25 weeks!

I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and certainly growing each week :)

There's some swelling in my feet at the end of my long shifts and LOTS of back pain... But I found a back support from Motherhood Maternity!  It works wonders!! 

I'm feeling Lucy love more and more, and some mornings I see her move in my belly :) It's amazing!  Tim and I can't wait for him to be able to feel it!

We have set up pieces of our nursery and I love being in there :)  We have her crib up, and the closet is mostly ready for her things (and already packed with some goodies!).

Our cloth diaper stash is complete!  

The picture  below is of my last purchase. these are "all-in-one" cloth diapers from Bum Genius called Freetimes.  They have inserts sewn in so I'm hoping for ease of use by Tim and myself. We purchased 37 of them on MANY sales (since Tim's brother and sister-in-law told us they have 50+... I purchased a couple more than I thought I would).   

We also bought 3 "pocket" diapers for night time to add more absorbency.   24 Cloth wipes and  2 wet bags should be coming SOON from Nickie's Diapers... Yeow! 

We will start with disposables on Lucy as a newborn and see when she will fit into the cloth diapers.  I hope before I'm off maternity leave :) 

Looking forward to her coming, but there's lots to mentally and spacially prep for still :)

  Thank you, Lord, for this most amazing gift!

A New Addition

After what feels like forever, we are proud to announce that soon we will add a SWEET LITTLE BABY to our family!

Due March 2014!

We are OVER THE MOON excited!  It's been fun to tell family and friends :) 

I'm feeling like the baby will be a b-o-y.  (My mom and mother-in-law agree).

My sister and Tim have a slight inkling it's a girl (or I think they just really want a girl).  My Dad said "girl" just to appease Tim :) Anyway, can you tell we are having fun  guessing the gender?

I've been more and more nauseated the last 2 weeks- a good sign, right? It makes meal planning a moment by moment affair.  My mom has been making me wonderful bland(ish) soups and she makes Tim meaty dinners so I won't have to cook anything.  Thank goodness!  

The sound of a toilet flushing is guaranteed to make me lose my lunch.  This baby certainly has preferences ;)

So there you have it! The first Blodgett grandchild and the 13th Kurkinen grandchild :) 

Let the adventures begin!
