New Cloth Diaper Stash! and link up!

I bought these ECONOBUM's from Kelly's Closet

They were BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!

So for $9.95 I got 2! I was pleasantly surprised that they each came with a unbleached Indian pre-fold in it!

What a deal so they were basically $2.50 for each piece!

Oh and the best part is they are one size and grow with baby, just let out the snaps!

I also bought 12 Mother Ease wipes for $2.00 each

They are double thick terricloth!

These are Dream EZE All In Ones in

Blackberry and Mandarin size small (6#-15#)

The inserts are sewn in...and there are 2!

I plan to use these at night....hence the name Dream EZE!

I ordered some of my stash from Punkernoodle but most of the stuff I ordered was OUT OF STOCK!

It took almost 3 weeks to get my stuff! The owner did send me a FREE Dream EZE thats why I have 2 in Blackberry! She has not updated her website or called me back!

I wanted to know if it was safe to order more things from her website!

So beware!

I got these HUGGABUNS one size pocket diapers at

Maine Cloth Diaper CO. for $5.50 each on sale (I bought 5)

Normal price was listed as $14.50.

The flannel in this diaper is very thin but priced at $5.00 it is a good deal!

I plan to stuff my pockets with unbleached Indian pre-folds I have had for years!

($24.00 per dozen.....I have 2 dozen!)

I also got 

1 White Bummis Original Whisper Wrap (small) $9.00

Sugar Peas organic wool snap in diaper (small) $6.00

(I want to get a red wool wrap for my Sugar Pea to snap into but it is $29.00)

 For now the spending is on hold but when I do get one I will get a Med!

Knickernappies 2G Pocket Diaper in Melon (small) $8.00

Bumkins one size Stuff it Cloth Diaper - Butterfly print $14.95

Happy Hieny's Hemp Stuffins (med.) $9.50

 It came with a smaller insert as well, but I thought I was going to get a pack of 6 but there was just 1!

I also got another ECONOBUM one size wrap from Thanks Mama but it did not come with a Indian per-fold and it cost me $8.95! So watch out! The BOGO is the best deal doing now!

I also bought some Imse Vimse Organic Wipes 12pk in Rose for $11.85

I'm still waiting on my order from Nicki's Diapers!

3 Bummis one size pocket diapers

4 Happy Heinys one size pocket diapers some with snaps some velcro

10pk flannel wipes!

Fun prints! I can't wait to share them with you when they get here!

I also have some other stuff from my past years of cloth diapering I will share at a later time!

What's in your stash?

Leave a link in my comments so myself and others can see your what you got!

Happy Diapering!

I have to wait 7 more months to try mine out!

Pregnancy update {9 weeks}

Doc says there is only one in there!

For 9 weeks I know I look huge but after 7 other pregnancies my body  just relaxes and goes to work!

My last 3 babies were all over 10# so my belly is a bit stretched.

I had my first ultrasound at 7 weeks all looked great!

I have been taking 200mg of progesterone once a day @ bedtime.

I get my progesterone levels checked every 2 weeks.

The first check I was at zone 3 (3 or 4 is best)

For the second check a few weeks later they had me NOT take my progesterone the night before the test.

I dropped to a zone 2 after missing just one dose!

I go in Monday for another blood test. My veins are sore after all the pokes over the past few months!

For my last blood test the gal took the blood from upper arm in stead of in my bend.

It did not even hurt. I hate when the hit my scar tissue! OUCH!

Other vitamins I take.........

Pre-natals

Folic Acid

DHA

Vitamin C,D,B6,B12

Calcium,Zinc,Magnesium

And as of late.......

I have been taking Cranberry pills

and Acidophilus pills

I got a bladder infection last week and I'm in my final days of antibiotics!

I have only gained 4# so far.

My next pre-natal visit is Nov. 29th.

My nausea has been really bad this pregnancy, it last most of the day, but I'm not complaining!

Sometimes I feel hungry and full at the same time?!

I will crave a food, but only once.....I feel nauseous after eating it and never want that food again!

At Costco last week I tryed a sample if herb stuffing and had to spit it out....and I almost barfed!

Some of my favorite snacks have been:

Hot canned green beans with a bit is butter

Pumpkin bagels with cream cheese

oh and 1/2 of the pregnancy sandwich (I gave it that name) it's made with:

Dave's Good Seed bread

cheddar cheese

ham and roast beef

Dijon mustard and mayo

And a generous pile of mixed greens!

On another note:

Tonight is our churches annual Turkey Bingo so I will taking the boys.

We have been going to this event for over 10yrs!

