to do it. Ultimately I left the decision up to Craig and he decided to do it. On the plus side Logan weighed in at 8 lb 11 oz.

My mom is comming to visit this week. It will be nice to see her and for her to meet Logan. This again will likely be a quiet visit.

Next week will be filled with dr appts. He has his 1 month check-up and we have the follow-up with the cardiologist for an echo. Keep your fingers crossed that this one looks good.

Newborn photos

We had newborn photos taken of Logan when he was 3 days old. I got the cd of them yesterday and they turned out super cute. Unfortunately, the ones of the 3 of us aren't very good but oh well. I'm having a hard time uploading them so here are a couple to get you started.
