Crib Bedding

A friend of mine asked about my bedding today so I thought I'd look up bedding at target.com and found 2 that I liked. I want something thats cheap but doesn't look cheap and I know target is the best place for that.

Here's Set 1:


Set 2:


Both come in sets and are no more than $70!

25 weeks and less than 100 days left!

25 Weeks Pregnant

My ticker says 104 days but again, since I'll be having a c-section 1 week before I have 97 days left!

I had a little scare on friday and had to go to the L&D, I was hooked up to monitors and given IV for severe dehydration after crapping and barfing my brains out. All the labs came back really good and no sign of anything bad. So I'm not sure if it was caused by a bacteria or virus but I'm finally a lot better. The baby was very active and his heart was really strong. I managed to lose about 7-10 lbs. which I can see in my face. I don't know exactly how much I weighed before I got sick but I know it was more than my last appt. and according to my last appt. I'm down about 7 lbs. so it can be anywhere between 7 and 10. I see my doctor this thursday so I know he'll be upset that I lost weight, lol. In the beginning I wasn't gaining weight and he thought I was dieting or something, yeah right. Let's see what he thinks this time.

I recieved the cloth wipies last week but still haven't recieved the diapers. I can't wait! We're going to set up our room this weekend since we found out that the crib is ready for us. It's funny but we're setting up our room exactly how we had it when Audrey was born. The bed, crib, dresser and tv in the same exact spot. Oh and I'm happy to report that I now have a door to my bathroom. So I no longer have to run to the hallway bathroom in the middle of the night, Naty finally moved the wall over and attached the door so we can now enter our bathroom through our room! its not nice though but it will be soon!

I'll have to post pics of our room after we're done.

Look what I bought!

Ok, years ago when I first attempted cloth diapering Bubbs I was very unsuccessful with it. I didn't even think to look online or to do reasearch instead I trusted those around me to "teach" me how to cloth diaper my son and that was not fun. He constantly went through and soaked his bedding all the time, after about 2 weeks I totally gave up and threw them all away. So when it came to Audrey I didn't even want to attempt it at all BUT now, I have Youtube and lots of stuff online and came to the realization that I wasn't using inserts or folding them right for a little boy. Also, maybe "old school" diapering wasn't for me and maybe all in ones (AIO) will work loads better! Well this time I've been doing my homework and decided to go with a lady that makes AIOs on etsy. She had 100% feedback and people compared her to bumgenius! I was really happy to hear that! Since bumgenius are about $36 for a 2-pack when she sells them for $9 each! so thats a 50% savings. So I decided to show all my reasearch to Naty and he agreed that these might be the one's for us and said I could purchase 5 now and 5 next month and so on so that its not ONE big amount and one time. I also did some reading on reusable wipes and found some on etsy too.




I bought other colors but didn't want to upload everything but in addition to these I'll be adding hemp liners to absorb and I'll probably be using disposables when we travel so that I don't have an emergency but we'll see, it depends on a lot if we're going to a gathering at our family's houses then we'll use the AIOs but if we're going somewhere else then I'll use the disposables. Like I said, it depends.

6 months!

24 Weeks Pregnant

I made it! My baby is now viable!! thank you GOD! It still isn't a good idea to have a baby this early on so I pray he continues baking BUT I'm happy that my baby has a chance if I were to go into preterm labor. Ok! since Easter my stomach popped out even more, it has grown and you can def. tell that I'm pregnant and not just fatter. Little Nate is also moving TONS! constantly and loves to go through my skin when I'm bend over or getting off the bed and it always scares me. I usually jump or scream cause its that intense of a kick, doesn't hurt but it startles me every time.

I was just imagining how he would look and I think he's gonna look exactly like Bubbs. In the ultrasound pic you can see his huge cheeks and his profile looks like Bubbs already it's so cute. I can't wait to meet this little guy! he's so wanted by everyone.

So my friend wants to have me a baby shower but Naty and I aren't liking that idea so we decided not to have one. I'll just invite people over to see him after he's born cause I can not deal with another party right now. I'm still recovering from Bubbs' party and that was MONTHS ago. I'd rather celebrate his life in another way, probably a BBQ after he's here already. But we need to start getting ready and buying things here and there cause I don't want to be getting things at the last minute. I'll start with his all in one diapers and collecting clothes from friends, lol. I have 2 friends that want to pass on their baby clothes and I say, bring them on! anyway, back to cleaning....

23 Weeks

23 Weeks Pregnant

23 weeks already! and feeling the weight and pressure already. A lot of people say that I don't even look pregnant but I feel it and my stomach really popped in the last 3 days and for Easter I looked really big, lol.

I'm having a lot of leg pain and Naty made me walk last night and I felt so heavy when we we're done but I know its going to help me except for the part that he wanted to walk to King Taco, he's crazy! I said, heck no! But I did buy the maternity belt but don't really wear it since it feels a little uncomfortable.

The baby has been moving like crazy and I feel him everyday, ALL DAY! He's constantly moving around in there and esp. when I'm sitting or laying down he becomes the most active. I can feel him now! while I sit and type, he's up high already and trying to go through my skin. On Easter he kicked me really hard that it scared me but I was happy right after cause I knew he was ok.

On my last appt. my doc said everything was good and his heartbeat was at 150 which is really strong. I also had a little scare and had to go to the L&D but no contractions but a high fever, after lots of blood tests they said I was coming down with something and sure enough the next day I was miserable and was sick for about 1.5 weeks.

My next appt. is April 30th
