Reality really has set in :)

I went for my first prenatal appointment last week. Sure I knew I was pregnant; I saw that little plus sign on the pregnancy test. I've been feeling some of the signs; very tired, boobs hurt like hell, peeing a lot, very moody. Reality didn't sink in until I saw the little "blob" on the ultrasound screen (not trying to be rude, that is what the baby looks like at 10 weeks) and it's little heart a fluttering away. The heartbeat is at 150 bpm. Just seeing the little one inside of my belly got me really more excited and also kinda scared. I'm going to be the mother of 2 children. Not just one energetic but lovable 3 1/2 year old (that's how old Logan will be when baby #2 gets here) but a newborn too.

 

 

 

How do I keep them both happy?

 

 

 

I know that I will be fine and Ryan will be fine as well and our instincts will kick in. It's just crazy to think that we are going to have two kids!! We are super excited too. :) We don't know for sure, but we think that this one might be another boy. I took an early gender test (this was a free study up at ARUP) and they said that I had Y chromosome in my blood. Sure that could be left over from Logan (if you have had a previous male birth, you will still have the Y chromosome hang out in your system for years) so we'll see what the ultrasound brings (well you all know what happened last time!!). I would love to have a little girl, but another boy would be awesome as well. :)

I've held it in long enough......

I'm due June 27, 2012. :) I'll be announcing it on facebook later today (once we've told Ryan's Grandparents).

My little man! So big!!

Tolman Farm ~ House Demo

September 12, 2011. My Grandparents house was demolished. It really wasn't sad for me even though I thought it would be. I looked at it as this was just a house now. It was a home when my Grandparents were still here. It was a home when we all got together as a family. Now that my Grandparents are gone, it's just a house. I would rather have them back then this old over 100 year old farm house. We had good memories there and I'm hoping the traditions never end just because this property is gone now.


My Dad and his younger brother Mike looking at the house before it was demolished.
Gough homes was kind enough to just break one side of the house so we could grab some brick. We had no idea that there was two layers of brick to his house.

The house went pretty quick. Probably only around 7 minutes.

The end result.

Living Planet Aquarium!!

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium yesterday and Logan loved it! It was his first time going there.

We had to do pictures with the giant frog.

Logan looking at some toads.

The boys checking out the stingrays. One was very social and kept waving at us and trying to get out.

My handsome little man and I.

What a goofball!! :)

Finally some AWESOME news!

We took Logan to see his doc last Thursday and his doc was even more impressed with how he has healed then before. This time, we really do think we are in the clear. We are excited to start potty training soon! Yay!! I'm so proud of my little man with what he has put up with the first 2 1/2 years of his life. I love him so! Thanks to everyone for their love and support. We have really appreciated it!!

Logan's Surgery (#4)

Logan had his 4th surgery on 5/5/2011. Everything went great! Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers that this is the last one. :) And thank you to everyone's love and support.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Happy 33rd Birthday to my wonderful husband. I love you!!

Easter 2011

This year was pretty much a Cars theme. It is Logan's favorite movie and he loves the cars themselves. He had a couple already but the Easter Bunny felt that he needed many more.

This is how he played all morning. His little knees were so red because he refused to get up for anything. He was also very upset when we made him eat breakfast and also to go down for a nap later in the day. How mean are we? :)

SPOILED!!

Look what Logan's Grandma and Grandpa bought him.

Logan got a new big boy car bed. Cars bedding coming soon. :)

Handsome 2 year old boy!

Cute Logan/Evil Eye Logan

Icecream is good!!!

In loving memory

My Grandma Tolman past away this morning at the age of 86. She was my last living grandparent. I love you Grandma and will miss you always!

Finally some good news!!

Logan had his appt. with his Urologist today and his doc said that everything looks great! NO MORE SURGERIES! We still have to take Logan in to see his doc in about a year for a checkup and then in about a year after that just to make sure everything is still good. Yay! Huge weight lifted off of our shoulders for sure. This does not mean we are going to start trying for another kid. I want another one, but we have other things that are priority first. :)

I've been meaning to update this, but keep forgetting. We found out that Logan for sure has a heart murmur, but it's nothing to worry about. They did find something a little weird though. It is something that is very rare to have. There is an extra vein that is connected to the heart but eventually dissolves (it's either before birth or right after this happens). His did not dissolve. This is not a big deal at all. The doc said that he has a healthy heart and will have a long heart life :). So pretty much Logan has a right and left SVC (superior vena cava) instead of just a right one.
