It has been awhile

Is anyone even reading this? I am sure not but just in case here it goes.
Over the past several weeks I have gotten even more pregnant. I am now to the 6 weeks left and boy am I ready. I have done a lot of soul searching through this pregnancy and found out that I can be a stay at home mom and do things fun and cheap. I have decided to use cloth diapers. I know this isn't really "fun" but to me it is going to be a new experience so it is fun.If you are wanting to use cloth diapers I ordered fuzzibunz. I am also going to use washable wipes. They are just washcloths and water. No big deal right? WRONG! I am trying to save us money which our total investment will be right at $200.00 for diapers all together. SCORE! Store bought diapers run about $400.00 a month...BIG difference if you ask me.
I have also been going to LLL meetings. They have helped me tons with breastfeeding tips. I really hope it works this time. I have also decided to go with no meds this times around. I know call me crazy but have women never done this? I mean really God created our body to be able to do this.


I have been reading most of these throughout this pregnancy just to prepare myself.


Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead!

I have also been doing research on keeping the girls home and teaching them. This far I am still researching:)
We have been doing really crafty things at home. Recently we made a bird house, a stepping stone and just today we made soap balls. They are all so easy to make the kids love it. We have painting a rock, making our own water colors and a few other things on the list to do before Michael gets here.

I am going to try to blog more if time allows. I am by no means a great writer but it does help calm me down.
