I had a doctors appointment last friday for my 38 weeks. I wasn't dilated at all but everything looked really good. My BP was really low and baby's heartrate was around 142! Healthy strong heartbeat for my little one.
As most of you know, Wes and I have decided to cloth diaper our little munchkin and I am making the diapers, (I'll post pictures after birth, since they are *sorta* gender specific). But these diapers won't fit the baby until 13-15 pounds or so. Our plan was to use disposables until that time. HOWEVER, after looking at the prices of newborn disposables again, and looking at what basic pre-fold diapers cost, we decided to cloth diaper in the newborn stage too! We will be using basic pre-folds, just like they used back in early cloth dipaering days, but these days you can get these awesome things called "Snappis" that have covered hooks, instead of using pins or velcro! They are really cool and a great way to make cloth diapering easier. PLUS - we have lots of waterproof diaper covers coming, some friend a friend, and some from some mothers who make them from home (just like me). I'd be making these myself, but not knowing when the baby is going to come, I decided it would be better for my peace of mind and time contraints if I just ordered them. Overall, cloth diapering has proven to be a much cheaper way already to diaper our little one! We are both so excited to start (although we know there is a good chance the baby could be too small immediately after birth to cloth diaper, which is why we have disposables on hand. :-) )
Anyway- onto the real reason why you're here!!
Here I am at 38 weeks (1 week ago). Not much change since then so I really don't have any pictures to upload from today. :-) Enjoy!!
