I Scream, You Scream

With our gender reveal ultrasound and a huge consignment sale (which I volunteered at) last week, we didn't have a whole lot of time to celebrate finding out about our sweet little boy! We really wanted to do something simple and special for Logan so we went out Saturday night and got her a big sister treat we knew wouldn't disappoint:

She ate that cone up in no time! She's already talking about her little "brud" that's in mommy's belly and we just know she's going to be a wonderful big sister.

It's a....

And we are SO thrilled to have one of each gender-it'll be the best of both worlds in our house! I woke up this morning with a gut feeling we'd see a sweet boy (Mike was still convinced that it was a girl up until we saw the hard evidence...and there's no denying this kid is all BOY) and we did.

He is one active little guy! I knew this already as I've been feeling a TON of movement over the past week, but he showed off for the camera today. He's measuring perfect and right on target for a late Feb/early March delivery and the anatomy scan showed a textbook little baby.

And since I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow, here's my 19 weeks shot with baby boy. As with Logan, we'll be keeping his name quiet until you can all put a sweet face with his name!

18 Weeks!

I hit 18 weeks on Friday but since we were traveling, I obviously missed the post. Here's the picture for good measure! We have our ultrasound that will reveal the gender on Thursday (10/7) so only a day and a half before we know if we'll be doing more pink or adding some blue to the house! Either way, we're thrilled to have had a healthy pregnancy thus far and look forward to our new little family member joining us in a few months.

Cousins

Logan got to spend quite a bit of time with her cousin, Benjamin, this weekend. Mike's sister's mother-in-law is a photographer and was really sweet and came to take some pictures of the cousins together. Here are a few shots, but you can see them all here.

Weekend Photo Dump

Here are some pictures from our weekend in Ohio:

Logan loved the hotel closet, especially since she could close the door herself and hide in there.

We made a quick stop at daddy's Alma mater so that we could get some pictures and a few little treats.

Then we headed to Findlay to spend some time with Daddy's family.

We took a nice walk.

Logan loved all of the attention she got from her grandparents.

We got to spend some time with our nephew, who we haven't seen since he was two weeks old.

And Logan got to use her big sister skills with him.

Too Quiet

Thankfully, Logan isn't the kind of child who gets really quiet when she's doing something she's not supposed to be doing. Nope, she's overtly loud when she's getting into trouble. Usually when she's really quiet I can expect to see her in her room doing something like this:

Or playing mama to her babies, or laying down on her bed pretending to sleep, or going "chopping" through all of her toys.

She really loves reading. Sometimes she won't even ask to be read to, but will grab her favorite stories and take them somewhere quiet, find the pages she knows the best and recite them the best that she can.

She's developing quite the little personality. We can't believe that she's only 4 months away from being 2 and only about 5 months away from being a big sister!
