An update on the pregnancy and more nesting.....

It has been a while since I updated you on our pregnancy. To say the least - it has  been going great! We are just simply enjoying this second trimester to the fullest, embracing this shared pregnancy every step of the way. The belly is growing bigger and bigger. And Munchkin is being a little gymnast inside of Beth's belly. We are almost in week 27 - so the end is nearing..... With that, I am really getting into nesting mode....

There are a few more things we will need to get, but mostly, I (!) need to get the room organized for the little bugger to move in, and re-child-proof the house. Yet, there are still so many things to DO before the arrival of the newest family member: classes to take, last vacations to take, and getting a bit more ready mentally. It seems that thirteen weeks is a long time, but in reality, it is going to fly by quickly. I am anxious to hold that baby in my arms, have it sleep on me, and yes, change tons of diapers. Until then, I am thrilled to bond with the baby the way I can - in a very special and beautiful way that Beth and I found to work for us. We are so blessed.

So, I am planning on cloth diapering this baby as well. I do have a few store-bought diapers, mostly in size medium, and I have all my homemade diapers as well, which are medium and large (see my very first one here and a tutorial here). So when I saw a nice sale the other day, I had to get two new diapers that are adjustable, so we can use it very early on, and until the baby gets bigger. It's in my favorite color, too: green. I also got my very first pair of leg warmers - I always wanted them but they seemed more expensive when we had Peanut, so I never got to buy nor use them. It was a bargain and I got a design that will suit a boy or a girl.....

I have not had many snaps diapers, so I am curious how they will work. My daughter eventually figured out how to open the Velcro-diapers, and stopped wearing cloth diapers all together. Her comment: "Too big, Mami." Big bummer.....
I found this brand online, I think over one of the natural baby blogs - I can not remember, sorry. But here is a link to her website: My Cloth Baby.  She has the cutest diapers. For sure, I will be visiting her online store soon again.... Her service was excellent with five stars.

(Disclaimer: I don't know her personally, nor do I get anything for advertising her here.)

Even Peanut tried them on, and they fit perfectly.

So - I am nesting..... 
and I feel blessed and overjoyed and content with how things are right now. Our God is an awesome God - He works things out for the good. I am thankful for Him and His mercy and grace, for His faithfulness and His love. And I can not wait for what else He has planned for ALL our lives.....
