Logan is being such a terror today!!!
Well, in all actuality, to most moms, you would all say he isn't that bad, which I guess is probably actually true. But compared to my normally mild-mannered, silly child, he is being a real brat haha.
Wouldn't eat breakfast/made a HUGE mess at breakfast. Both my mom and I tried to feed him, and he was just spitting everything out, even though we tried 3 different foods. Just being a real brat. So then I went to give him a bath because he was all sticky and a mess. And of course, because this is his new thing. He wouldn't sit down in the tub. I don't know why, he loves the water. We just have a fascination now with stomping around in the tub, and playing with the drain switch, and banging on the sliding doors. And we weren't done there!! Didn't want to lay down long enough to get a diaper on or get dressed. In the end I had to straddle him to get his pants on. That's a first. And not something I'm hoping to make a regular occurrence. What a pain he is today.
In other news, because I don't remember what I've post already or whatever, I've been feeling the baby move since I was about 11 weeks. What most people refer to as a "fluttering" feeling, but it always just feels like vibrating to me, so that's what I call it. Then at about 18 weeks I started feeling actual strong movements, like pushing and kicks. I honestly can't remember when I felt that with Logan. But I was surprised because on 2 occasions, and I actually jumped and yelled because it was so strong and took me by surprise!!
On October 12th, last week, we had our 20 wk. visit and found out....it's a girl! She had no hesitation and pretty much said she got a good view, and was able to see everything she needed to see!! Sometimes the view is hard to check things, or things look shadowy or are in the way, but she had a clear view, so very exciting!!
Today I am 21 weeks. In a way it seems like it's been going fast, and in a way it doesn't, it's so hard to explain. It seems like it took a long time to get to 20 weeks to find out what the gender was, but at the same time, it seems like just yesterday that it was June and I found out I was pregnant!
I also still feel just as exhausted as ever :-/
However I have bathed the baby, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned out the fridge, made lemonade, made iced tea, and sort of gotten dressed today. So I'm SLOWLY getting somewhere today. I just wish I had more energy. I never felt anywhere NEAR this exhausted with Logan. It sucks. But I better get my butt up and figure out what we're having for dinner, so I'm outta here!

Lazy Saturday
So not much new has been happening lately, same old same old.
I've been really tired last night and today, so I did a lot of napping.
We did good on making dinner all week, except today we were planning to have chicken parmesan with our leftover sauce from yesterday, but by the time mom, logan and i went out shopping, it was kinda late, so we cheated and just went to McDonalds. Chicken parm can be for tomm.
We went to Target and got some wipes. I'm kinda becoming a freak about stocking up on stuff like wipes. Diapers you can stock up on, but only so much, cause I'm always worried I'll buy too many of a certain size, and he'll outgrow them. Of course you can return/exchange them, but that's such a pain in the butt. But wipes you know you'll need for a while!! Especially since the new baby isn't even here yet, I know I'll be using them for AT LEAST the next 2 years! Anddddd we had manufacturer coupons, AND Target store coupons. And you can use one manufacturer coupon AND one store coupon on each item!! So I bought 4 big packs of wipes, like 500 count, and used 4 manufacturer coupons, 1 store coupon, and they were doing a sale where if you buy 2 big packs of wipes, you get a $5 Target giftcard! So we got 2 of those since we bought 4 packs!
I was excited. Yup, that's what happens when you get old and have kids haha. But for real, I saved like over $12 the cashier said, plus got $10 in giftcards. That's awesome.
I don't care if you think I'm a dork, i LOVE saving money.
I also always shop the clearance racks at Kmart and Walmart for kids clothes. I have clothes for Logan up to a size 4t I think. I don't care if he won't wear it for a while, when I get shit for 50 cents, or a dollar each, and it's cute, I'll take it!! I just put it away in the back of his closet.
And my mom and I do clip coupons. If you take 5 minutes, uninterrupted, that's all it takes!! We saved like $50 at Walmart 2 weeks ago. I think before the coupons it was $163? I think? And after it was something like $116. I forget exactly how much, but it was something like that.
And plus at Giant Eagle you get fuelperks when you shop at the store, and you get FOODPERKS, now when you pump gas at GetGo.
Mom and I did a huge shopping trip a couple months ago, and you save a certain percent with the new Foodperks thing, and we saved $40 by using our FoodPerks, it's awesome. I love saving money.
