Oh Boy! Oh Boy!
Yup...thats right...we are having a baby BOY! We just couldn't be more excited! His name is Logan Scott Shaffer and he is already one little spoiled baby. We had our ultrasound and the Dr. put the picture in an envelope so we could give it to our baker. No, we didn't peak! Julie did an AMAZING job on our cake as shown below.....

We went to my grandma's house and everyone from the family was there. It was a crazy time but I loved every minute of it! I swear our family survives on chaos. Anyway, Jeremy and I cut open the cake to find a BLUE center! It was such a great moment. Yes, I cried :) All the family brought gifts (one blue and one pink just in case) even though I said NO GIFTS....but my family never listens. Logan got some pretty cute stuff out of the deal! Super cute outfits and blankets. It was like Christmas! And now that we know that our little bump is a boy, Grandma Shaffer has been spending a fortune! Baby boy blankets, outfits and shoes OH MY! Here is the latest baby bump picture. Eat your heart out :) Loves!

Baby
Last time I wrote, I was on a Medifast diet which I never got the chance to finish because...I'm Pregnant! We are just so super excited to be adding to our little family! I'm 19 weeks today and feeling pretty darn good! I'm a little tired since the baby tends to suck the life out of me but I haven't been sick this whole pregnancy, just nauseous at times and that is starting to fade. When I was only about 3 weeks into my Medifast I started to really dislike the food. To the point where I completely stopped eating it. Turns out, 2 weeks later I find out I'm 6 weeks preggo. So that explained my sudden urge to throw out all the nasty diet crap.
The morning that I took that pregnancy test, I honestly thought it would be negative. We have taken so many tests in the months before my pregnancy and every one said negative that we were starting to lose hope. I waited 2 weeks past my period before I finally took a test since I was very irregular for a long time and I would be a week late and then start a couple days after testing. I woke up pretty early that Sunday morning and went in the bathroom without any hurry, just KNOWING I wasn't pregnant. Before I was even finished going to the bathroom that plus sign showed up with a quickness. I was so stunned! I just walked back into the bedroom where my sleepy husband had one eye open, thinking the same thing as always. I started crying and said, "Honey, I'm pregnant!" He just couldn't believe his eyes...he was so shocked! He gave me the biggest hug and was so excited.
We went to the store later that morning to get another test. One of those digital ones that actually said Pregnant and Not Pregnant. I took it in the Fred Meyer bathroom and low and behold...PREGNANT! That was exciting to see it in writing!
We find out a week from today what we are having! Well, not really. I go in for my ultrasound but we are having the Dr. put the results in an envelope and then I am going to take it to my baker who will then bake a cake either blue or pink inside. The outside will be decorated in neutral colors and on the 20th we are going to cut the cake in front of my whole family to find out together what the sex is! It will be such a fun time! I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait 2 whole weeks to find out! I don't care either way what we are having, I just want our baby to be healthy!
I will keep you all posted on the sex as soon as we know!

Journey to a new ME
Well....I was on weight watchers for a little over a year. It was a great plan and I lost 60 pounds on the plan. But sad to say, I quit WW because they changed their plan and I just hit a road block. Instead of losing weight I kept gaining it. Month after month of disappointment. So I decided to start this new plan. It's called Medifast. Basically I eat 5 of their "meals" and 1 of my own meals with a certain amount of lean protein and greens. Their "meals" consist of many powdered delicacies such as scrambled eggs, chocolate chip pancakes, soups, shakes, and oatmeals. They also have a bunch of bars and snacks.
For the most part I actually enjoy all the food. Some of it is pretty bland so I have to flavor it. My dinner consists of chicken breast and veggies. Pretty boring for the most part but I spice it up with different recipes. There are a lot of different things you can do for dinner I'm just not that creative lol. Needless to say, this plan is Dr. approved and I get all my daily vitamins from all the things I eat. I mean I eat 6 times a day so I'm not hungry at all. Your supposed to lose weight really fast. After my first 2 days I weighed myself the morning of my 3rd day and I had already lost 3 pounds. Not bad if I do say so myself. I'm going to do this plan for a month and cross my fingers and hope it works! I'll keep ya posted!
