new addition






Here is our new addition. A little girl. We are thinking of naming her Alice.

Went to the doctor today. Everything is going great so far. The doctor said that she was happy that I finally gained 4 pounds in a month. I couldn't believe it. I have been so scared that I would gain 60 like I did with Virginia. She also said that I might only gain 25 pounds. My goal is 35, but hey, 25 I will take!
We get to find out what we are having in two weeks! I am anxiously awaiting the 13 days to come.

cloth

I have started to go back to cloth diapers. Virginia doesn't like it too much right now. They definitely feel different to her.
I was just tired of feeling sick every time we filled a trash bag full of dirty diapers. Plus, she needs to start potty training and I figured cloth will make it a bit easier for her. We will see.

My goal with the new baby is to do cloth 95% of the time. The downside to this is that it is so expensive to start out. I didn't start V in cloth until she was about 9 months old.

John has been able to feel the baby kicking. It is amazing to me that he and I can feel it so soon. With V it was 20 weeks to the day when I started feeling her kick and not for another month until John could. I started feeling this one at about 15 weeks and John at about 17. Weird!

So far the weight gain has been good. I gained 60 pounds with V and my goal for this one is 35. I think it is doable, it is just going to be hard work. So far I have only gained 11 pounds and I am at 18 weeks. I don't think that is too bad, considering.
