1. Mary-Grace was supposed to have her 2 month check up this morning (she was 2 months old last Saturday the 21st). Well, apparently I pushed my brains out when I pushed her out because I totally thought today was Tuesday not Thursday. Oops! Fortunately the ladies at her pedi's office are super sweet and rescheduled her for next Wednesday. Two month post will come then.
2. We are full time cloth diapering now and I love it! LOVE IT!!! I have a combo of different types. I was fortunate to have a sister who cloth diapered her 2nd baby and already has all her diapers to diaper her baby girl due in July. She let me borrow several different types so I could decide what I liked. :) I settled on covers with prefolds and a few fitteds as well as Gro.via AI2's. I've got a decent stash but am thinking about getting a few fleece covers for the summer because they are more breathable. We're even using cloth wipes. It's so much fun! Not to mention her butt looks so cute. :)
3. I cannot find a dress for MG's baptism anywhere. It has to be modest and it needs to be something I can nurse in. I have also looked for skirts but haven't had much luck unless I want to spend her college tuition on it. I've got a week. Grrr!
4. I taught myself how to sew!!!! I made MG a onesie dress as well as two for my niece (the one due in July). They are so cute! I'll post pics when I get a chance. :)
5. Hey! Maybe I'll make myself a skirt for her baptism? ;)
6. My migraines have come back with a vengeance since MG was born. It sucks! That's all there is to it.
7. I'm still working on my post reflecting on MG's birth. The lack of a brain (see #1) is making it hard to have my thoughts make since. I also cry every time I sit down to work on it. Happy tears of course. Is it crazy that I have baby fever already? Because I do. And thinking about her birth makes me want to do it all over again even more.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! K has Monday and Tuesday off so I'm looking to a 4 day weekend with him. Yay!!!

Long overdue final update (such a good one)!

I found my skirt at target...Do you want me to send it to you? I'm not sure what size but you can totally borrow it. :) hahahaha I won't need it back for a VERY long time. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ONESIE DRESSES! Hannah lives in the ruffle but onesie I made her.
I'm sorry about those headaches....I can mail you a quick fix remedy. ;)
Sorry about the headaches, but so glad you are having fun dressing and diapering your little one.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought - she can't find a modest baptism dress for MG? And then I realized - it's for you! Hahaha - talk about brainless! Okay, like Sew I found good stuff at target, they have great dresses and skirts at good prices. AND my mom used to sew rompers for me and I adore them. She put rick-rack on the edges and everything. When I look at my baby photos and all the darling clothes she made me...well...it's just so darn sweet. She even made my first communion dress.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Dayna. I had the same thing pop into my head when I first read it.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
Have you tried looking at Goodwill for skirts. I have to admit it is hit and miss there but I am a bit on the larger side (between a 14 and a 16) and have found some really great skirts. For a modest nursing top you might think about using a modesty panel. Something like this (http://www.chemisettesbyanne.com/). You could probably make one in whatever color to match your dress. Just some suggestions . :) I know it's hard to find modest clothes when you need access to your breast for feeding. If you really want to go modest you might try a nice bolero sweater to cover your shoulders. Don't know how modest (or warm in my case) you want to be.
I LOVE THE THRIFT STORE!!! :) Ahhh I love that place!!!! It's a thrill for me! ;)
ReplyDeleteSew I love Thrift stores too. I find I do better shopping there than I do at retail stores. (Probably because real women have wore them and not just what a designer thinks women wear.)
ReplyDeleteOh I know!! They are already washed and shrinked and fit perfectly! Plus I'm a slob and things get stained all the time and I have no problem getting rid of things cause I didn't spend an arm and a leg! Oh and no one would ever know i shop at the thrift store! Gosh I have found some great things I would never pay full price for too!!! It's so much fun!!! And my maternity wardrobe is getting out of hand because I'm always finding great stuff!
ReplyDeletehopefully blogger will let me comment this way-being quiet this long has been impossibly difficult! My dress for graduation was from ann taylor and it had a nice criss cross front with lots of rouching (sp?) to cover my belly. unfort they didn't put it in the back! I say a button up blouse and a skirt. wheelbarrow rider