Anyway, Logan just started running around tearing apart the family room, so I better go stop him!!

Long time, no type
So I know it's been way too long.
I said I'd write, and I slacked off for months.
Things got superbusy.
We had a huge birthday party for Logan in July that took up a lot of time and planning, plus my usual work and whatnot.
In June we found out I am pregnant again!!
I am currently 19 weeks, 1 day.
We find out on Tuesday, October 12th what the gender is. I'm feeling excited and nervous.
I've been feeling the baby move since about 11 weeks, what most people refer to as the "fluttering feeling," but in the last week or so I've felt harder movement similar to kicking.
Then last night, 10/5/10, I was actually able to see a small movement while watching my belly. So I guess it's about to really start going crazy in there!!
Don't know where I left off on Logan's achievements.
By April 1st he was consistently waving hello/goodbye.
On April 2nd he got his 6th tooth. The top right one next to his front tooth.
On April 6th he was walking while someone helped hold his hands.
On April 10th he was army crawling like crazy.
On April 14th he had his 9 month checkup. He was 23.5 lbs, and 28 3/4 inches long.
On April 21st he had a fever of 100.5, we gave him medicine and took him to urgent care. By the time we got in there and seen, the medicine had reduced his fever, and they said so just keep an eye on it. On the 22nd it never got higher than 99.5
On April 24th I have it written down that he did his first "real" crawling, and it was also his first swim in the pool.
By April 25th he was saying "baba" and "papa" quite a bit.
On April 27th he started really crawling forward several feet at a time (Yes, I know, he was a late crawler).
By the following day, April 28th, he was crawling across entire rooms!! The same day he also pulled himself up to a standing position.
On April 30th he was saying "mama"and doing "so big!" a lot.
On June 7th he tried ice cream for the first time. He also tried meatloaf for the first time.
On June 8th he had pierogies for the first time.
On June 9th he was eating really great with a fork (pasta pickups).
He had his 1 year checkup on July 14th. He was 26 lbs., and 31 1/4 inches. His head circumference was 47.5 cm, which was in the 75th percentile.
His big birthday bash was on July 17th.
On July 22nd, Logan took his first steps all alone.
Logan took a good fall on August 19th, I'd rather not discuss it, but he took a good tumble and I've never been so scared in my life.
On September 1st, Logan got his back left molar.
On September 5th he got his bottom tooth next to his left front.
By September 6th he waves hi/bye all the time, and started saying "hi." He also started giving kisses, and blowing kisses.
He has his 15 month checkup scheduled for October 13th.
On July 20th I had my first Ob/Gyn visit for the second pregnancy, 8 weeks (Got an ultrasound)
On August 17th I had my second Ob/Gyn visit, 12 weeks (Got an ultrasound)
On September 14th I had my 3rd Ob/Gyn visit, 16 weeks
I have my 20 week visit and ultrasound for gender determination scheduled for October 12th.
I guess that's all the recent stats and news!!
In other news, We've been trying to cook dinner more often, and try new recipes. I spent a couple hours one night searching and printing all sorts of recipes we thought we might like. We did really good for like 2 weeks cooking dinner.
We had dinner several nights in a row, all yummy stuff. I meant to type it out earlier, but didn't get a chance.
It's not hard to cook every night, it just helps to be prepared!!
Last night we had:
Meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, creamy garlic shells, and peas.
Tonight we are having:
Pork scalloppine, scampi rice, broccoli w/ cheese sauce, and green beans.
The menu for the rest of the week is:
Thurs- McCormick slow cooker Italian Herb Chicken, with linguine.
Friday- Stuffed peppers and spaghetti
Saturday-Leftover sauce and making chicken parmesan with it.
Sunday- London Broil with golden mushroom gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and broccoli w/ cheese.
We'll see if we can stick to it!!! It can be hard when you're tired, or pressed for time, but I've been doing a good job of prepping things the night before, like cutting vegetables and stuff to help save time the next night :-)
Last week I did that, just cut vegetables, and put them in a bowl with water, and put it in the fridge, and they stay fine. I did that for a slow cooker pot roast one night, and for soup i did one night, when I made vegetable beef soup and chicken soup. Works out great.
Okay, it's getting late and I better hop on starting tonight's dinner.
I swear I will try to write more often!
