Half way there.....19 weeks

I know I am not technically half way there but 19 weeks is close enough for me!! I am so excited about this week because we FINALLY get to have our big anatomy scan. When I went for my 16 week appointment the Dr. told me they would schedule it for 18 weeks. Unfortunately my file floated around the nurses station for 3 weeks while I waited not so patiently to find out when we were going. I had been calling for the past two weeks trying to find out why it hadn't been scheduled and no one could tell me. Finally yesterday I spoke to a very nice lady at the office who explained what happened and scheduled it right then. So we are going this Thursday and I am so excited and praying that they see a healthy happy Sully. I swear I felt him last night, it almost felt like somebody thumbing the inside of my stomach about 5 times. I am going to continue thinking it was Sully and not just some random feeling. One of the reasons I am so excited to see Sully Friday is because I have been having very bad dreams and feeling that something is wrong with him. I know these are completely irrational thoughts because I have had no symptom or sign that anything is wrong, but it still scares me every time I go to the doctor. Every day I pray that he is growing to be a healthy, strong and happy baby. I love him so much already and it amazes me daily that God has given us such a beautiful gift.

As for the past week it has been pretty good and the weekend was even better. Friday started out with a surprise visit from Dave & Allison who decided to come down a day early for the game and stay with us. They are great friends that we rarely get to see since they moved. It was so good to see them! That is one of the reasons we love football season because we get to spend time with so many great people who have moved over the years. As for Saturday we went down to Ms. Wanda's to watch the game along with all the usual suspects. As for Sunday it was church and then lunch with the neighbors. It turned out to be a pretty relaxing weekend. I am already looking forward to the weekend because Josh's sister and her family are coming up for the game. Well I hope everyone has a great week and I will post some new shots of the little man when we get them on Thursday! By the way....I finally took a picture of my belly which is finally looking like a bump and not like I ate to many cheeseburgers!!

Not your typical cloth diaper....

As some of you may know Josh and I have decided to go all out in an effort to save money and the environment by using reusable diapers. I know some of you may think we are crazy but after checking out a blog on LG's blog roll we were hooked. The blogger created a whole series following his wife's pregnancy which is very cool! You can go to his blog, Pacing The Panic Room, to see what he has created. I actually started following long before I was pregnant and love his photos! Which brings me to the point of this post, FuzziBunz. During the maternity series he discussed these cute little diapers and how his wife had used them before and loved them. The ease of use and cute patterns available completely convinced me that these were the way to go. Plus, the fact that they actually last amazed me! Which means they can be used if we ever have another child. Now he has started a contest with the owner of the company to give away a set of FuzziBunz for a new family. I am really hoping we win because how cool would that be!! I know some of you reading this are expecting and I think you should really check out their site to make your decision. I was reading online last week that the average family spends over $3000 a year on disposable diapers, that is crazy! I would much rather spend that money on something more productive that won't be thrown in the trash after a few hours. I have created a link to the side and one above for anyone interested in checking FuzziBunz out. below is my favorite game day FuzziBunz......Hope everyone has a great day!
