*My BP today was 116/78.
*My ankles aren't swollen at all today... yay.
*Baby was in a more favorable "LOT" position today, which mostly means he is on my left side, head down, and not along my spine like last week. But, as they tell me, it changes from minute to minute, really, anyway... :)
*Hanging in there! Week and a half to go!
Josh is off tomorrow and works Wednesday/Thursday, and then he's off Friday and my mom comes! So I only have two more days to 'survive' being pregnant, with a toddler, by myself.
I'll try and add a picture to this post at some point...

I dont know how you are surviving this heat at 38 weeks pregnant, I am struggling and I am 20 weeks behind you! Glad you have the day to just veg in the air conditioning
As of today, you are officially more pregnant than I ever was with my Laura. Hope you're tolerating this heat okay!
(came over from Amy's blog and keep reading because I like reading about your cloth diapering adventures...) ... I've had my daughter in cloth since the first week we brought her home... let me know if you have questions. We're a fuzzibunz family, but we've used everything from kissluvs, bumgenius AIO, prefolds/covers (ick!), mutts, blueberry OS pocket, TKCuddlers... and I'm sure a few others - but we keep going back to FB as our favorites!
Hey Andrea! I wondered how you'd found me! I am going to post a little 'cloth diaper review' at some point, comparing FuzziBunz and bumGenius and the one Happy Heinys that I have...
Any pointers for stinky diapers? Mine sat a whole extra day, in the heat, and a few of the liners really stink. I already did an extra wash with no detergent, and laid them in the sun, and the diapers now seem fine... but one of the liners at least is really rank. Yuck!
I just looked at your countdown on the sidebar and I can't believe it says 11 days!!! WOW!! Exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time!
Hmmm...stink from sitting too long - usually when that happens I just toss it back in the wash so it'll go through another time - sunning also works as you've seen. The other thing I do about once a month is a bleach wash with about 4 rinses afterwards on JUST the inserts. Don't use bleach on the outsides though - it'll break them down.
I see some people who say they have stashes of diapers long enough to last them 3-4 days between washings, but I find that wheneveer I go more than my every other day routine, they do tend to get stinky. By the next time they're washed though, it's usually better.
Oh yeah - does your pail have a lid on it? If you leave the lid open it'll let some air get to the diapers and you won't get the overwhelming stench smell when you open the pail. I don't always leave it open, but if I know it's wash day - I might open the lid before I leave for work in the morning so when I get home that night it's not overwhelming.

totally agreeing with Andrea on the washing thing. I too bleach my inserts once in a while...when they get super stinky! You can also throw in a little oxiclean with your next diaper load and it should take a lot of the dried on stains away.
Oh the things we do for our children and the environment...
