First off let me thank you for spending time out of your day to read me blabbering. :)
Now let me tell you about myself. I'm married to a wonderful man. We got married November 30th 2012. Then three weeks later we found out that we were expecting a little one. We were living in an apartment but when we found out that we were expecting our little one we really wanted to get out of our small one bedroom apartment. Well one of our family members said there was a trailer that was about to come up for rent. So we called the owner two or three times and left a note on their door. We knew about the trailer before anyone else, including them. lol. Due to that fact they gave us first pick. We came to look at it and loved it right away. It has land and two bed rooms and two bathrooms along with a place for a washer and dryer and here is the thing we love the most an icemaker! You never know what you miss until you no longer have it and an icemaker is on that list! Yay! So we took it. It is so much better than our old apartment. There is so much more room and it has made us feel happier as a family. We both know that it will take a while to get where we want to be but we are inching closer everyday!
Right after we moved in we had the BIG ultrasound where we find out if its a boy or a girl. Drum roll!!!!! ITS A GIRL!!!!!! Now at the beginning of my pregnancy we were stocking up on diapers (disposables) but one day I came across a study about the chemicals that were in disposables in order to keep the babies dry. It is linked to reproductive problems (not that I would mind that in her teen years lol but as she got older I would mind it) and it is linked to cancer. Neither of which I'd like near her little bum. My husband, luckily feels the same way. So we have decided to CLOTH DIAPER!!!!!!! We haven't actually had her yet she is due September 3rd 2013 but we plan to cloth diaper from the time we get home. It may not work for us but we are going to try our hardest to make it work. The benefits of cloth diapers are great! Save money, no chemicals, potty train faster and if we have anymore kids we can reuse them for the next baby. (or I can sell them) Since about 2 almost three months ago I taught myself to sew I'm going to make them. (I'm really excited to make them.)
Sewing!!!!! Being self taught is great. I love it. If I mess up I rip the seams out and I try a different way. I have made burp cloths. They are really cute. (I may put up a tutorial on how I made mine.)
And I have made my own nursing pillow. I can also put up how I did that. And my own nursing pillow cover. I have a lot more I would like to sew before our daughter gets here. Sleeping Sack so she is nice and warm at night. Curtains for her windows, closet (we took the door off) and a curtain for her shower. I'm going to make me some breast pads. Some cloth wipes. Sheets for her crib mattress. I was going to recover her car seat. A nursing cover and many more things that I cant remember at the point in time! (Prego brain)
We are very eager to meet our little girl. We have chosen the name Lorelai Kristine. I will continue to post on things I have made and things I want to make and how I am doing. Thank you for reading! Have a great day!