Tomorrow Jackie's school is having a BIG Thanksgiving feast for the first graders.

I have volunteered to help set up then eat with Jackie!

Are any of you going something fun for Thanksgiving?

Have a fun tradition you want to share?

I'd love to hear from you.

Peace and Love,

Georgiann

10 things I love about fall!

1. Sipping cider
2. Foggy mornings
3. The anticipation of Thanksgiving Day
4. The bright red leaves on the ground
5. Seeing the yard all winterized (shrubs all trimmed back etc..)
6. Seeing the little birds in the mornings looking for food!
7. The smell of my decaf coffee brewing and cinnamon raisin bread toasting in the toaster in the morning.
8. The smell of bread in the bread maker and hot soup in the crock pot!
9. The taste of all the pumpkin treats!
10. An afternoon walk and a chilly but sunny day!

What do you love about fall?

I'm also loving all the peppermint scented stuff that has been in stores. I guess most stores wait til November 1 to put Christmas stuff out.  Bath and Body Works has their Moisturizing Twisted Peppermint hand soap in stock now! It has been great at knocking back my nausea. I also love all their Christmas smelling candles!

{my little apple}

Well on Tuesday I went in for my first ultrasound to get my first peak at my Little Apple!With each pregnancy I give my baby a nickname....I think its fun!

Do any of you do the same????? What nicknames have you giving your little baby being knit???

Many of you have emailed me privately wanting to know how my OB visit went. I emailed a few of you back but here is the post I promised, sorry to keep you all waiting!

Hubby met me at the OB for the appointment Tuesday in the late afternoon.
We got to see the heartbeat (flutter with no sound) It was wonderful! Such a relief!
Baby was measuring a June 18 due date, not June 17. So I was one day off. I guess the swimmers took a day to get their target. (I think it will be a girl :)????) At 7 weeks its to early to tell the gender and we love surprises! There will be no peaking here! I get though drug free labor not knowing the gender the gift! I love finding out in the delivery room!

My OB and I discussed being induced.....I know its a bit early..... OK way early for that, but I told
Dr. E I did not want to deliver a BIG baby. The last 3 were all almost 11#. My Dr. E said, he will only induce no more than one week before my due date. He said, June 11 would be the earliest. That's Noah's b-day, my fourth born and he always get the short end of the stick. I don't want him to have to share a birthday. My oldest son graduates high school June 14 and my other kids have their last day of school. So if I do go in June 11 that only leaves 3 days to be ready to go to a graduation. My last baby, Olivia was induced 4 days early and was 10# 11oz.  I'm sure God know the plan, so for now I won't worry about it! I can't wait to see how it all works out!

Well I feel a nap coming on so I'm off for now!
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, it means a lot to me!

Peace and Love,
Georgiann

Getting Ready {before and afters}

So far my pregnancy is going well......and tomorrow at 7w 2d I will get a sneak peak of my tiny baby growing within. I am quite nervous....my mind says "what if my baby is not growing, what if there is no heart beat?" I told myself I was not going to do the whay if thing, but find myself  doing it!!!!!!  I hope that hubby can slip away from work to come to my first ultrasound! (Hubby works 2 blocks away)

Yesterday.........

I spend the day cleaning my room and moving the crib/toddler bed from the girls room into my room, as well as a dresser that will be for baby.  I have misplaced the side rail for the crib (I do have 7 months to find it). lol  For now Jackie will sleep in it as a toddler bed in our room and Olivia will sleep with us in our bed. (they were both with us for the past 4yrs) The California king is a bit crowded and with my belly growing.....we all needed another arrangement! The girls will be getting bunk beds for their room over Christmas.

Here are a few before and afters of the space in my room set up for baby. (I know its early to be setting stuff up for baby, but I have a busy schedule over the next few months and needed to clear out the girls room making room for bunk beds!)


                                                                       Before

This is the mess in my room on my side of the bed!

I have a clothes/book case!

Afters

Little Miss Jackie asleep in the toddler bed/crib!

I still need to vacuum and tidy a few more things...

I am trying to hang my clothes in my closet so the black bookcase can be for baby things!

The box next to the crib is trash. (like I said I still have some tidying to do)

In that spot I will get some plastic drawers to keep my cloth diapers.

(just ordered some in a small size...I can't wait till they get here)

Oh and I want to get a new throw rug for next to my bed!

Above the black book case will be a wooden shelf with hooks.

(I still need to paint it....not sure what color I will use)

The shelf will be for toys and the hooks for hanging baby's clothes!

Keep me in your prayer as I am a bit nervous about my ultrasound appointment tomorrow!

Peace and Love.
