Primary Colors

The bedding set for the nursery arrived today! Thanks to Linda, Aunt Cheryl, and Great Aunt Gaye. The set included the quilt, bumper, valence, diaper stacker, hamper, and sheet. This goes with our "Primary Colors" theme perfectly and is just so cute!! Not that I'm biased or anything ... Irv let me pick this out without his approval, and I was a tad concerned he might not care for it as much as I did. I had nothing to fear because he really liked it.

Speaking of colors (mainly Green) ~ We're considering cloth diapers. Possibly BumGenius or FuzziBunz. Cloth diapers have come along way and both our mothers used cloth with us. However, for the first 4-5 weeks we'll more than likely use the Seventh Generation chlorine-free disposables. There's a boutique, Peppermint, in nearby Richardson that has cloth diapering classes. We will definitely be making use of those. (Quick ad: If you are looking for an economical, eco-friendly household cleaner line, then check out GetClean. Just fabulous and very baby/kid safe!!)

Now THAT I felt!

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008....9:30pm....Irv felt the baby for the first time! I was wrong on a previous post that this moment had already happened. No doubt about it this time! ;o)

Just Practicing

I'm working on my video skills so I thought I'd practice and post a short video . . . Here's a video of Mia helping me clean up after a PB&J sandwich.

Baby Bump

So, finally, a picture of the baby bump. This was taken on August 25th (17+ wks).

A bit of time has passed since then and I am feeling a lot of movement now (21+wks). I'm not sure what all is happening in there, but the little one is definitely very entertained. Irv can even feel the movement too!!

We go in for our second sonogram on Monday, Oct. 6th. For now, I've gained about 11 lbs and am feeling pretty good. Just a touch of lower back pains as the day ends, but with the yoga and Bradley classes, we're learning how to combat those issues.
