New day New ways!

Well, my morning sickness seems to have let up a bit. I know I am going to jinx my self but hey, I need to brag a little. Instead of puking four times a day, it is down to one or two, for the last two days! Yay! I do feel extra tired though, which I think is due to chasing around my little man and being pregnant. Being pregnant and being a mom to an almost toddler is a lot different than being pregnant with no kids. But, it is so worth it and so fun too. I love when Logan gives baby kisses and loves. Yesterday we went to John and Tiffs and had hot chocolate, home made soup and watched movies while the kids played. It was a fun time and I love hanging out with them. Today, we took Logan to Petco to look at all the animals. He LOVED it. He loves birds and cats. He is so funny. Than we took him to the Halloween store, he laughed at some things and freaked about others. He is getting so big. Tonight, Reece, my little brother and my niece Presley and step-nephew Cameron are sleeping at our place. Logan LOVES Reece. They are best friends. He also loves Presley and Cameron. It is so fun to interact with other kids. He is talking like crazy and he loves to sing twinkle twinkle little star.

Rory,
It was awesome watching you interact with Logan while teaching him about the reptiles and animals. He is so much like you in so many ways. You guys even pull the same faces. I love when you kiss Logan, me and baby goodbye before you leave any where. I love that you are so supportive and go get any craving I want. I love when you hug me for no reason and tell me how pretty I am. I love you.

Logan,
You loved looking at all the pets today. Especially the cats, birds and lizards. You learn to fast. Listening to you try and have conversations with us is so funny. You love your Uncle Reece and you guys play so well. Thanks for being the best little boy ever.

Baby Hoffman,
I have been thinking a lot about what you are lately. I am thinking girl, but I will love you no matter what. I just want you to be healthy and happy. You already bring all of us so much joy and happiness. Your big brother loves you already.

Yesterday, not so much the best. My morning sickness is getting worst. It lasts from about 10 in the morning to sick at night with non stop puking. Luckily, Rory took care of Logan and I am gave in to my cravings and bought me sticky fingers from wingers :) Than he went and bought me a bunch of smart waters. It wasn't such a great day but Rory made it so much easier on me. Friday, we are hopefully taking Logan on a little date to get ice cream and watch Lion King. I think he is going to love it. We have started our Christmas list for him. I am so excited!

Rory,
You take such good care of me. You make me feel beautiful even when I am puking my brains out. You make sure I get my vitamins and you just care for me so much. I love you and I am so thankful for you.

Logan,
Today, while I had my daily puking session, you didn't cry like usual. Instead, you told me "Dont!" Over and over while shutting the toilet lid and flushing it. You also tried copying me a few times and laughed. You loved the rain though. You kept opening our back door and running out side to play in it. I have to keep ALL doors locked now. You have become professional at opening it.

Baby Hoffman,
I hope you are doing okay in there. Mommy is not able to keep much down, but I am trying my hardest for you. You make me crave the silliest things. Newest one is rootbeer popsicles.

Birthdays

Yesterday was a great day. Rory took the morning off to come with me to my ultrasound. Everything looks great! He had us scared because he said he could see two flickers which usually indicates twins, but when he looked more into it he said he is sure there is only one. The bummer about it was that I am not as far a long as the doctor thought. I am only about 6 weeks 2 days, which means, this little baby is due on Logans original due date, May 28th. We are a little shocked, we thought we had planned around this but whats meant to be will happen I guess! We also found out I had group strep b which they cant do anything about til I am in labor. It shouldnt trnsfer to the baby but if it does there are some potential problems. Rory had to work 2-10 at night so I went and cooked dinner at my moms house and hung out with every one there. It was nice. Logan is finally getting back on his sleep schedule. FINALLY. Lol. Here is a few moments.

Rory,
Today you helped me drink 36 oz.'s of water and hold it in for 3 hours. Yea it hurt like crazy but you did everything you could to help me get through lol! I saw your face light up when we got to see our little bean and I loved watching you hold Logan a little tighter. Than we went to my moms and watched Dexter again. You are so cute how into it you get. I love you.

Logan
You got to see your little sibling today, and although you didn't quite understand, you were very interested in the pictures on the screen. You will have a very close birthday to your sibling but we are okay with that and will promise to make sure you each have a special day for each of you. You had lots of fun playing with Knox and all of your cousins. You are getting so big. Your new word is banana and it is so cute!

Baby Hoffman,
Today we got to see you for the first time. It was so surreal. Your little heart was flickering and healthy. We are already proud of you. Logan loves you lots. You will share a birthday month with him and maybe even a birthday day! We cant wait to meet you little one.

New idea

I have been thinking about how much I cherish every moment I have with my little family, and how fearful I am of forgetting these memories that mean so much to me. I guess that is why I have this blog, but I need to update it more. I am hoping I can write atleast a small paragraph once a day about my amazing husband, my perfect little boy, and our bun in the oven. Starting now :)

Logan
Today we took you and got chicken nuggets from Mcdonalds. Your absolute favorite. It is one of the very few things we can actually get you to eat. Than we went to Grandma Connies to visit and play with your cousins and Aunts and Uncles. You also spilled neon finger paint all over their beige carpets! Uh oh. Luckily we got it all up :) Grandma took us to dinner, which you were not to excited about, you hate going to dinner. Than back to Grandmas and Grandpas to play with some puppies. On the drive home, the sound of rain hitting the car put you to sleep and you are now cuddled up sleeping at home :)

Rory
As usual, I shared a lot of laughs with you. We also talked about how proud of Logan we are. We cleaned and scrubbed paint off the floor on our hands and knees and than took Logan on a drive. You sang your usual silly songs with ridiculous lyrics. You made me happy. Like every day you do. You made me feel beautiful. You just finished your phlebotomy class a few days ago and received your certificate and took your test. I am so proud of you. You are so smart and you have such a thrive to learn. You are getting into Welding school next, well that is your plan. I love how you strive to get to where you want and do what is best for your family.

