1) Getting a car seat! (Target)
2) Getting a crib!! (IKEA)
3) Purchasing our first set of cloth diapers (colors: pink, blue, light yellow and orange.) they are so cute! (bum genius)
4) Having my parents come and getting organized! They were amazing - but I was surprised just how many projects I've been unable to accomplish. I mean, obviously, I can't do anything, but it was just nice to have a sparkling house and get started on the nursery furniture and organization. Thanks M&D! You're super. :-)
5) Nursery pics will come as it comes along. Not much to post as of yet.
6) Baby update: she weighs 3 lbs today - which was totally a surprise, but so great. :-) That's about 10 days ahead of schedule, but all babes grow differently here and there in the last trimester. She was a little harder to see during the ultrasound and the sonographer said that was because she's getting chubbier (more muscle too, etc.). When the Dr. measured me, she said, "Where are you hiding this baby?" I laughed. I'm still pretty small for 7 mos prego.
7) And I get to drink yet ANOTHER orange goodness next week! But thankfully it's only the one hour test - which means that I can eat breakfast before. If I pass it, they'll not worry about the gestational diabetes, but if it's still elevated (even slightly) they'll just treat me as a gestational diabetic and require blood sugar monitoring and modified diet. Not the end of the world for the next few weeks, but it'd sure be nice if it came back within the normal range.
And on to the weekend!!! I'm going to get crafty and show you some of my bedrest ingenuity. :-)
Happy weekend all.
Love, Lisa
P.S. Will post more pics tomorrow!!
Lisa, I'm using cloth diapers on our little one coming and I started cding my 2 year old about 6 months ago and I'm really enjoying it! I use BG, flips, and prefolds with covers. Have you heard of dapperswappers? It's a great website where you can ask any diaper question you have. there is also a forum for moms pregnant who are due by month and a for sale or trade forum. I've gotten quite a few diapers off of there to try before I decide if I like them or not. I'm especially loving the due date forum because it's moms who are all in the same boat!
