Oh, darling...

"Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little"

--Taylor Swift (Never Grow Up)

2 Years Old
This past Tuesday my little boy turned two!
It breaks my heart to see him growing up so quickly!
I wish he was a newborn again!

I threw a mini Toy Story party for Logan. Toy Story is Logan's newest "obsession"! We wanted to go home for his birthday but with the new house and our jobs it wasn't going to happen. My mom and sister came out for his birthday too! He was super excited when they got here! I made his favorite dinner of homemade mac-n-cheese and it was followed up by chocolate cupcakes! We then opened his presents, which happened to be ALOT easier than unwrapping Christmas presents.

Birthday pancakes!

"You got a friend in me"

Holy whiteness, Batman! Ha!
Logan's birthday "cake"

There were pictures of present time but I never uploaded them! Oops!

I know he probably won't remember his 2nd birthday but I know he had an awesome birthday! I mean, seriously, with a Toy Story theme, what boy wouldn't?!

When It Rains...

It pours, literally and in a manner of speaking! Today was a pretty rainy and yucky day...After working last night and getting only 3 or so hours of sleep I had to get ready for my long awaited ob visit! Let's say it would've been a good visit had the following not occurred. I had to bring Logan with me and at this visit (my second mind you) I was told that the office had a policy about kids under 12 coming in. I was taken back by this but then they told for vag exams only. Okay I get that. I can live with that. A few minutes later I was told that Logan had to be restrained, that he couldn't bang on the door or the walls. Ok. (I'm already tired, hormonal, and ticking).  So I restrain my son by having him sit on my lap and what does any strong-willed child do? Scream and cry for freedom. They later asked me if I could quiet him down..Really? Really?! How would they like me to do that? I was asked if I could take him outside! Um, no. It's raining and cold and I'm here for an appointment. Thankfully Chris was on his way but he didn't make it there in enough time to save myself and the office from a complete. utter. meltdown. I cried and then yelled and told them I wanted a new doctor. I later composed myself and continued my appointment but I believe I will be looking for a new ob/gyn. In my entire life of going to doctors and working in doctor's offices I've never heard nor asked a patient to quiet and/or restrain their child. EVER!

Oh, how I missed Logan's ob dr. just then! I would've given anything to have my laid back, very tardy, doctor back! I would wait in his office for four hours for my 9 AM appointment if only I could go back to NJ and have him again! The one good thing about this visit is that I lost 6 pounds!! 6!!! The other good thing about today's appointment was better when I was told I could go for my ultrasound, which, at that point I hadn't cared much for going to because I was upset, exhausted, and just wanted to crawl into my bed again. The ultrasound wait wasn't long and even though Logan was loud and obnoxious no one asked him to be quiet.  We went into the most amazing ultrasound room I've ever been in and this is what I saw on the screen:

It made everything ok, watching him/her moving around like crazy and seeing all it's parts where they needed to be! And of course I asked if there was just one baby! Yes, there's only ONE! Haha!

13 Weeks & Project Time!

Today marks 13 weeks, woo! 

After next week, we'll be done with the 1st trimester!

It's also 8 days until Logan turns 2!!

Can you believe it?

I sure can't!

Here's what 13 weeks looks like:

Today I'm also doing a project at home.

I probably shouldn't be painting but I can't sit idle

and wait for Chris to do it!

It's a closet in the bonus room.

I'm still unsure how I will use it but the plan

for right now is a storage area for my scrapbook supplies.

I wanted to put a counterspace in there but I don't think

there's enough room for all my stuff and a countertop.

We'll see! There's horrible lighting in there so I'm planining

on changing that too!

Hope you all have a great week!

Pink or Blue, We Don't Know!

It's true!

We don't know and won't know

until around September 13th!

Which puts us around 12 weeks!

We're pretty excited!

Things this time around are a lot different.

For one I have an extreme aversion to food.

Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Chicken in particular!

Chris pretty much makes food for him and Logan =(

Except for coffee, which is a favorite now,

 as well as, apples & oranges too!

I actually bought some maternity clothes.

I refuse to wear man-wear for 9 months.

I probably won't take pics of myself again.

I'm really self-conscious as it is! Ha!

Here's what 12 weeks looks like:

Springtime in the South?

This week, so far, has been the perfect temperatures! Just warm enough to open the windows and take walks without needing the mittens, hats, and winter gear, but cool enough that you can spend it outside in jeans and tee-shirt. I LOVE IT!!!

Logan and I took nice walks today and yesterday! It made me want to go to a nursery, buy some flowers, and start planting. First things first though, the inside of my house needs to be organized and put away! So, here are some pretty spring pictures!

23 Months!

23 months!

Where is the time going?

I wish I could stop time.

What you've been up to:
You've been talking so much more clearer and saying so many more words.

You LOVE your Buzz and Woody dolls.

You enjoy going to "school" & I love the reports and stuff you make.

You're definitely much more defiant, a trait of wanting independance.

We converted your crib to a toddler bed. So far so good!

You love your puppy, your puppy loves you, but you can both be handfuls!

You learned the words "my" and "mine". Everything is yours!

You have great taste in a variety of genres when it comes to music, thanks to me =)

Anything with cheese is your favorite food!

Even though you continually change one thing, for sure, that doesn't is that Mommy & Daddy both love you.

Happy Valentine's Day ♥

Happy Valentine's Day!

We spent our day moving and we're finally in our house!

Our dinner was at Panera Bread, with Logan, but who cares we're home.

Aside from moving these were my favorite things about today:

Roses from Chris

(Please excuse the chaos going on in this picture)

 A card from my baby that he made at "school"

My baby in a converted crib!! We're hoping he gets it.

So far so good!

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.
