Ok, so its been awhile since I've written. I havent really felt the need to write so I haven't. Since I have a feeling that this blog will become public (to people I know) soon, I will not talk about some things that could potentially upset these people, so I don't write the days I fell the need to vent about them ;) JK.
Mostly i have just been busy at work, or tired at home, but since I have decided on a few things recently I thought I should write them down. So I have decided to pay out of pocket to find out gender a few weeks early, which Justin thinks is silly, but since I'm paying he wont argue, lol. Also as soon as I know this ultrasound appt, I will be scheduling the gender reveal party (hopefully the weekend my bff Bekah is in town, since its not fair to reveal when she can't be there, she is Godmother after all) Due to Bekah being in town the first weekend of may, we are shooting for that Saturday, though we may do it Friday afternoon., who knows really. I need to go shopping with my other bff Trian to get supplies for the party. I'm thinking minimal decorations but there will be 2 sides to the room, so I need the It's a Boy sign and blue streamers for one side, and It's a girl and pink streamser on the other side. That way when everyone picks a tea, they can sit on that side of the room. I also need to get some gender myth papers typed up and printed out (and buy a box of pencils) so everyone can keep track of the tally. Then i need to get the box that will hold the reveal balloons wrapped (I may need to find paper for this as well) I think I will also add in this thing that helps avoid gender disappointment I read about (its for my friends not me, lol) and I will make my own list of the good thing about having each gender, and may have a section in the party where I ask everyone else to do the same, then we will read these right before we reveal gender (it will help to get people really confused on what they really want, so they can be excited regarless of the balloon color) I think it will also help me to feel happy regardless of gender because i have become quite torn on what I want.
Ok, so past this, I have decided beyond a doubt that I want to use gdiapers ont he new baby, they are amazing. I found 2 of these in a local baby store with a pack of disposable inserts adn it is amazing, it works so much better than the other cloth diapers I'd been using on Sam. So I went through and did my baby regestry today and made sure to add all of the gdiaper things I will need for baby (in all sizes) I also thought about how a lot of peopel may not want to purchase these as they can be expensive (and I just didnt add clothes and other things people can buy to the list) and was a bit worried they would simply buy me a pack of disposable diapers, so I think in the baby shower invites I will add the regestry info, a note that we have chosen to cloth diaper this baby and then a link to the gdiaper website page that has videos on how easy gdiapers are and why they are better than disposables, including a video that documents the decomp of gdiaper disposable insert vs tradtional disposable diaper (that video only lasts like a min 1/2) So hopefully peopkle will look and understand why its worth it. plus I wont be spending 120 a month on disposable diapers, ugg. and if they help us purchase the gdiapers it will make the whole diapering experience more affordable all the way around.
So I think today is the day that I will add my blog to one of my groups on babycenter. that way I can at least share it with someone, since i know no one has read it so far.
