So I can't believe I am still going strong. I actually feel really good! Diabities sucks but losing weight isn't bad. This little one just doesn't want to make her appearance yet. I say she wants to wait until my birthday July 31st to be induced. Typical Leo already. The doctor said if I don't go by my due date they will induce 7/31 or 8/1. I think I'd like her to have her own birthday so hopefully they will let me pick August 1st. I was pretty nervous for the last 2 weeks but I now really think she wont come until they induce me. I'm kind of a slew of mixed emotions. I worry Londyn will be upset and not love me. I hope she doesn't think that a new baby is taking over. I know that in the future she will love her younger sister. Josh is so happy and can't wait for her to come. I am nervous about the sleepless nights but I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to meet you little Preslie!!!!!!

Well I might change my mind on being ready ready ready. I actually feel ok and am enjoying the calm before the storm. I'm less nervous to go into labor at anytime. Maybe I got hit with the zen stick. Londyn seems like she is warming up to the idea that she is getting a sister. She keeps saying for sissy for sissy. She is such a joy now talking so much, it's exciting. I can't wait for her to grow up with her sister. We think we finally came up with a name, that's exciting. my bags are packed and I'm ready to go. Londyn said she will have hair like mommy's color - brown and eyes like nonna - brown. I'm excited to see. The doctor said she has hair and chubby cheeks. As much as I love this excitement of seeing what was in your belly for this long i'm happy that this is the last time I am doing this! I'm really happy with our new home and to raise the kids and this wonderful neighborhood. Everything is all good right now :)

Baby is finally full term. I had Londyn already at this point. I'm so nervous because I went to doctor yesterday and she checked to see if I was dialated and I was 1 cm. She also went OH WOW, WOW she is crazy low. My worst nightmare will I make it out the door before her falling out?? I left the appointment shocked & forgot to ask if I should go into work for the remaining week like planned. She said no because I went with Londyn this time, once I go into labor I have to get to the hospital. ughhhh i'm nesting and thinking of everything that has to get done but I am so tired I can't really move much. I'm also nervous about delivering and then bringing her home. Plus we don't have a name yet YIKES to all of this!

So in 3 days was the time I delivered Londyn 36 1/2 weeks. It makes me nervous because I don't feel ready and I'm still commuting to work. It's been really hard lately staying happy. Yesterday my sugar was super low and I felt week and dizzy. On the days I work from home I run around from doc visit to doc visit usually always late and I get so stressed out. Londyn has been changing into 15 outfits a day. It's crazy and hard to keep her clothes in her drawer. But I let her do it she has a ball so it makes me happy. The temp has been 85-100. People are so concerned about me but I think I'm more slow and tired then hot. Except on Sunday when nanny was watching Londyn I went food shopping because Josh was working on the house and I could hardly do it. I am stressing about my hospital bag. Same as last time so Sunday I want to have it ready. We signed up Londyn for school. I'm so excited to have her in that environment 4 days a week. I hope she likes it!

Ahhhh pregnancy brain I forgot to write up a entry. So let me try to recal what happened last week. I'm sure I was whining about something. I've been so over this pregnancy. Feeling so useless. I try to clean the boxes then I get so tired. It's hard to handle work, home and Londyn while being pregnant. So it's almost over and I'm nervous but happy to try and have some or little energy.

So we are just getting settled into out house. Boxes and boxes all over but I know eventually we will get it all out and the house together. Right now I'm just too tired to do anything. Today and tomorrow are really hot 95 & 98. My doctor told me I should work from home but I'm going to try and deal with it. I lost 7 pounds because of gestational diabetes so I feel a little lighter. So time is flying by and I can't wait to meet you!! We still don't have your name picked out but we will before I get to hospital. Daddy and I can't agree. Whatever it is I'm sure it will be beautiful and fit you perfect.

Looking forward to: giving my little girl a name
I've been feeling kind of sad for the up coming birth of our new little girl. I'm trying to envision how Londyn will act and will she think I'm replacing her. Maybe I'm over reacting because I'm emotional and pregnant but I feel like I already see her being mean towards me. I will never replace my first born beautiful little ginger. She's the cutest child I have ever seen and makes me laugh all the time. I hope they grow up super close and are close forever. So Londyn I hope you do read this and know that I wanted to have another baby for you. So you aren't lonely and later in life you have a friend to play with and vacation with. Trust me I have seen only children and I don't want you growing up a spoiled brat. So you will thank me later in life. I want you to know I will never chose favorites but I have had the best 2 years of my life spending it with you. I love you so much!!!
