Diapers


I ordered cloth diapers and they finally got here today! Jamie has been using these with Kaylee and they work really well. I'm sure we will use disposables for the first few weeks and such, but I'm happy we won't be generating tons of garbage.
Larkin approves too. It only took her maybe two minutes to find these on the couch.

** I ordered from http://www.softclothbunz.com/ they have a rewards points system and free shipping if you spend enough :)

Who ordered the 3am wake up call?

So last night she woke me up kicking for the first time. I was having a crazy pregnancy dream that I was a barbie in a plastic bag floating in the ocean trying to get away from some pirates....yeah like I said crazy preggo dreams, and then I was a pregnant barbie and the baby was kicking my side, hard! You ever wake yourself up from a dream and have that fuzzy moment of -wait, is this real? Yes it was, well the kicking part :) she was rabbit kicking my left side with some good force behind it. Hopefully this won't be a regular thing now, I have a hard enough time sleeping through the night what with the peeing and the hip aching and all.

Today I have been so so so so tired. I didn't really do anything. Well, I showered. Otherwise I've been a couch potato all day. Norah on the other hand.....she's been a super kicking machine. She's been flipping around and changing positions all day.
So here's the 30 week pic-

Oh and yesterday I managed to paint my toes. It took about an hour....but I tried Emily's advice, basically I sat on the couch and pretzeled myself until I could reach my feet. I did a few toes at a time and every time I stopped and put my legs down Norah let me know what she thought of all the belly squishing. Anyhoo, don't mind my long long monkey toes, baby is doomed to have them too :)

30 weeks

How to sum up being 7.5 months, I'm slower now. Yeah, and it's frustrating. Oh right, and I can't really bend anymore. I'm just about done with socks. We went to Target over the weekend to do the registry stuff and I got two pairs of flipflops while we were there. Now I have a small collection to get me through the summer. Someone needs to paint my toes though. I managed to get the old grown out color off, again back to the bending issue, but I don't even want to attempt to paint ugh. I guess 30 weeks also equals lots of complaining, sorry!
We had our first labor/birth class tonight. Most of it was about anatomy and nutrition review but still interesting. AND we watched a video. Yup on the first night. George survived. At the end of class we were supposed to be doing breathing and relaxation stuff, but Norah kept whomping me so I was just trying not to laugh. It was a little suprising to learn everyones due dates. I was thinking we were maybe a little early in starting classes but this is the one that worked with George's schedule. Most of the other couples are due in Sept. There were maybe eight couples, one due in July, two- including us- due in Aug, and the rest were mid/late Sept.
And I'm sure you all are just reading this to get to the belly picture but you'll have to wait a day! George has the camera at work but promises to bring it home tomorrow. I'm round, but not too big, yet.

From the Garden

The nice weather has really helped the roses bloom. This is the third bouquet I've cut already, there are about two dozen in this vase!

New Moon Trailer

So I just watched the trailer for New Moon, it was good until the end. I mean the graphics are cool, but as soon as it was over all I could think was, wait that's not what happened!
Hopefully it's still going to be good. And I'll need a babysitter by the time it comes out! :)
