* This is getting out of control it's either what I wear or I need to slow down on the food. Can't wait until this is over!
Nothing great happened this week just a couple of freak outs. My iPhone died for 4 days and I lost everything. We lost the house wanted in Scotch plains & Josh seems like he is going to nearly have a breakdown. Everything with the baby looks good so far.

** Can I look anymore horrible?? Josh is already getting sick of taking these pictures. Sounds hard 1 picture a week he must be exausted.
It's a girl!!! We are really happy Londyn is getting a sister. I knew all along it was a girl I guess it's women intuition. We are having a hard time agreeing on a name. Last time we loved Londyn and both agreed it seemed so much easier. I'm sure in the next 4 months we will have something. I hope!

* The best part of this picture is how Londyn is so cute!!! She messed up what I wrote which was 1/2 halfway there!!!
Half way there!!!!! I can't believe how much faster the second time around goes. I'm 5 months already wow 20 weeks. I'm feeling good which is surprising because I did know I hate being pregnant. 4 more weeks until I get tested for gestational diabetes which I think I have because my head has been killing me, same symptoms as last time. This week I've been pretty stressed out. We are very close to selling our house and just thinking of it stresses me out. Then I have days imagining us in a different place starting new and I think we'll be really happy. I went shopping for Londyn 2nd birthday this past weekend & had so much fun doing it. I really hope we will be around in our house in 1 month to celebrate. Either way I'll just move it to Veronica's & not stress over something I can't change.
How far along? 20!! weeks

* well here we go again wearing black you can't see much. BUT I am huge that's all you need to know --- Londyn thinks so too
This week I was in so much pain. I'm back on the meds to try and get rid of this bacteria. I thought my doctor said she can't keep pumping me with meds & then she said it was ok. My stomach feels like there is a fire in it. Not to be gross but it also gives me the runs. Dr Brown called and said my magnesium was normal and my potassium was normal. Perfect! So I've just been not feeling good and tired.
How far along? 19 weeks

* I love how Londyn always wants to be a part of the pictures. In this one it looks like she wrote the 18 weeks (will probably have better handwriting then her mommy)
Well this week was very uneventful. The only surprise is my new hair cut. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. After I had Londyn I stopped dying my hair because of cost and convenience. Now I kind of can't wait to dye my hair, work out, take care of my skin & get some color. I say that now probably because I feel fat and ugly. Once I have these 2 kids I probably won't have time to even brush my hair.
How far along? 18 weeks
Size of baby: bell pepper
Weight of baby: 7 ounces & 5 1/2 inches
Baby progress: ears are now in the right position ~whew good thing hope they landed perfectly
Total weight gain: 11 pounds eek
Maternity clothes? I'm still on the search for more options. I remember with Londyn my love handles weren't this big & now they are huge. Tight shirts look horrible so I mostly buy big shirts. I think I'm prepared to get gestational diabetes so I pigged out the first few months. I am eating salad for lunch all week.

Here is my facebook/friend announcement that took a long time. I get these ideas from other people and I have to do it. This took forever because I ordered the chalk board that Josh said he could have made and it took 1 month to ship. Anyway it was stressful getting Londyn to cooperate but I think we did a good job. Don't mind the ugly handwriting and Josh commented on. Oh & I had to do it 2 ways but the first I like better.
* This is the last time you will see this mop on my head I am cuting 5 inches off - can't wait!
Whew today was a busy day. I was on a world tour of doctors. 10 am blood work, 11:15 potassium doc more blood work & 2:00 high risk doctor. All appointments I was quite satisfied with the results. Dr. Brown said this pregnancy seems better with the low potassium. That it took faster to get up to a normal level then it did with Londyn. The high risk doctor was very informative telling me about tests they have done on patients that have had past history of preterm labor. She mentioned I can take a shot of progesterone every week but it might not make any difference. So I decided not to put myself through that. She said it could still happen and when I told her my fear of going in NYC at work or on the train she decided to measure my cervix at every ultrasound. If it gets any shorter they will put me on shots. I'm hoping that this works all I know is that it made me feel better talking to her. I actually feel great no complaints yet!
