3 days until our 3D/4D Ultrasound!
55 days until Cash is full term!
76 days until my due date!
89 days until Cash will definitely be here!

That is so crazy to think that in only two months Cash could come at anytime! I know that I should be enjoying this time as much as I can, because soon I will have to answer to his every beck and call, but I really just can't wait!

It's also crazy to know that in three days we will get a sneak peek of what our son is going to look like! It kinda weirds me out a little, its just so amazing that they can do that! I'm so excited though, and a little nervous! I hope he cooperates so we get some good pictures of his face!

Fuzzi Bunz!

After much research and debate and then a little more research we've decided to cloth diaper! Who would have guessed you could get so excited about something your child is going to be crapping in! Haha. The money savings with cloth diapering is amazing, not to mention all the other benefits of CDing as well (i.e. - less diaper rash, environmentally friendly, one time cost, in most cases they can be used for a second child as well) Plus, how cute will these look on Cash's little booty!


We decided to go with Fuzzi Bunz One Size which will fit Cash from birth until he is out of diapers, which is GREAT! They are a little costly initially, but the fact that they will be used for the entire diaper phase evens it all out. They run about $18 a piece depending where you get them. Ideally we'd like to have a stash of 24 that way laundry will only have to be done about twice a week. It'll take us some time to get there, but we're going to do our best. We'll just have to use disposables if need be until our stash lasts at least 1.5 days. We also want to use prefolds and covers, which are a cheaper option, the FBs will be much easier when we are out and about since they are so much like a disposable though. And fitteds with covers at night when he's tiny.


We made a registry on abbyslane.com if anyone is interested in checking it out! Its free shipping too! Its full of TONS of useful information, and the gift registry feature it pretty awesome. Its under my name, obviously ha ha.

Double Digits!



How far along? 26 weeks! Only 98 days until my due date!
Total weight gain/loss: I really don't even want to know.
Maternity clothes? Yup, that is not going to change!
Sleep: Back to sleeping like crap, thank you heartburn.
Best moment this week: Our baby shower in Fernandina! We had a lot of fun!
Food cravings: Nothing any different.
Gender: Hopefully he's still all boy! haha
Labor Signs: None and let's keep it that way!
Belly Button in or out? Its out!
What I miss: Laying on my back and being able to breath! I feel like I can't get comfortable no matter what. I just feel pretty huge, and I still have at least another eleven weeks!
What I am looking forward to: Cash being here already!
Milestones: I can see him moving around A LOT more! When I put my hand on my belly it actually feels like little hands or feet moving around, its neat.
