My dad and Emily finally got to hold Kaden. Oh and so did Kevin

A rare picture of Kevin with Kaden. Logan doesn't like it when Kevin holds Kaden. He doesn't mind if I hold Kaden , but kevin can't touch him.


Proud Emily

My dad finally got to hold Kaden.

Amanda's visit

Amanda came to visit me for a few days. It was great! I am really lucky to have a friend like her. We have been friends since eighth grade. She came to visit me when I had Logan and she didn't want to miss out on Kaden so she visited again. The boys are so lucky to have a serogate Auntie like Amanda. I really enjoyed her visit and was really sad to see her go. Both times she has showed up when I really needed her. I Love you Amanda and I am greatful to have you as my best friend.

A week before Kaden's arrival

Kaden's birth was a lot smoother than Logan's. It was a planned c-sect instead of an emergency one. I was able to get a good nights sleep the night before. I knew what to expect so I wasn't scared this time. I got to see Kaden right away I didn't get that with Logan. I just felt relaxed this time.

The down side was H1N1- Logan, My dad, Alex, and Emily were all sick so they couldn't visit. The hospital went into lock down @ five pm. So Leah, my mom, Judy, and Jason got in to see Kaden just before the hospital went into lockdown. Only one support person was allowed. We understood they hae to keep the babies safe from illness.
