Yippee Skippee!

I am so excited!!! It's been a very busy three days since I found out, but my sister in law Bridget IS HAVING A GIRL!!! I finally get to buy some pink. Between Gavin and Shim, it's been nothing but blue for quite a while now. I found a onesie I have to get: it's pink and says "Nobody puts baby in the corner". So adorable! I feel bad for my SIL Lindsay, because she is due two weeks before Bridget, and still doesn't know what her little one is. A crappy and mean ultrasound tech combined with a shy baby didn't bode well. She has another one in two weeks, so I'm crossing all crossables that we'll find out then!

So, Bridget and my brother went for a regular checkup on Thursday, and were supposed to schedule their big anatomy scan then. Well, they scheduled it alright, but also asked to see if there was ANY way they'd also do one that same day. The out of pocket cost was really cheap compared to most OB's offices, and the US tech worked them in. SO many things fell into place, it was just perfect. The tech said she'd been doing this a long time, and was 90-95% sure it was a girl. The big anatomy scan in two weeks will tell for sure.

I have done MAJOR organization in the nursery tonight. The cloth diaper stash is almost ready; I have my bins and baskets all divided for prefolds, covers, and all in ones. I cannot wait to get my changing pad and start making my cleaning solution. I have to decide on a recipe first though. If some or all of what I'm talking about seems foreign, don't worry. I promise to do a nice long blog on cloth diapers sometime soon. No one I know uses them or is familiar with them, except my SIL Lindsay. She is cloth diapering as well, and even making alot of her own. My mom got a new sewing machine, and gave Lindsay her old serger. Bridget and I certainly wouldn't have used it, so I'm glad she gave it to someone who will actually appreciate it.

Shim is well, and moving all the time. He kicked really hard this morning before we got out of bed, and Eric was like "Whoa!". You'd think it would hurt, but it doesn't . I love feeling him move around in there, but I do wonder what he's up to. Cartwheels apparently. I have a ton of Braxton Hicks (AKA toning contractions) these days. I hope it's not an indication that Shim will make an early appearance. At least if he comes now, he'll be just fine. A little NICU stay, but nothing too crazy. It feels really good to be 29 weeks. Well, I'm off for a bedtime snack, and some sleep!
