Ok, I'll do better.....

Its been a year and a day since the last time I posted. I have been noticing that I have had the urge again to blog. This might be from the 22+ week old baby growing in my tummy.

When Logan was about a year and a half we started trying for another baby. We knew with the amount of time that it took with Logan that it would take some time....we didn't know it would take 2 more years....I thought that since my body had already been pregnant it would say "Oh yeah! We can do that again!" but alas it didn't happen.

We turned to medical intervention in November 2010. I started taking Clomid and with it being a fertility medicine I thought maybe the first month would work, but no. It also didn't take in December. The side effects they said or I read about were worse then what I had. Thank Goodness!! In January it finally stuck. We didn't get to test until February 2nd. That morning about 4:30am I took the test. It was finally positive!!! I called Herbie and he was as overjoyed as I was :) I then called Karyn because she wanted to know at the exact moment I knew. :)

Fast forward to this week and we have had the ultrasound which showed us that we are going to add a little girl to our family. Her name is/will be Olivia Yvonne. Its becoming a lot more real since figuring out a name. Olivia was the second of two names we decided on since no one in our families or extended families have an Olivia. Yvonne is after Herbie's Grandmother on his dad's side. His Grandma has been the loving Grandma I always wanted and always want to remember.  I love having the middle names mean something. She is due October 9th. :)


Logan is excited now about being a big brother.  He wasn't so happy at the sonogram when the tech said we would be having a girl. He wanted a brother, BUT he is calling his sister "Princess Olivia" now. He is so cute!

Logan has been doing well. I am truly afraid for his future kindergarten teacher. He is reading at a 1/2 level and is starting to work on his math skills. He has started pre-school and absolutely loves it. I love that he is having the social aspect and his teachers love him. His new teacher told me today that he has such a positive outlook to EVERYTHING. He loves saying "YAY" to everything they are going to do from having snack to playing outside.

I am hoping that I will continue to post more and more here as I have truly missed it. And I know I will have more to write when im up for the nightly feedings!
