Tomorrow's the big ultrasound and I'm super excited. Hopefully the baby won't be shy.
We went ahead and bought our crib. Normally it would still be kind of early for that, but since we'll be leaving and my husband won't be here when I get back with the baby I wanted to get it now. We haven't put it together yet, that'll be done this weekend.
Recently I've become obsessed with slings/carriers. I joined babywearer and did a lot of my own research and decided that I want both a mei tai and a ring sling.
I've also become interested in cloth diapering instead of using disposable diapers. I tried to join clothdiapering but was denied because this is a pregnancy journal. Even though I have another journal I consider this my main journal, it's the only one I really post in or am active on. I created this journal because I wanted a journal where I was free to talk about TTC and pregnancy without people I know in real life reading my business and spreading it everywhere. But I'm going to keep this journal well past my pregnancy and it will focus on parenting, which is really a major thing in my life. So this is really a main journal, but all I'll really post about is pregnancy and parenting because that's all I'm really inspired to post about... which is probably why my other journal is inactive and always will be despite rare occasions. I contacted one of the maintainers to try to explain this and I thought the dialogue was going well. She said she wanted to make sure I was trustworthy because of all the transactions that happen there and asked if I had feedback anywhere, so I directed her my ebay feedback (which is all positive) but I haven't heard anything back for several days so I guess I'm not getting in. I'm actually really sad about this because I think that community would be a great source of information. I've done some reading on my own, but I've had no experience with diapering at all and the only person who I know that has had experience with cloth diapering is my mother (and that was in the 70's) who keeps telling me that I have no idea what I'm getting into and I will hate it. That's really discouraging to hear and I think I'd be more confident if I could learn from the experiences of other, because my mom is right - as a first time mother who has only even witnessed others using disposable diapers, I really don't know what I'd be getting into. So I really hope I do get in, maybe the maintainer is just busy. Or maybe I'd be let in if I changed the title of my journal.
I'm thinking of getting into sewing. I especially think it would be fun to make my own carriers and diapers/diaper covers. And I've been wanting to learn how to sew for a long time, and now I have a good reason.
