As of right now, I have gained 0.5 this week. It is recommended to gain 1 pound per week, and considering I gained way to much weight last month, I am taking a little more notice at how much I gain per week. Also, I have gotten used to the luxery of staying alseep until Logan gets up...This is something that I have completely taken advantage of. I am very worried about how this sleep thing will go when the new baby comes. Ughhh...I hate saying the new baby (I wish she had a name!)... When Logan was born I 100% took the advice of others..."Sleep when the baby sleeps." There were times that I would try to get stuff done around the house, but I really tried to do that when JR was there to help either with the house or the baby. Logan is to the age where he only takes one nap a day and it isn't set in stone when that nap is...basically its just when he gets tired. So step one is to get him on a nap schedule, which means that when the baby comes, she will need to take a nap during the same time. Especially at first, because I can guarantee that I will need a nap too. Lately, Logan has been getting up at 10:00. I have been setting my alarm to get up at 9 so that I can go work out on the gazelle and eat breakfast...I have only done this for two days this week, but it really is amazing to get an hour to myself before Logan gets up. So I tried to set his nap time at 2, but we tried and tried and he wasn't able to fall asleep until after 3 yesterday. So we are going to try again today (wish me luck).
Yesterday, JR and I had a long conversation about Parenting, something we should have done a LONG time ago. This all stemmed from the fact that I woke up at 5:30 the night before last to find Logan in the bed with us....I was SOOOOOO pissed. I feel like I work so hard to accomplish a goal, and then JR goes and does something to take everything away. So last night was difficult to say it mildly. He cried and cried and cried...neither of us got any sleep. Then he would fall asleep and wake up after an hour or two, I thought I was going to kill JR for making things so difficult. I know I have talked about putting his bed in his room, but JR and I decided to leave it in our room because we are buying him a new bed and we thought it would be easier for him to start in his new room with a new bed...Only one transition instead of two.
Baby names:
Picking a baby name is proving to be more and more difficult. I want something that is modern but not the most popular. I would rather her not have the same name as three or four other girls in her class. JR seems to pick out names that are plain jane. Basically we cant really agree on anything yet. Then I have my family putting in their two cents....Ohhhh, I dont like that or ooooohhhh, what about this. Ughhhh! I love the suggestions, but ultimately it is up to JR and I. I have looked through the baby name books and websites, and there just isn't anything that stands out at me.....Any of you have suggestions? I would love to hear them!

Travis and I just could not come up with any girl names before we knew the sex of our baby, so I won't be much help in that department.
Something to think about... Do you think it will be too much change at one time to move Logan into a new room at bed time AND have a new bed to sleep in? It sounds more like two transitions at one time to me. Either way - good luck!
You know...I didn't really think of it like that...Hmmm...I guess your right, maybe we should move him into his room first and then get him used to a new bed. But then maybe he would associate a new bed with a new room, and if it is hard to transition then we only have to do one round of the screams instead of two. I really think that he is going to be so shocked by the new room situation, that he may not notice a new bed...Hmmmmm, well there is definitely more to think about!
