Jayden’s Birth Day

Jayden’s birth was a scheduled c-section on December 15th 2011. The overall process was much more relaxed than what we went through with Chase’s birth (scheduled induction, then a c-section). We checked into the hospital around 9am and then I was hooked up to an IV, baby heart rate monitor and put into a “stall” in the recovery room. Our nurse was very nice and made us feel comfortable. In 2 hours I was in the surgery room and back in the recovery room stall where Tanner and Jayden were waiting for me. This was a pleasant change from when I had Chase. At that time, I was in a recovery room all by myself. This time Tanner and Jayden could wait with me and I could try breast-feeding immediately.

Jayden Sayuri Logue was born around 11am and weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz and was 18.5 inches long. We were amazed at how tiny she was and we thought that she looked like Chase when he was born~

Chase opened his two presents from Jayden, a big brother book and hot wheels. His baby sister had officially and completely bought his love~

From the beginning, Chase was a loving and sweet big brother. He didn’t show any signs of jealousy and just wanted to be near the baby~


The Endows came to visit~


Jayden will definitely let you know when she needs something. She does not like a wet diaper (won’t tolerate a drop of wetness) or to be hungry~

Tanner was grinding as usual and multi-tasking – checking work email and holding the baby~


We noticed that Jayden has tiny feet, especially when we remember how big Chase’s feet were on his birth day~

I remember being swollen and tired after the c-section. However, a pleasant surprise came when Jayden appeared to be a good latcher. I had such a hard time breastfeeding with Chase that I was prepared with a bottle and formula just in case. Tanner spent the night in the hospital with me and Jayden, while Chase went back home with my mom. Then the endless cycle of feeding and changing diapers began…the burden was eased a bit by the fact that we were already head over heels in love with Jay.