Baby Hoffman
Today, I puked twice. With Logan I puked like this every day of my pregnancy, and I am trying to prepare my self for that. I also knew at this point that Logan was a boy, just by feeling, but I have NO idea with you. Infact, the only intuition I have about you is that there is more than one of you. We are so excited to grow with you and eventually meet you. Brother Logan knows all about you and loves you a lot. He loves giving my belly kisses and hugs. Tomorrow, we will confirm if there are infact more than one of you, and I am super nervous.

8 weeks :)

So our doctors appointment went great on Tuesday. She estimated by the size of my uterus that I am about 8 weeks! We have an ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday. We are very excited to see our little one! Logan is now almost 16 months. He is a big boy. He LOVES movies! He will bring me his movie to watch. He also will take us to what he wants. Every day we go on a jog and than to the park. It is nice to have that one on one time with him before our next gets here. He is so smart. He loves bugs, tractors and most of all, airplanes. He is just to smart for his own good. He is saying lots of new words. He also loves to sing and dance. He loves his stroller and he hates his bath time :) We are so lucky to have him and we know he is going to be a great big brother.
Rory is just about finished with his phlebotomy class. He passed his state finals. He has one or two more days than he is done! We are looking into buying a townhome at the end of our lease, which we are really excited about! Well, I have some diapers to change! Bye!

Finally

Finally! It has happened! Eagle has landed! YAY! We are officially expecting number two! We are not sure how far along I am. We were not even going to test, but I was about to start a new medication that is not safe for pregnancy, so I had Rory buy me some tests before I started. We expected it to be negative. Boy, I was in for a shock!!! I took it at about ten at night, peed on the little thing, set it down pulled my pants up and BAM! Two bright pink lines! I yelled " Holy crap!" Over and over and Rory ran in yelling your pregnant! It was so exciting. I havent ovulated in a while so I also haven't had a period so we have no clue how far a long I am, but our appt is set up and we will find out soon! We are so excited! Our families are stoked. It's a little early, so we haven't announced it on FB yet, we are waiting for a few more weeks so we know we are out of the war zone. Morning sickness has started with vengeance. Back aches from Hades. And I already feel huge. But this next journey is going to be so fun. Logan is going to be an awesome big brother. I don't quite think he understands yet, but we ask him where the baby is and he points to my belly and gives my belly "loves". Our family is growing and we couldn't be happier. Rory draws blood for the first time Monday. He is very excited and nervous. He will do great! Well, going to go clean! Bye!

Loving Life

Thinking back, the past five years my life has been perfected. My husband is my best friend. He has stuck through with me and stayed by my side through everything. Every day with him is a new adventure. I am so happy. We have our moments of bickering, but with every time he makes me smile, all of our bad times fade away. He reminds me to take a breath when I need to, and to sit back sometimes. I love him and everything he does for Logan and I. He makes me see what kind of people deserve to be in my life, and I realize, I am more important than I give my self credit for. He makes me feel like the end of the world can come tonight, but I'd leave here happy. He has given me everything I ever wanted and he makes all of my dreams come true. If I didn't have Rory, I wouldn't have life. I want him by my side, forever and after, and I know I will have that. I can not thank him enough for what he has given me and how happy I am with him. He is the best dad for Logan, he does everything to give him the best life possible. He plays with him and makes him laugh til he cries. I couldn't ask for more from Rory.

Logan, he is so smart. He amazes Rory and I with every new thing he learns. He is a very early and fast learner. He runs, spins, dances, sings, hums, he can tell us certain sounds of the alphabet, and he is saying so many words. His most recent is crackers and cookies, sometimes drink and bite. He has a big vocabulary. He can make us smile with everything he does. He is officially weaned, since 13 or so months. It was my best accomplishment being able to give him all of the nutrients he needs and more from my body. It was extremely hard at times, but the most giving thing I could do for him. I would do anything for him. He has never had a bottle, and now he is amazing at using cups, with no lid. He is trying so hard to use the spoon and fork with perfection, he is getting really good at it too. He LOVES brainy baby and your baby can read. He also loves Fresh Beat Band. He is a very musical baby. Loves dancing and singing. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect little boy. We love him so much.

We are still trying for baby number two, and have realized I still haven't ovulated, although we thought I had. Unfortunately, I havent since the I conceived Logan. I am trying to not worry about it, but with each passing month and each negative test, I get more and more disappointed. Luckily, I have the most supportive husband who runs to the store first thing in the morning to buy me bundles of pregnancy tests, and holds me when I get another negative. I just have to keep positive and realize it will happen at the best time for us.

Tonight, Rory is letting me and my best girl friend Tiffany go on a little shopping spree. I am stoked, I haven't been shopping since we moved into our apartment. It will be nice and a little bit of therapy :). I am so glad to have Tiffany in my life. She is such a good friend and I can talk to her about ANYTHING and we are so much alike. No joking. We have so much fun together!

Well, gotta get my home clean . Bye!
