Check-Up

By -
We saw Anjili this morning for our check-up.  Overall, baby and I are doing fine.  My blood pressure is still good, I am measuring right on track, and Sarah Graves' heartbeat sounded beautiful.  I am dilated 1 cm., but her head is still very high, which means we have a ways to go before they expect me to be in labor.  Her guess is that we won't be having a baby this week. 
I started with a cold on Friday, so she suggested Robitussin for the cough and taking several packets of Emergen C each day to help me get over it quick.  Between the cold and the Braxton Hicks, I haven't been sleeping well at night.  She suggested I try this calcium and magnesium supplement called Momma Calms (sp ?) that you can get at Whole Foods.  I guess it helps to calm the Braxton Hicks as well as having a multitude of other positive effects and uses. She feels like me getting good sleep is most important right now, so hopefully these will help that.

It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
