this and that...

what I've been doing:
  • watching a lot of this
  • and a lot of this
  • and even some of this (though they suck in the worst way possible...a team chock full of talent that hasn't been able to sustain a concerted effort to WIN)
  • wondering if it would be just too weird/irresponsible for me to go to a concert 8 days before my due date :p (Carlos says yes)
  • playing a lot of "guess the baby part" every night after the boys go to bed when the little miss wakes up and stretches her limbs
  • knitting for baby girl (I'll try to share some photos soon)
  • thinking about giving these a shot (totally cute and I think not as labor intensive as full on cloth diapering?)
  • trying to decide what type of sling to get...I definitely want one that I can use from birth - right now, I'm leaning towards either a hotsling or a gurumama or a sprout pounch or a gosling - would love to hear your opinions!
  • this which has taken up the majority of my time
  • this layout done recently for 2Peas...just wanted to share it as I haven't shared a belly pic in quite awhile (this was 29 weeks...I'm *almost* 32 now)

what I've been admiring/coveting:
  • this boys' bedroom that I just think is way too cool (someday, I'll get the boys' bedroom decorated!) from Desire to Inspire
  • these chopping boards and napkin rings (yeah, like I EVER use napkin rings, right?) from the MOMA Store from hwtm
  • this bedspread (which has sold) that would have been so nice in the nursery for cuddling with the girl while I nurse her
  • adorable shoes but I know I can't justify $34 for baby shoes that won't even get a scuffed sole :p
  • lots of this yarn to knit many beautiful little baby girl sweaters

and this put such a huge smile on my face yesterday...brought tears to my eyes seeing the reaction to the decision. What an incredible victory, FINALLY. I hope this is only the beginning of more moves like it across the country. Everyone deserves the happiness that California afforded it's gay and lesbian community yesterday.

Trying to prepare myself for two whole days of alone time while Carlos takes the boys camping for a couple of days next week...want to make sure I have all of my nesting and cleaning projects planned ahead of time so I can get all of my shopping done this weekend! Maybe I'll finally put a dent in that nursery!

Have a great weekend :)

    Love the belly layout!

    I've had four different slings and pouches. The Over The Shoulder Baby Holder (yeah, I bought that one just for the name), a Maya Wrap, a pouch by Sweet Fletcher, and a sling from Rockin' Baby. And I much prefer the Rockin' Baby and Maya Wrap adjustable slings than the non-adjustable pouches. The extra fabric in the adjustable slings is good for covering up when nursing, and the "tail" has pockets on each side for keys, phone, whatever. But now that Nadia's older, I like my Sweet Fletcher pouch, too.

    If you can, get one of each. Trust me, they won't go unused.

  3. Holy links! No wonder you only post once in awhile :)
    Love the layout, and I have been looking at your digi stuff on 2ps. All so cute!
    I think you need to watch a bunch of girly movies this weekend to offset all the sports.
    That yarn is yummy.

  8. love your 2peas LO! such a cute mama! I have been following along with the baby book progress too and almost, almost wishing I had a new baby to play along :) (or enough recall from the ones I've had but sadly those specific memories are pretty faded.) Enjoy your alone time! xo, t

    i say GO TO THE CONCERT. I skipped a Lyle Lovett date 9 days before Riely was due. The due date came and went...and she took a whole 'nother 10 days to make an appearance. I was a little bitter :)

  17. super cute belly pic :)
    I loved the gdiapers for a while but then got burnt out when I realized how much the inserts would cost especially since no one carried them locally. we are all cloth all the time now and I LOVE it!
    Oh, and I used a Hotsling...loved it too!
