Peanut #2 - 24 weeks baking

So we haven't posted much about peanut #2 very much, however, most people know that we are having a girl by now. Mr. Logan keeps us on our toes all day every day, so I guess we haven't had much time to write.

Well, peanut #2 and myself are doing really well now. We had a pretty rough first trimester, including morning sickness all day for about two weeks. I have felt really good for a while now, so that is good. I need all the energy I can get taking care of Logan all day! It was kinda crazy how exactly opposite my pregnancies have been with Logan and this one, I was not surprised to find out that it was a girl kicking about in there! We are really excited though. Still have not chosen a name yet, soon hopefully.

Lately I have been working on my thesis a little more often. We have put aside three days a week that I go out of the house and work on it, I think it will help. We are also in the process of selling my car and getting a new more family friendly car. I love my Elantra and really don't want to sell it, but I know we will fit much better in a Santa Fe and my back will thank me later. Someone looked at my car and wants to buy it, so hopefully it all goes down this weekend. Maybe we will have a pic of my new car to post soon! We also purchased a double stroller already! The one I wanted was on sale for a really good price, so we had to snatch it up. Will have to post a pic of that soon too. Now we are selling our single strollers on craigslist to pay for that one! Ha! I just sold my BOB jogging stroller today and shed a few tears for it.

Here's a pic of the ever growing belly. Much bigger already this time around. This was taken after a long hard day too....lol. I'm ready to go to bed! Take care everyone!

Just a few new pics as we enjoy the last bits of warm weather

Logan's newest favorite hobby

Welcome back everyone, Well it is already fall and there is a distinct nip in the air, colds are going around and the tea kettle is whistling. Logan is almost 2 now. Less than one month away to be exact. Our trip to MN went well. It was too short for me (Sean) but Katie and Logan had a good time I think. It was nice to see nearly everyone. We are settling into normal life again back here. I head out for a week trip to Southern Arizona tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to it being my last trip till hopefully well after baby #2 comes. It's been raining here already, about a month ahead of time. There was already a winter storm warning for the Sierras this last week and it dumped almost 2 ft of snow. Hope its another record snowfall year again myself. Logan got a haircut before he came back out here so he is sporting the "grown up boy look" these days. He's also a little chatterbug complete with 3-4 word phrases now like "drink app (apple) juice" "going truck drive" and "going ride bike." Here are a few of the latest pics; you will have to wait for Katie to post the big boy looks pics as I only have the long-haired-surfer, grungy-climber, hockey-player, watch-me-shake-my-hair poses that I liked so much.

September News

Hello everyone! Happy September! Can't believe the summer went by that fast! We hope everyone had a nice labor day weekend before school started up. We took our trailer to Collins Lake with a few other families. It was a good time. Logan had a ton of fun swimming in the lake all day, playing in the sand, and playing with the other kid's toys. He was having so much fun he refused to nap the whole trip (grrrr). We had fun camping with other families as we had always taken our trailer out by ourselves before. We made the horrible mistake of not taking ANY pictures though!! We were naughty.

In other news, Logan peed on the potty for the first time yesterday! Here is a pic of Logan quite proud of himself and holding his treat, a thin mint girl scout cookie. He loves those! Let's see if we can make any progress. I don't think he's quite ready yet for it, but I'm going to keep encouraging it if it happens! What a big boy!

We are making a trip over to Minnesota around the second to last week of September. I have a friend's wedding to go to, so we decided to make a trip out of it. It might be our last trip out for a while, maybe until after baby #2 is born. Speaking of baby #2, we will hopefully be finding out if baby Kirsch will be a boy or girl on September 19th! A day or so before we head out to MN, so keep your ears open for that news!!! SO excited to find out! Hope all is well to our friends and family! We love you guys! Below is Logan still sporting his cheese face. Got to love him!

Summer is over?

Hello everyone. It's been a while, sorry. Where to start? My mom was just out here for a week to visit. It was great to have Grandma in town for sure! We had lots of fun, although we didn't really take any pictures, what a bummer!! To name a few things we did while she was here: we went to Santa Cruz, played on the beach and ate at the Crow's Nest, we took Logan to Happy Hollow park to play, I took mom on a surprise girl's night outing to the Mountain Winery to see Toad the Wet Sprocket (and they were great!), we went to a movie, mom watched Logan over night so Sean and I could get some R&R on a night away together, we refinished my bedroom set to match our new headboard, and probably more that I am forgetting. It really was so great to have her here.

As far as peanut #2 goes, he/she is growing like a weed! I will be 16 weeks on Monday and have been feeling pretty good. No more nausea!!! I still don't feel like I have gotten all my energy back, unfortunately. My belly is a lot bigger this time around. With Logan i started showing a little after 20 weeks and now I've had a bump for a couple weeks already! Getting really excited to find out if we are expecting a boy or a girl, hopefully soon!

Sean left today to go help at Hurricane Irene. A bummer not to have him around this weekend and even more of a bummer to not know when he is coming home. Hopefully the storm doesn't do too much damage over there! Until then, Logan and I are holding down the fort. Here are a couple pics to enjoy! Oh yes, and Logan discovered his "cheese" face, check it out.

CHOO CHOO

Logan and I had another fun filled day today venturing down to Felton, CA for a ride with Thomas the train. He isnt that into Thomas, but he sure had fun on a train ride and jumping in the jumpy house today. Here are a few pics
