On the Edge of Week 16

There was a point in this pregnancy when the weeks couldn't fly by fast enough. When every piece of information you get tells you that you cannot be confident and comfortable in your pregnancy until you reach a magic number, you are very eager to enter the Second Trimester. I am thankful every day for each day my pregnancy continues without a hitch.

Now I am in awe of how quickly time is speeding by, and I have realized how quickly time goes by in general. I mentioned to Henry the other night, that the infant stage of our baby is not going to last long and I hope we can be present enough to enjoy it (or at least stay awake :)

My belly is growing and I am overjoyed! Henry said the most beautiful thing to me yesterday, I was walking to the kitchen to put some dishes away and he said, "You know you don't look pregnant from the back." Sometimes he knows exactly the right thing to say :) Whether it's true or not, it was incredibly sweet. And honestly, I am fully aware that I have more weight to gain, and if that means my baby is healthy, bring it on. (I'm sure I'll regret that one in a year!) But my little bump is wonderful, I cannot wait to start feeling the little movements.....oh gosh...I could cry thinking about it! But right now I could cry about anything. I looked at Zeppelin who was sleeping so perfectly last night and welled up lol

For my mom the fruit comparison this week is.................an Avacado!

And finally (can you tell I'm avoiding work a little :S) we are looking into Cloth Diapering pretty seriously. I've gotten some amazing advice from friends and I think I am getting a handle on the idea. This weekend I was trying to do some research and was totally overwhelmed by the options. But after chatting in the Nursery I got some great advice and a great lead on a brand that I think I'm really interested in trying out. So I will keep you updated on how this one goes :) Personally, I think it's worth it to avoid dumping a mountain of non biodegradable garbage in the dumps. I rather enjoy nature and would love it if our babes was able to enjoy it outside of books.
