Logan Joel Verver

It was a normal day yet felt this little voice telling me this was it and I needed to get my bags packed before work. I had been having contractions but nothing major, I honestly thought that they were just braxton hick - I had 15 days until my due date after all. I went to work and was feeling ok - they around 1 they started coming hard and fast - I knew that this little boy wanted to come out today. I called Kevin a few times and finally decided around 3 or 4 that I need to get home. So as soon a the dad came back - I drove us home - gripping the steering wheel and breathing through contractions - praying that traffic would be ok. I had Kevin call his mom - I got home and laid down just waiting to get to the hospital and get some relief from the pain. As soon as she got here we left and drove to the hospital - the drive isn't long but it felt a lot longer since I was in labor. Kevin dropped me off and I went in up to the 7th floor to get checked in. After I was settled they gave me something for the pain while I waited for the anesthesiologist. I got my epidural and not long after things got scary - Logan's heart rate had dropped and they needed to take me to have an Emergency c-section since it had been 5 minutes. So I was whisked off to the Operating room and Kevin had to stay in our room. They gave me oxygen and prepared me for the surgery when they checked his heartbeat and it come back up so were going to try to do get him out with out c-section - I had to push and the Dr would use the vacuum to help get him out. Within a few minutes little Logan Joel Verver was born only a few hours after I had checked in at 8:00 pm. They kept telling me I was so calm- I was just focused on getting Logan out safely - he was my main concern. Hearing him cry for the first time was the best sound after all the drama. He was 6 Lbs 6 Oz and 19 1/2 inches long and we are so happy he is part of our family. I can't wait to see what his personality will be like and if he will be small like Payton or more normal.
