19 weeks and 19 months! Happy New Years!

So I am officially nineteen weeks pregnant. It is just flying by so fast. I have gained about 3 pounds and you still can not tell I am pregnant. I have a very teeny tiny baby bump as of now. She is such an active little one. I started feeling her kicks at 14 weeks, Rory could feel them at about 17 weeks and at 18 weeks you could see them very clearly on my stomach. She is very full of energy. She kicks most when Logan is cuddling mama or Rory is rubbing my belly. Logan LOVES kissing her. I am scheduled for our 2nd ultrasound next week to check on her health and make sure she is growing correctly and check her heart and brain and bones. I am always more nervous than excited for ultrasounds, but it will be good to see her again.

Logan is now nineteen months and talking like a mad man. His new favorite words are apple, soft, dog, and he is learning names. He can say Knox but it sounds most like Kno, he can say Reily, but he says Ryee, and Reece he says Ree! He can tell us the sounds that different animals make, the sound a train makes, and he can tell me what sounds the letter A, B and S make. He is just getting so smart. He is still extra petite so the doctors are monitoring his weight gain. I think he just takes after daddy and will be tall and skinny! His favorite foods are spaghettios, ice cream and pizza. Typical boy :) He is now no longer wanting to sleep with mama and dada. In fact, if we put him in bed with us while he sleeps, he will not sleep through the night. He is so independent. He likes to sleep alone. Big boy! I hate it and love it at the same time!

We took Logan to the bounce house again last week for our little family date. He is so fun to watch. He loves to try and jump and has a love hate thing going with going down the slides by him self.

New Years was a lot of fun. We went to some friends house for the first half of the night and hung out with them for a bit, than we were off to my moms for the rest of the night. Logan loves going to Grandma Connies! We watched the ball drop and than watched off my moms balcony at all of the fireworks. It is so cool to see the whole valley celebrating!

Rory is now almost finished with school! He has about a month left. He took very well to welding, it almost came naturally to him. His teachers are so impressed with how good he is already! I am super duper proud of him.

We are now only 500 dollars away from reaching our goal down payment for a house. We will continue to save until we have to use it.

My new years resolution is to be the best mom I can be, be the best wife I can be and to get into a house. I know with my awesome husband by my side anything we want will happen. I also hope to acheive the lose this babys pregnancy weight at the end. I loved being at 100 pounds and will be excited to get back there!

Rory is at work right now but will be home in a few hours. I truly miss him every time he leaves. Its so funny how in love with eachother we still are and how much it continues to grow. I am just so happy with my life and all the he has given me.


Here is to another great year! Bring it on 2012!
