Well, I'm 30 weeks tomorrow and I can say that I am thrilled to be meeting this little one that has been swimming around inside me. Although I always mourn the loss of pregnancy, I love having a precious newborn!
We've been trying to find a car seat. Trying to determine what kind we want and if we'll buy it new or used. I got a wonderful deal on some pocket cloth diapers and ordered 8 of them. I'm praying that will be all that I need for diapering Gid until he is 1 year old. I have some other pockets, fitteds and covers that I will also use. I'm thinking about a double stroller, too. We'll really need something that works well and fits a carseat for when i'm trying to shop alone with 6 kids!
And we got a car!!! Our van only sat 7, so we upgraded to an 07 odyssey with an 8th seat. The kids like it because it is much roomier than our old Odyssey..and because it has a DVD player (that we'll only use for looooong trips). I like it because of the low mileage and great price :) We looked at some SUVs and 12 passenger vans, but I'm thankful to not have to give up my automatic sliding doors, low gas mileage and great turn radiace.
We've also been working on some organization things. Making charts for the boys to help them be more independent in their chores and morning routines. It will help me out and gets them excited about doing their jobs. I'm really going to need a good schedule come November.
That's about it for now! We've been doing lots of fun things...taking a pontoon boat out and apple picking, but I haven't been so good about bringing the camera :(
