Things have been busy around here. A couple weeks ago Logan came down with a 24 hours stomach bug. First time ever and Earl had the unfortunate opportunity to get a full puke shower! Ahhh, he probably deserved it considering he avoided getting the stomach bug. Me on the other hand.......yep, I got it. Threw up so much and so hard that I burst blood vessels in both eyes!! Thanks goodness that it was only a 24 hour thing. Now we're trying to be super careful not to catch this new swine virus running around. Definitely don't want that while pregnant!
So about 2 1/2 years ago we tore apart our second bath...........ok, someone called it a 2nd bath bust trust me it definitely did NOT qualify. It's obviously been a slow process but as of yesterday we finally have the shower done, floor in, toilet and sink in and working!! Just finishing up with the painting and then the last bit of lighting/electrical will get finished. It is quite exciting, no more racing up a flight of stairs to use the potty.
Logan is doing great! I've been doing water exercise classes and lots of time on the bike for my knees. But Logan loves it cause she gets to "play with kids" and the gym daycare. She is probably the happiest kid there! She has also started calling herself "Logy". It's too cute. When I'm gardening outside she is like "mommy's shovel, Logy's shovel". This nick name thing is becoming her trade mark. She calls her friend Brooklyn, Brooky. She calls my mom "nany" instead of "nana". She calls my great grandma "grammy's". It just makes me laugh. She is also way into telling me and Earl "love you" with big hugs! And she is miss manners. Everything is "thank you mommy", "please", "excuse me" and "welcome"............we have NOT worked on this. She just started talking this way. I guess that must mean we're polite around here. All I know is that this super cute stuff just melts our hearts!!
Our new baby is growing great. I actually feel really good. I think it's all the working out. Plus I swear every women should do water exercise while pregnant. It feels SOOOOO GREAT! Since I've started it all my back pain has stopped. This is especially good because Logan jumped on the scale at the doctor's office and came in at a whopping 33lbs! She isn't even 2 yet!! Trust me, lugging that much weight around while pregnant is tough. Especially because I feel bigger than last time. When I went to the doctor this week I was measuring big. But I'm hoping that baby just went through a growth spurt as is gonna slow down. Otherwise I'm gonna end up with one gigantic belly.
On one last note I'm going to declare myself a total Copy Cat! Molly is gonna love it:) I'm all about cashing in on the ideas of other mom's. So last trip to Montana I tried our Molly's Ergo Baby Carrier. Yep, got one on order (thank you Debbie)! With Logan being so big after birth I'm expecting the same with this baby. And that Ergo just offered great support for the back which really matters when you have a heavy kid. Second thing is the stroller. I shouldn't jog anymore, just not smart with my knees. So instead of upgrading from the single Bob to the double Bob I jumped on the band wagon and went with the Phil and Ted stroller with doubles kit. Found a GREAT sale price online. It just came Thursday and we took it our for a test drive yesterday. I LOVE IT! It really is gonna be great for two kids. And it's narrow design really makes it more universal than the Bob double. Now I just gotta copy my sister and get one of those Hooter Hiders!
