1. I'm glad I chose to try out cloth diapering before this baby came, because it does take some "getting into the swing of things," and that would be overwhelming with a new baby (not to discourage people who are planning to do this with their first child; I think it's hard for me because I already had a system going with disposables and have had to change things up).
2. We lost our water yesterday morning around 9 or 10, and it wasn't fixed until today around 1 or so. Over 24 hours without flushing the toilet, washing our hands, brushing our teeth, showering, etc. with our own water - yikes! We headed over to Josh's parents' house and showered and brought back some water to fill the toilet with and to brush teeth with and the like. But that inconvenience was a big pain. Plus it made it impossible to wash any diapers! I have been doing them every other night, so this was more than a whole extra day of them stinking in the diaper pail. Add in the heat, and wow. Gross. I just heard the dryer click off, though, so all is well in paradise once again!
3. Josh is taking Ben to Enchanted Forest tomorrow. He'll be about 3 hours away. Everyone has been making comments about me going into labor while he's gone. (It's annoying.) However, on the bright side, this trip has served as one more "hurdle" to get over before I really want the baby to come out. So it's been nice to have something to pull me through.
4. I treated myself to my first-ever Spotted Box this month. I had read about it on someone else's blog... basically you pay for a box of surprise samples to be delivered to your door. I think they are all handmade, and they are all eco-friendly. You can get a big box or a small one, and I chose the small one. I was going to go big and say hey - it's my treat! But I decided to check it out in small version first. The boxes go on sale on the 15th of each month, and then are priority mailed within two days, so I should get it fairly soon. My goal is to wait until I get home with the new baby to open it, to give myself something to look forward to... but I am also going to allow myself to open it right away if this baby takes forever to come out, because I'll need some cheering up!
That's the update for now, sorry so long and boring - I hope to post a picture with the next one.
