So, a few of you might know this due to my unusual size in recent photos, but we’re happily expecting our second baby come May or June! We’re having a sweet little girl this time around, and we’re planning on naming her Katelyn Noreen Malone. This was a little harder than my pregnancy with Lilly. We had some complications in the beginning, and we really wanted to postpone telling everyone until we felt a little better about things. So far I’ve not gained much weight, but you couldn’t tell that by my size. It seems like she sucks everything from me, and I get the leftovers! I’m positive one pound gained. This time I didn’t have all of Tammy’s cooking to fatten me up like I did with Lilly. I made a chocolate cake for Paul, and I ate just about all of it while he was out of town!!! I’m about 27 weeks along, and we’ve got everything just about ready for her to get here. Still trying to get Lilly used the the idea of a being a big sister. I tell her that I have a baby in my belly, and she thinks I’m telling her to put one of her baby dolls up my shirt! Boy is it going to be a big surprise when she sees that screaming little monster for the first time! I think that she’s going to make a great big sister. She’s handled babies of friends pretty well. The only thing I really worry about is her smothering the baby with kisses. She seems to think that’s all you do with them!!!!!! Paul has done really well with helping me get things ready for her, and he’s been a champ with the whole school while pregnant. I have a wonderful slew of doctors that I get to see about every three weeks it seems. We’ve had an ultrasound a visit with my high risk doctor, and it’s just been so interesting to watch her grow each time. I wish that we’d had the opportunity to do this with Lilly, but it may not have been as special as it was with this one ! So now we patiently wait for her to make her arrival, and we finish up whatever we can before she gets here. I’ll post what my actual date of delivery should be as we get closer to the day ( I get to have another c-setion so this one is planned!)! We promise to have the ultrasound pictures posted as soon as one of us gets a free moment to play with the scanner!
