new pics

hey guys!! sorry it's been a while. :( Maddie and I are doing great. a few aches and pains, but nothing major. :) My next dr's appt is on the 14th of October and we will have our 45 minute diagnostic ultrasound then, to make sure she's growing well. :)

well, onto the pics..

I made this hat for maddie about a week ago using a circular knifty knitter. it's pretty cool and goes pretty fast. :) chris was so cute when I showed it to him, he said, It's so tiny! and I said, well, maddie's gonna be pretty tiny.. ;)

and here's the bouncer that I got from a yard sale for $3. I'll have to wash the cover of course, but man, I couldn't pass up that deal!! the same exact make & model goes for $25 at walmart! :)

and here's a few belly pics. one yesterday and one from tonight. :)

btw, I'm wearing leggings in this pic...

well, catch ya later! Love you!!!

Am I a hippie?

So due to the down time I have at work and a fascination with all things internet I've been doing ALOT of research on baby stuff. Which isn't a bad thing, but I'm finding all sorts of things that I never really thought about or knew existed.

I'm planning on wearing Maddie in a sling. I've heard it's very beneficial for mom and for baby. I'm planning on breast feeding, I'm planning on cloth diapering. And now I've been reading up on elimination communication...

It's interesting. It's basically "potty training" starting as an infant. I've read where some people start at birth, and some people wait a few months. It certainly would save money on diapers and time for washing the diapers. I'm sure your probably thinking that I'm crazy and ultimately too lazy to follow through on it, but it's interesting to think about.

I PROMISE I'll get some belly shots posted soon....

ITS A GIRL!!!!

Say Hello to Ms. Maddie!! :) Still working on a middle name, but her first name will be Madilyn. :)

Sorry the pictures are so small. but you can clearly see that she looks like an ALIEN!! :):) so instead of a bun in my oven, I've got an alien in my oven.. ;) hehe kinda fitting with our love of sci-fi.. hehe :)

later

~Ky (aka Maddie's mom) :):):):):)
