Easter!

In my typical late blog fashion I am just now getting to posting about Easter.
We had a great weekend to celebrate Easter and the weather was perfect! We spent the whole weekend together as a family.
Friday we had some friends over to make resurrection rolls, have an Easter egg hunt and eat lunch. Kinsey loves spending time with her friends and I too enjoyed sipping coffee with the other mommies!
Saturday we had a family breakfast and then dyed eggs. Surprisingly it was rather clean and both kids enjoyed it way more than I anticipated. We spent the rest of the day doing yardwork and cleaning the house so we could have all day Sunday to celebrate and relax!
Sunday we had a big breakfast at home along with a family devotional and then went to church. Both kids got to do the egg hunt after church and then we had lunch with my family.
He is risen and we had a great time celebrating this very special holiday!!

Baby Update

This week I saw my regular ob again. I have not gained any weight in the last six weeks. Also, at my sono last week baby has continued to drop in percentiles. Baby started at 35%, then dropped to 30% and was 20% this week. That coupled with my lack of weight gain, coupled with the measurements of my stomach being low is a concern.
Dr Whiddon said that I am scheduled for another sono and weight check at 37 weeks. That is on May 7th. We will go to that visit and if baby has continued to decline in percentiles we will have a baby then.
What?!
I definitely was not expecting that. He says at that point the baby will be considered growth restricted and it becomes safer for baby to be out rather than in.
That means we could be having this baby in 2 and a half weeks!!!
To be honest I am a mess. I am not sure what to think. I have felt like with all of the testing we have done and the fact that my continued sonos show no new changes in regards to echogenic foci, that perhaps we just have too good of technology and that I will just have this baby and it will be healthy and perfect.
Now we are adding to lack of growth to the mix and I am back at square one. 
I am anxious and relying on my own reasoning to make everything better. Truth is, it won't happen. Truth is, I am trying to handle this on my own. Truth is, I need to lean on my heavenly father. This is His will. This baby is in His care. I know He is a just God and loves me and this baby. And that is enough.
So whether we have a baby in 2 and a half weeks or make it to 40 weeks I am thankful for this journey and this very special baby.
But until then......I better get my hospital bags packed!

Logan as of 2014

It has been awhile since I have done a post all about sweet Logan. I wanted to write a few things about him and give him some blog love since he only has a short time more to be the baby.
He will always be my first born boy and that is a super special place in this mommas heart.
Truth be told I was kind of hoping for a girl when we found out we were pregnant with him. Boy am I glad he wasn't. My heart stretched about a million times the day this guy was born. 

He has grown up so much in the last 6 months. His vocab is pretty darn awesome. Its so fun to hear all of the new sentences he can form and so cool that you can carry on total conversations with him. It is able to articulate easily most of the time his wants and needs. 
He is still my picky eater and would be content eating hot dogs and french fries every day of his life. The two fruits he will actually eat are oranges and bananas. And he has even gagged and thrown up when I insisted that he take a bite of corn. Seriously!? 
He takes one good nap a day from about 1:30 to 3:30 or 4. He now sleeps in the same room as sister (more on that later). The two of them entertain eachother (annoyingly so to me) until about 9 or 9:30 each night despite being put to bed at 8. They both wake usually around 8am! Yay for that!!!
He is quick to follow whatever sister does and her interests are usually but lately he has taken on his own interests. Topping the lists are construction trucks and tools. It is so cute to watch him work with daddy!
He can recognize and name an excavater, backhoe, skid steer, forklift, snow plow, tractor, semi, and many other trucks.....
He has taken very little interest in the potty. I have bribed him multiple times with candy to sit on the potty and he has actually went on it a few times. But he would never suggest it or do it without the candy incentive. I continue to offer it but do not want it to become a power struggle so we will take our time on that one. Although I could do without changing his diapers:) He picked out CARS big boy underwear and we are putting them in his easter basket. Who knows if that will help or not.
He much prefers daddy unless he is hurt, sick or needs something. On those occasions he will come running for me and cry for me. Super sweet that at least he wants momma sometimes.

I could never have imagined the joy this sweet boy would bring to our lives. It really is hard to put into words our love for him. I love the bond him and Kinsey have and I look forward to his new role of big brother. 
You are so loved and special little man!

Girly Girl

I love that Kinsey is such a girly girl. Lately she has been really into wanting her nails painted. She will pick out the color and either Josh or I will paint them. Without fail, within 1 day she will have picked the nail polish off (she gets this terrible habit from me) and then she will want them painted again. 
She loves having them done......its just so darn hard to let them nails be.....trust me I know.
Sigh* its crazy how much a child can bring in to light the things about yourself that you don't really notice much.
For Christmas she got a set of nail decorations that included press ons. I remember loving press on nails and once I was old enough, getting the ones you filed down and glued on. I would place them on oh so carefully and then gently walk around the house hoping not to pop one off.
Its so cute to see her interests develop.
I love watching her have an opinion on things (most of the time:))
She is growing so quickly and I hope that one day when she has children of her own she will remember the hundreds of times I painted her nails for her and the awesome conversations we have while doing it!
Love you princess!

Even baby needs a set of press ons.
