since elisabeth was born 2 weeks early, and i'm now 19 weeks pregnant...i'm counting it as being half-way there! as far as i'm concerned, this baby can be born in august...it'll save us an extra year of preschool, etc. lol (i'd hate to miss the school cut-off!)
baby's definitely growing! i can feel it moving and kicking quite a bit, but not with my hand on my tummy yet, so i can't let anyone else feel it yet. i think elisabeth is the most excited about the baby, she wants to feel it move so badly, and constantly talks about it coming. she just can't wait.
so i have some great friends. i've already been given a bassinet. i have a crib, matress, toddler bed, stroller, convertible car seat, and exersaucer all promised to me too! it's amazing! there's definitely a jogging stroller/carrier car seat combo we want to purchase, but compared to being given everything else, it's no big deal to buy one big thing for ourselves.
still debating on the cloth diaper issue, but i've been sent a boxful of prefolds, so i can at least give them a try. i'm leaning towards it for the most part and have found a great alternative to disposables when we're out and about and don't want to mess with cloth either...gdiapers...they have a waterproof outer cover that's washable, and disposable liners that you can flush, compost or throw away...and they are 100% biodegradable, good for baby and the environment. we'll see...
so next week is my ultrasound, and this baby had better cooperate! i want to know if it's a boy or a girl so we can decide on the name and start buying stuff. i'm so excited to start sewing the nursery stuff and other items i have planned...but i have to know pink or blue first! it's like waiting for christmas...only worse!
