Can I just say how much love seeing a midwife over my OB? Today was my second visit with her and she is wonderful!!! Don't get me wrong my doctor is great but she's very efficient during her visits. If anything ever goes wrong, which it won't this time, she is the one I want around to help. It has been so refreshing to actually talk to someone about what's going on with this baby. Since I've been having a few signs that this little guy could be coming early she decided to do an ultrasound today to make sure all is well. Everything looked GREAT!! His head is down, my fluid levels are good, and he's around 4 pounds already!!! I hope they have my due date wrong again and he comes a little early so he's not too huge, but not so early it would be bad. If I can make it to 36 weeks I will be happy because then I can deliver at the hospital I want.
In other baby related news I was able to sell all of my cloth diapers and ordered new ones!! It's so exciting. I have also successfully finished knitting a diaper soaker! I just need to make the i-cord and it will be done. Pictures will come. It has been an adventure trying to get it right and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. The next step will be dying it so it doesn't look so blah. Pictures will come.
My patience and searching on ebay payed off this week. I was able to get a deal on a black Baby Bjorn carrier with a beautiful red cover for less than I bought my used plaid ok Baby Bjorn for! Plaid is being returned this weekend. I'll have pictures of the new one soon-ish.
My latest research project has been on sergers. I really want to get one. I was cutting out old t-shirts to make some prefold diapers and wipes and realized how nice it would be to just serge them. Especially the wipes. There's a Singer model that I was shown today that looks nice, but I really don't know anything about this stuff. I'm hoping to run across some deal. This isn't anything I need, but it could save money by making stuff myself and some time too. Oh decisions, decisions.
One of these days we might find out something about the house we want to get too. Right after we put in our offer we found out that the family went bankrupt and the house is now in the banks hands. Now we have been waiting for the bank to give us the price on the house. I just hope that they give us a really good deal. We've been prying hard for a good price and I hope we hear what it will be soon so we can start the rest of the buying process. There is so much going on right now it's quite crazy. Thankfully Mr. Man has spring break next week so things won't be as crazy even though he'll be trying to get ahead on work before little man gets here.

Ooooo! I can't wait to see pictures of everything! What new diapers did you order? I bought my first Swaddlebees pocket this week. I'm excited to try it out. I haven't used pockets yet.
I saw that you sold your Kissaluvs on BCB Bargain Basement. I tried to sell a bunch of prefolds and covers on Diaper Swappers but no bites. I put them all in the Bargain Basement and sold them all to one person in ONE DAY. I was stoked.
I have a White Speedylock 1600 serger from JoAnn's. It's okay. It behaves most of the time. Whatever you choose be sure it has differential feed.
If I ever have more children I may consider a nurse midwife. The one at my doctor's practice was wonderful and I fell in love with her after meeting her only once. There really is a difference, I agree.
Pictures! Pictures! Can't wait for pictures!
I have a Singer serger and it works great. They are touchy machines no matter what brand it is. So be prepared for a lot of frustration and re-threading.
