Pregnancy Update

I can't believe how fast the time is going!  The second trimester is rolling right along and Chubby is rocking and rolling the whole time.  I really feel pretty good.  He does seem to kick the most when I'm hungry, but the kicks are still pretty gentle. 
Chubby seems to have a preference for spicy food, particularly Mexican food with lots of cheese!  Fortunately, I don't have heartburn. 
I am so thankful that I seem to be sleeping well.  I had such terrible insomnia with Sarah Graves, but this time I don't seem to have that issue.  I'm not sure I could make it if I were only getting a few hours sleep each night.  Then again, I was able to get a lot done in preparation for Sarah Graves because I was up so much!
The other night I asked Sarah Graves to give Chubby in my tummy a kiss and she looked at me kind of funny and thought a minute, then she took off.  She ran to her room and grabbed a stuffed animal and had the stuffed giraffe give Chubby a kiss!  I guess she thought it would be weird to give my belly a kiss!

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too!

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
