Logan's Blessing

Thanksgiving weekend, turned out to be a busy time....along with hosting family for the holiday, we also decided to bless Logan that Sunday. And to top that off, the bishopric had asked me to speak in church that Sunday. (yuck!) I hate to speak in church. It's always so stressful for me to prepare the talk and I'm just not a very good speaker period. The interesting thing is, prior to being asked, I'd been thinking about how blessed I am, and just feel very grateful for all the blessings I have, especially having this new little one in our home, and the topic of my talk was to be based on the message given by President Monson titled "Joy in the Journey". Finding joy in our lives and being grateful for what we have, here and now.
It was almost like the whole experience of trying to become pregnant coming full circle.
The blessing went very well and I got through my talk, very emotionally I have to say, but I got through it.

I do feel very grateful for all that I have....I come from a wonderful family, I married into a wonderful family and I have a wonderful family, and it doesn't get much better than that!

Logan Porter Ellsworth

He is now just about 2 months old and doing great. When we first brought him home we really struggled with the sleeping at night, as he was up just about every hour and a half to eat. I felt like a zombie all day and tried to sleep when I could, but when you lose sleep there is no catching up. After the 5th week, he started to do better and would sleep for 3 hours at a time, which was much better.

He now does almost 4 hours at a time and sometimes even 5. He still eats like crazy! and is huge! But he is sweet and we are all so happy he's here.
