Fluffy Mail!!!!




I am so excited. I found a great webpage that sells cloth diapers pretty cheaply, and I had a coupon code which made them even cheaper. I am so excited to get them washed and ready for baby. The ones that I got in the mail today are pocket type diapers, meaning the microfiber inserts that absorb the pee and poop actually go in a pocket sewn into the diaper. The inserts come out in the wash and get clean. I got some really cute diapers and I just had to share!
Thanks for indulging me in my craziness.

29 Weeks

So far the weeks seem to be flying by for me. At the beginning each week seemed to take forever, now it seems like every week is getting shorter and shorter. I can't believe we are already at 29 weeks, we have made it to the final trimester and the due date is quickly approaching. The baby's room is not ready yet and we still don't have any of her furniture. Although we do have her crib and mattress, and bedding. At least this way if she comes early she will have a place to sleep. As far as symptoms or pains there have not been much to speak of (with the exception o heartburn) and I know I have been pretty lucky. I do have problems sleeping now and I can only imagine that they are going to get worse. The only thing I keep thinking is that in these last few weeks, my body is just starting to prepare me for after the baby comes.
I did start to buy some of the cloth diapers and I am so excited for my "fluffy" mail to arrive. I still need many more, and I am sure as the due date gets closer I will be purchasing many more. I really want to have everything ready and washed before the beginning of January. My thought process is that any time after 36 weeks is considered full term, which means anytime after Jan. 6 is game on! I want her to arrive right on time for her, but hopefully not to early. She is getting so much stronger and I am sure so much more cramped in my belly. Her kicks are getting so much stronger and she is even able to move things off of my belly now with her movements. I don't know what type of gymnastics she is doing in there but she can move from my ribs all the way down to my groin at the same time. We just keep praying that she will be strong and healthy, and that we will be as ready as possible for her arrival.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
