Cloth Diapering: The Addiction

I like lists. I make TONS of lists, fully intending on following them and having everything organized.
Then, I edit my list. Numerous times... so many times, in fact, that I end up just making a new list.

Case in Point: My CD list.
I think the strongest argument against CDing would be how easy it is to get addicted to. If I'm this bad having a boy, what would I do with a girl to put in all the frilly diapers? Somehow, my very reasonable list of a limited number of 6ish Adam-friendly BumGenius X-Smalls (AIO) + 6 kissaluvs (fitteds) + 2 doz prefolds + 6 thirstie covers has exploded to 23 Adam-friendly BGxs + 12 kissaluvs + 0 prefolds + 2 Thirsties AIOs + 5 duo wraps sz 1 + 1 zookies cover + 2 woolies that I crocheted myself + 1 suprise comic book AI2 for Corbin's nb photos.
Before prefolds, that's 40 diapers... oops. Now I'm debating on even getting the prefolds. I figure the covers are good, as they're duo wraps and will last a while. But the rest are all nb size.

No more nb diapers... no more nb diapers....

Procrastination is my middle name

So, a few posts ago I posted a list of things we still needed to do... Erm... I don't think I've crossed off nearly as much as I should have between now and then.

Hello 3rd Tri!

I can't believe we're finally at the 3rd trimester. It feels like just yesterday I was feeling like I just was meant to never get pregnant, and then being shocked that the first (successful) Clomid cycle worked. I can't wait to meet our little boy, and if time continues on the way it has been the past 28ish weeks, then he'll be here before I know it!




How far along are you?: 27w5d



What I'm looking forward to this week? We have our first shower on Saturday :)


How big is baby?: I know he's 2+ lbs, but other than that, I have no idea. I really want a 3d ultrasound
Weight gain/loss?: I don't weigh my self on my own. I know as of last appointment I had gained 6 lbs total (3 lbs over my pre pregnancy weight) 

Maternity clothes?: Yup. There are a few shirts I can wear, but most are too short.
Sleep?: Sleep is so-so. I have good nights and then nights I'm up and down to the bathroom and tossing and turning to get comfy.  

Best moment this week?: Finally being in the 3rd tri!
Food cravings?: Apple Pie. Yum.
Gender?: Still a boy I hope lol
Movement?: All the time. I finally felt hiccups the other day and I feel him stretching and pushing on me from the inside. 

Belly button?: Still in, but more shallow 

Labor signs?: None, the extra water has helped.

What do I miss?: Being able to bend over easily.
