I was hoping to have pictures from the Relay for Life event on Friday night. Unfortunately, just after I finished walking my designated hour on the track the storms moved in and everything got moved frantically indoors(not quite the same atmosphere). The event was great. It was my first time participating in one and is quite a spectacle for those who have never been. I was able to raise over $845 in contributions, $25 in Luminaries and $40 in additional raffle tickets. We placed 3rd overall as a team and the event raised over $23,000. I am ready for next year! Thank you to everyone who contributed!
Below are several pictures from our garden. In addition to our regular tomatoes and peppers, we planted yellow squash and zucchini. We also have basil and rosemary.
After some recent shopping on ebay I decided to go ahead and order a couple of the diapers we are going to use. I was able to get a great a deal on them, hence why I ended up ordering them. The cloth diapering system we plan on using is called gdiapers (
gdiapers.com). The system has both a cloth and disposable insert, so you can pick which would be best based on your activities. We received the order on Friday and I could not get over how cute and small they are, so I had to share!
More bargain shopping on ebay lead to another great purchase! We bought a Phil & Ted Stroller (
philandteds.com). I had done a lot of research on this purchase before deciding on this stroller. The other type of stroller we were thinking about was a BOB. This stroller is amazingly versatile, it has a number of different sitting arrangements and will work with our car seat. The stroller collapses for travel and can handle two kids without having to push a double wide! I put the second child attachment on for the last picture (in just one of the many ways it can be used). The poor bear is getting a workout-modeling for the baby...
The bump at 22 weeks and 3 days....
This is our first zucchini. Charlie waited to pick it while I was gone back to KS. So the night we got home we got a flash light out and went out to the garden to harvest it. It is on the big side so I will probably be using it for some zucchini cakes or bread!
Yellow squash yet to be harvested.
The dresser in progress....the drawers are in the works now!
Charlie has been hard at work on the dresser, here is his progress.
We received several wonderful gifts this week. My friend Micaela and her Husband Eric(from Omaha) sent us the baby bouncer. It is so soft and I am sure will be a favorite lounge place for baby.
The baby is definitely more active everyday, and the movements have become much more noticeable. Moxy is finding the space on my lap is getting smaller and smaller everyday!
We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. Everything looked great and the baby was very active-opening and closing it's mouth and doing fake breathing movements! If you double click the picture it will make it larger.
