I feel the need.....

to get ready for this baby. Mind you I am fully aware that I have 24 weeks till this baby will even think about making an appearance... I also don't want to go overboard this is my third and I am fully aware that i do not need wipe warmers, frilly dresses, and every bounce/swing/baby toy out there... tummy time mats can be blankets they all get spit up on the same its how they clean up that counts. So here are a few things I've decided to do to save money/junk from taking over my house.

  • We are going to use the crib in our room... i never used my pack and play for either girl for anything other that storage. The bassinet was a good idea till it became apparent a rocking sleep area is horrible with wild siblings and a husband who enjoys co sleeping.
  • No bath tub- didn't work not happening takes up too much room.
  • Using Millies travel system, carrier, towels etc (good thing everything is neutral)
  • Really that's it Crib/ car seat/ stroller/and the basics
SO here are something I have been looking at gdiapers combination cloth/disposable diapers that are biodegradable. I used them on millie for a while and loved them so gonna give them a try with this baby. they will not end up being more cost effective about the same unless i choose to primarily use cloth inserts but I can compost the disposable ones and save some thousands diapers from going to the landfill and I already have a compost heap!! (not the poopy ones they go in the trash not compostable) But still!!!!!

Now to stop the overpowering urge to put the crib together next to my bed today.....

I know part of this is because I am have to schedule my 20 week ultrasound soon and its stressful because we don't find out the sex and everybody ask about it.... (like the instant gratification wouldn't be nice but I really like to wait... its just getting past THAT appointment.)
