oh my the baby boy is getting larger in my tummy, but I feel as though my tummy is not expanding to allow for enough room. Plus he's moving alot.

Baby Crib

Joe picked up our crib from Babies R Us today after church. He used the versatile Saturn SC2 coupe as his uhaul of choice. ha! The Honda was insufficient for crib transportation, it barely fit the crib mattress we took home last night. Anyway, here's a pic of the crib put together with the mattress inside. I put a crib sheet on it, so it wouldn't look so bare. We haven't bought any nursery bedding yet.

 

Cribs, Changing Tables, and Mattresses... oh my!

Had to work this morning, then ate some grilled cheese, then Joe and I headed out to Baby Depot to check out their crib selection. I had a lady look at me and say, "you're having a girl" and I was like nope, a boy. I don't know what about how I'm carrying baby joey looks like I'm carrying a girl. ha!

Anyway, we then went to CarMax after Baby Depot to look at a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with third row seating. Joe said it was too much money, so alas... the car search continues. Then we headed to Babies R Us after a quick snack at Panera.

I think we were trying to decided between 3 different sets of cribs/dressers before we finally picked one that we liked and had a good price. Joe was savy and brought a 20% off coupon that he saw on one of the packagaes I had received as a gift in the mail from my registry.

Then when we were checking out the sales lady that helped us order the crib and dresser came up to the register and gave us coupons for each item, so we essentially saved over $160 total on the crib, the dresser/changing table unit, and the crib mattress. Thank you to Brenda the sales lady at Babies R Us. Saving money like that is always a good thing. I'm happy about our purchases today. Even though I didn't get a car.

30 weeks Pregnant

 

This was taken at my baby shower today. Officially I'll be 30 weeks on Monday, but it's so close. Will post more pics later.

 

Thursday I went to Focused Imaging to do a 3D ultrasound. Baby Ormont wasn't cooperating very well, so these are the best shots we could get. He's so cute. Wish we could've gotten better shots. However, we definately got a good gender shot. It was funny, the radiologist said, "if there was ever a doubt of him being a boy, there isn't now. wow, we never see babies with their legs that open." ha! way to go boy!

This was definately a good gender shot, when we went at 19 weeks, it was hard to tell from my point of view, not the ultrasound lady's view obviously, since she was right.

Going to my Texas baby shower tonight, I'll try to post pics today or when I get back to Nashville.

Packer Procrastinator

I'm bad at packing. I'm always doing it last minute. I'm maybe 1/4th of the way done for packing for tomorrow. I need to pack Lucy's bag too, she's going to be staying at my aunt's house for the weekend.

Anyway--

Cloth Diapers

So Joe and I are going to try our hand at cloth diapering our little baby boy, for more reasons than one. But one of those reasons is because we want to. ha! And it will be cheaper in the long run with additional children.

I'm thinking of using a combination of brands that I've reviewed. I'm thinking of using some gDiapers, a hybrid diaper. I think having the gRefills(disposable) will be good for on the go and and out and about trips and the gCloth inserts for at home to save money.



Another brand I really am excited about are the bumGenius all in one cloth diapers. These are the easiest to put on and take off and are more like a disposable in that aspect. It also has pocket in the back to insert an additional liner for overnight.


I may try a few fuzzi bunz, which is also an all in one diaper, but with snaps.

And for newborn use, I may just try prefolds and the prorap cover that has a lower cut for until the umbilical cord falls off and/or the mio bambino prefold system.


I'll definately get a roll of flushable liners to use with the any of the cloth diapers (won't need that for the gDiaper's disposable insert).

Grandma and Grandpa aren't too excited, but they said they'll have their own supply of disposable diapers on hand. However, I think they'll probably change a few of the cloth diapers for their grandbaby, especially if it's the easy all in one with velcro and if it's just a wet diaper. ;o)

 

Tonight was my baby shower with the ladies at church. I got some cute stuff. Thanks ladies.

Monday is pretty much over. TOday I worked from 7:15 - 6:00, made lunch at lunch and also dinner at lunch. Came home at 6 and ate some spaghetti and then headed out to BSF. Tonight we went through John 5.

My back is pretty sore. Wonder if that's from an increasing belly? Anyway, I'm super happy that I get off at 4pm tomorrow, plus it's my first baby shower of the week.

Can't think of anything else to write. lata

darn- I was having so much fun on saturday, I forgot to post to my blog. oh well.

Just got back from home fellowship group. Small attendance tonight, but still good to see everyone. Tuesday night is my shower hosted by home fellowship group and church. I'm excited. It should be fun. I guess I'll have to post a belly pic from the shower then.

Joe is going to san antonio this weekend. I'm going to Houston this weekend. Lucy goes to my aunt's house. Wish I could bring her with, but $150 is a little much right now.

still trying to decide on a vehicle.

My Glider

 

Tonight Joe and I put together the glider. I thought it was going to be more difficult than it was, but it was super easy. It's very nice and I enjoyed rocking in it. Can't wait till the baby gets here. We have it in our room, because it won't fit in the baby's room with a crib, twin bed, and a dresser/changing table.

Me again! oh posting everyday for 30 days.... not sure if I can make it. ha!

anyway today I got a package in the mail. It's a glider from my registry!!!!! yay! Thanks to the ladies who are hosting my Texas baby shower. I can't wait to set it up. Hoping to put it together tomorrow night or on saturday.

going to take lucy to work with me tomorrow. Her right eye seems to be bothering her. It's hard to tell, but it looks a little red where it should be white and she has some white gunk coming out of the corner of her eye. Poor thing. I hope she doesn't wake up to crusty eye in the morning. :o(

That's the nice thing about working at a vet hospital. I can just bring her to work with me. ah till next time.

Got to sleep in a little this morning. I like getting to go in 30 minutes later on wednesdays when I have to work wednesdays. Went to Babies-r-us and Wal-mart today. Got some shopping done. Then came home just in time to eat and head over to church for AWANA. I'm so tired now. I close tomorrow and FridaY and I work on Saturday morning.

We may go test drive some more cars on saturday. We test drove two last Saturday. The Nissan ROgue and the Hyundai Santa Fe. If I had lots of money I would buy me a new Toyota Highlander Hybrid with 3rd row seating to accomodate up to 7 passengers.

I think baby boy is getting bigger, but my belly is not. Or at least that's what it feels like right now.

Lookie, 3rd post in a row. I might actually be able to blog every day.

Today we had our 4th Bradley Birth Class tonight. We practiced some breathing and pushing techniques. Very helpful. We had to leave early, so we missed the video. bummer. Joe's got alot work he has to finish. Next week class is cancelled, but that's ok because I'll be going to my first baby shower. I can't wait to see all the cute baby stuff I'll be showered with.

I only work till noon tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can get around to taking a picture of me and my belly of 28 weeks. That's it for now, until tomorrow.

Well since I randomly posted yesterday, I figured that I can try and post for 30 days for the National Blog POsting Month.

Today went to work. Not exciting. Tonight I'm going to my BSF class. I skipped last week, so now I'm two weeks behind. I'm really trying to spend time in the word on a daily basis, but it's sooo hard. I know there are things that I put in my life that I should take out, or just put time in the word first before I do things, like sit on my butt watching t.v. or talking on the phone, or facebook, or blogging.

Maybe I just need to get up early to get my time in. I'll try to get a pic of my belly. I'm 28 weeks today.

 

We tried to find a pumpkin the same size as my belly. I'm thinking maybe the one we picked out is bigger than my belly.
