Hi all. Well, I never thought I would be doing this so soon. Jodi and I were expecting to be doing this in about 5 weeks.
At 12:33am this morning (Saturday, September 13, 2008), Jodi, Jared, Jordan (the dog) and I welcomed ANDREW LOGAN to our family. Due to arrive around October 19, Andrew decided he was ready to make his debut a little early. He weighed 4lbs. 14 oz. and was 18.5 inches long.
Jodi is doing fantastic for being only 16 hours post delivery. Because Andrew was about 5 weeks early, it is going to take him some time to be perfectly healthy and ready to go home. When he was first born, his breathing was a little fast and his blood sigar a little low. Now (16 hours old), his breathing is at normal levels and his blood sugar is perfect. He will have to show that he is able to gain weight, maintain his body temperature and other functions of full-term babies. He will be in the hospital for at least 5 days (waiting for some lab and blood cultures to come back). We have been told that he may stay in the hospital until his actual due date but that is certainly not definite. As soon as he can show that he is healthy enough to fully function on his own, we will take him home with us.
We hope everyone checks back here often for updates and we look forward to everyone being able to meet Andrew real soon.

Jared, Jodi and Michael,
Congratulations on that beautiful new baby boy of yours. We are so happy for you and hope all are doing well, including Judy and Steve. We hope that Andrew continues to improve and get strong enough to go home soon.
Great name!!!
Sending our love your way,

Great job Jodi and Michael. I hope you get him home soon cause I don't think his older brother can wait very long. He looks like he's gonna be a great helper too.
