A gift from Hubby!

So...it was supposed to be a Valentine's gift...but we decided we're just giving each other cards this year. So it turned into a baby shower gift. I got it last night...and haven't stopped playing with it since :) It's our diaper bag...and I LOVE it!!

Inside of the bag

The changing pad is built right in, and can detach

Outside of the bag

It has straps on the back side so I can wear it like a backpack, or is has a shoulder strap. It also has these cool straps you can use to attach it to your stroller handle! I'll have to try that later and add a pic of that :) Can you tell I'm excited?

Updated Nursery Pics

So no dr. appt today. With all the ice and snow we got the office was closed today. I have to call back tomorrow morning to reschedule. I'm not sure if they'll want to see me, since next week starts my weekly appointments, but we'll see. 

DH stayed home today...and we were productive. He showed great patience hanging up the letters of her name. Who knew how hard it would be to hang some letters...let alone decide how we wanted them to look. I think he did a great job! See for yourself in the second picture. We thought it would be better to hang them above her changing table instead of her crib...in case they fall off accidentally :)

34 weeks

Happy snowy day! Yes Virginia...it's snowing in Maryland today! I love that I can actually enjoy the snow...and not "have" to go out in it. Although...I do need to go to the store...but I think that can wait :) Tomorrow is our 34 week dr. appt. I'm hoping that I haven't gained too much weight. My baby shower provided lots of goodies...not just goodies for the baby...but edible goodies :) Jenni...those cupcakes were the bomb!!

I'm sending out a HUGE hug to everyone that was there...both physically and in spirit. Thank you all for all the wonderful gifts. We can't wait to start using all of them :)

Here's a pic of me...not the best...but whaddya gonna do. I am pregnant after all :)

New poll....Guess her weight

Ok....be nice. Remember she has to come out of me in some way :)
Enjoy!

Cloth Diaper Pics!

Lucky you....2 posts in one day! That's rare :)

Thought I'd show you the cloth diapers we got in the mail yesterday. We're so excited to use them! Enjoy!

These are the diaper covers that go over the following diapers:

Here's the actual diaper. I put the tape there so you can compare size. It's sooo tiny!

And these are for when she gets a little bigger. They are one size fits all, so you can snap them down to make the size smaller or bigger. They don't need a cover since they are waterproof.

Birth class and pics!

Dh & I had our first week of birth class last night. It was great! I have to admit I was a little nervous...not knowing what to expect....wanting to make a good impression....worried that the teacher would call on me and I wouldn't know the answer..that type of thing. We talked about the stages of labor...what to pack....when to come to the hospital, so we learned a lot. We got to watch the dvd that showed 2 births...but neither were that bad. I got a little teary eyed in the one video after the baby was born and the mom was holding her. I guess I started to identify with her...and was picturing myself in that situation. Only 8 more weeks and I will be :) I did find out that the hospital that we are delivering at does not provide pacifiers because it interferes with breastfeeding. I thought that was great! There's something I don't have to worry about now. I am set on breastfeeding...and am going to do everything I can to keep doing it as long as possible. I found it really encouraging knowing that we will be in a supportive environment when we deliver.

Anywhoo....here's some pictures I thought I'd share with ya.

This is her coming home outfit:

And a look at her closet now......

Thanks to my lovely sister for providing so many great clothes for her!! She's kind enough to let us use some of my nieces clothes :) Yay!! Thanks Jenni!!

It's a New Year!

It's 2009...can you believe it? In just 2 short months...baby girl will be here! I feel like we have so much to do still...but we're actually doing pretty good. I think we found the perfect coming home outfit...so I'll post a pic of that tonight. It's so cute! In the meantime, here's a pic that was taken on Christmas day....I was 29 weeks in this picture...so we're due for another this week.

Enjoy!
