jelly bean caught in a pic!

just a quick post to show the new baby's ultrasound pic. i am 10 weeks 2 days, which makes my due date 11-12-11 :)

exciting news!

Alix is gonna be a big sis!! we had a midwife appointment today and got to hear the heartbeat and it was awesome! i'm about 10 weeks along. we have an ultrasound on monday morning to determine more closely the due date so hopefully i'll be able to add some pics of the little jelly bean on monday :)

cloth diapering

about 6 weeks ago we decided to switch Alix from disposable to cloth diapers. it's been a learning process, but the money savings that will come from not having to buy diapers every few weeks will be pretty awesome. and some of the diapers are adorable!

here's Alix with the first diapers we got in the mail! plain boring colors, but in the end all they're for is catching poo ;)


they make her booty nice and fluffy so when she falls down it hurts less


getting some more "fluffy mail". Alix likes playing with the diapers


Modeling my favorite diaper- the print is called math :D


rockin' the batman booty! i got this one in the wrong size so it's too small, but i had to get one pic of her in it cuz it's awesome!


giraffe print. this one is made with a minky fabric so it's really soft!


cow print diaper with cow leg warmers. she was mooing the rest of the day!


i made this diaper... it's not perfect, but it works and i learned from making it so that's what counts




my silly girl wearing a diaper as a hat... she's a goof!


i know what you're thinking... "ew, you wash the dirty diapers?" and my answer is... YES I DO! it's not that bad. we use liners that can be flushed for solids and a pre-rinse before washing makes sure i'm not washing them in pee. these aren't your mama's old fashion cloth diapers!
