Only 5 more weeks til my due date. That is very exciting and a little scary as well. Time has seemed to pass very quickly during pregnancy and I know it will go even quicker once we have a baby! I think we have mainly all that we need, besides a few small things, and the only big thing we need are the good cloth diapers which are quite expensive. I think we'll go with disposables for the first month or two, then invest in some high quality reusable diapers. I am so thankful for so many people who have given me things for the baby! And my church is giving me a shower next weekend and I am very excited for that as well. It is easy to worry about all that we will need, all the decisions we need to make, and all the changes that will happen in our life once we have a baby. But at this moment I feel at peace about it all and I am grateful for that. We even found a birthing ball at a yard sale today. We did not have a productive morning of yard saling this morning as far as finding things to resell, but we did get a birthing ball and Kyle was very excited that he found tomato cages for his tomato plants. Apparently they are $6 each at the store, which isn't much, but he needs about 10 so that's about $60 that he didn't want to spend. I didn't think he'd find some at a yard sale- but he did. He found about 10 for $1. Not too bad. :) And a friend let us borrow her birthing ball, but our cat decided it made a good scratching post so it has been gradually deflating... but thankfully we found this one today. Now I haven't told my friend yet about the fate of hers... guess I need to do that soon. And maybe she will take this one as replacement for her old one after the birth. Well, this has been a random post, but let me include a recent photo of myself. I know that I do not look like I am due to have a baby in 5 weeks. Everyone tells me that. I guess it should be a compliment but I am tired of hearing it. I am tall, okay?
