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!
