Diario di Mamma Jenn

Today we are at 18 weeks!! Two more weeks to go and we will be halfway through. Next week I am scheduled to have the BIG ultrasound, basically the anatomy ultrasound. I hope that the baby cooperates and allows her/him self to be seen, we'd like to find out the gender. We still have to decide on a male name, we've already chosen a female name...boys names are so difficult!

On a different topic, this past weekend we were invited to a baptism. It was Izzie's first time going to mass since her own baptism and we were only able to stay the first 5 minutes of the mass because she wanted to dance around on the pews. I felt so embarrassed, but isn't expected for a 19 month old to want to dance around? She probably felt joy, maybe that was her way of praising God!! Yeah, that's it!! Ok, who am I kidding, right? I tell my husband that I hope that we can baptize our baby #2 at the Vatican because I've heard that the ceremonies there are quick and short, at least that way whomever would have to deal with Izzie wouldn't go super crazy. Even though we didn't get to attend the baptismal mass, we did enjoy the reception afterwards, it was a 4 hour lunch! That is how the Italians party. . . have a LONG lunch! Here are some pics of my hubby and Izzie, myself and again Izzie.

Well, that's all I have for now. . . until next time!

Today my little teddy bear, that's baby #2, turns 16 weeks...time is still going by too slow for me. However, since I am no longer feeling horrible with nausea I don't mind that time is going by slow. My next appointment won't be until another 2 weeks, I wonder if this time the baby will cooperate and let us see her/his gender. Yesterday my little Princess turned 19 months!! She has been growing up so fast!! Sometimes when I see a baby I cannot believe that Izzie was once tiny. I tell my hubby that I don't remember Izzie being little. She is still as active as ever if not even more...she talks more, although we don't understand what she's saying all the time and thanks be to God she's still a very healthy toddler. Tomorrow she has a check-up with her Pediatrician...poor Izzie, she hates him! Well, he's not the best looking doctor I must admit, but he is very nice to her which makes me feel awful since she always always always cries during her check-ups. Well that's all for now, the pics below are samples of her getting into even the smallest things :)

Okay, so I don't want this blog to become my place to complaint, but today I'm not feeling well. Lately I've had more energy and I have even cooked some during lunch and that's a big step from not being able to step into my kitchen at all! Today for some odd reason I am just not myself. I am having some weird tummy pain and I've been feeling it all day long. At least I know it's not contractions because this pain is at the mouth of my tummy. I'm sure it's just one of those weird days, at least I pray it is. Well, here's to a better day tomorrow.
