Quints by Surprise

Have you seen this show? It's amazing! These parents are amazing. I just can't imaging raising 5 kids at once. Wow! But I feel like they're doing a great job. The Joneses are a lot more normal than the other "Multiples' Parents."

I really enjoy this show. The kids are adorable. The big sister, Eliot is super cute too. The family just seems to be so normal. You know, besides having 5 babies running around. But this is a great family. And I hope that this family is able to stay in one piece. They're super sweet. Here's a clip of the family. You should really check out this show. H

Simply Adorable!

Earlier this week, Uncle S showed up to my house, with a big 'ol bag of clothes for Charlotte. Yes, he did! All kinds of cute things. Something tells me, he bought out the little girls' department at Old Navy. :)



But this is my favorite dress!!! Isn't it adorable? I think so. And I want to take Charlotte's picture in it. I just can't wait! But I wanted to find some cute shoes to go with the dress. :)



And I found these! Aren't they adorable? I just love them! They match the pink in the dress exactly! And those little bows. Aren't they precious?

Yes, I went to Old Navy today. Why? I'm not sure. My little girl officially has 4X's as much clothing as I do! But I found a lot of cute things. These shoes are my favorites! And they we're under $10! I couldn't pass them up.

Ya, Charlotte got way more than that from her Uncle S. And I bought a heck of a lot more than just these today. But these are definitely my favorites! Now, I just need to sit and be patient. Charlotte needs to finish "cooking." And then, we will take loads of pictures in all of her cute clothes! H

Pears

I've had this ridiculous craving for pears this past week. As in, I've eaten at least 12 in about a week! Uncle S brought us a HUGE case! He feels like I need to take care of myself. And part of that is eating what I crave, when I crave it. Made me laugh!

But they are delicious! Since last night, I've had 3. Is this weird? Am I weird? Whatever the case may be, these pears are delicious! And I've never been a big fruit and veggie eater. So that tells you a lot! I mean A LOT!

I asked my doctor about it. She said it was more than OK. Because, well, you know. It's good for me and my baby girl. Just not good if I eat an entire pound in a sitting...or even a day. But I guess there are worst cravings out there. H

Mexican Chicken

I just watched this video. And this chicken dinner looks so yummy! It reminds me of the food from my hometown. I really want to make this recipe. It looks super easy. And well, I need that. Because I'm not a good cook. And cooking chicken, it scares me. I once made me and T really sick. Because I don't think the chicken was all the way cooked.

I'm going to have to go to the grocery store tomorrow, after church. And I'm definitely going to make this. I'm so hungry! But tonight's dinner is already in the Crock Pot. I just can't believe how easy this looks to make. Yum! H

Too Many Tomatoes???

Can you have too many tomatoes? I think so. Scratch that. I don't think, I know so! I planted way too many plants this year. Because I wasn't sure what I was doing. I bought a pack of each kind of tomato that I found. And a big pot for each. Then I planted a pack of seeds in each pot.

Um, can you see where I went wrong? Ya. Too many plants in a pot. Lead me to go buy more pots. Then, I had too many plants. Now I have tomatoes coming out every which direction! I'm giving them to everyone that comes around!

But they are delicious. And if I knew anything about cooking, well I'd freeze or can them. But I don't. So I'm enjoying them fresh from the garden. Baby girl seems to enjoy them too! That's a good thing. Because we have tons! And we'll probably be eating them for the remainder of this pregnancy. Now I know. Next year, I'll only plant a few seeds. :) H

Charm Bracelets

So cute! I want one of these bracelets. I've always wanted a charm bracelet. I'm considering buying myself one of these beauties. Because they're just beautiful!

I just feel like charm bracelets tell such a great story! You can add charms that mean something to you in your life. Like a ring for your wedding. Or baby booties for a new baby. A little house, car, or something like that on a big day.

I've always wanted a charm bracelet. They tell such great stories. And they're beautiful! I've looked around at Charm Factory. And I'm really tempted. But I'm going to wait until after my little girl is born. That way I can pick out some meaningful charms, to represent our life at this point. H

Diaper Bag

I finally decided on a Diaper Bag. I ogt the Kalencom Quilted Traveler Diaper Bag. I wanted something that didn't look too much like a Diaper Bag. I like the sleek and chic look of this bag. And I'm really happy with it! It's surprisingly big and room. I know that you can't tell from the picture. But it's a good sized bag. Now I just need to get some stuff to put inside. :) H

Cloth Diapers

I watched this video by CandidMommy (aka Jeni)...



And it changed my life. No...really it did! I had thrown around the idea. I talked to my bestie about it. She is all knowledge, on all things baby. She is really the reason I decided to breastfeed my little girl. And she encouraged cloth diapering. But...

Well, I was a little weird by it all. Cloth diapers? Really? I wasn't so sure. But I thought, heck why not research a bit. And I did. I'm convinced. This is what I need to do for my little princess. :)

I just bought a bunch of Fuzzi Bunz. I placed an order for 12 of the extra small and 12 of the small. Oh, I also bought some bags for the diapers. Uncle S...well he went and placed a HUGE order! And got us a Diaper Service. Local. So all things are good. And we are cloth diapering. :)

I also talked to the Daycare where Charlotte is going to go. And they were actually really supportive of the idea. I'm so glad! I think this is going to be best for my little girl. And the diapers are so cute! H

Preparing for Daycare

Now that I know where Charlotte is going to Daycare, I'm trying to get ready. Her Daycare is amazing! They are so excited about us breastfeeding and cloth diapering. A very supportive place.

I got to meet with the ladies, that are going to be taking care of Charlotte. They showed me where they are going to store my milk. And they are very excited that I work down the road. Because I'll be spending my lunch breaks with my little girl. We'll both be having our lunch together. :)

But I also got a good idea of what we'd need. I picked up some stuff. And there are still some things that I'm on the hunt for. Like bottles. You know, for when I'm working. I'm also considering some pacifiers. Things like that. But here is what I've gotten so far.

Lots and lots of Fuzzi Bunz! I know we're going to need these. And I mean lots! Like in 3 dozen just for Daycare.

And a wet bag. You know to put the Fuzzi Bunz in. I actually bought 4 different ones. But this is the one that is going to stay at Daycare.

And a diaper bag. You know to put everything in. :)

This is a really nice Daycare. And I'm so lucky to have found it. They are so excited to work with the parents. And are willing to do just about anything to make it easy on you. I'm so glad about this.

There are still some things I need to get. But being that I still have almost 3 months until my due date, I think I'm on the right track. Is there anything else that you'd recommend? H

Perfect Set!!!

Isn't this set so elegant and cute? What a pretty way to change diapers! I seen this set on this video...



And I LOVE it! You can buy it here. They range from $35-40 for the set. They all have wipee cases. The sets either have burp clothes or a changing pad.

Oh, and it matches this Diapees case! So perfect! I just love this print. And the colors. I know, not traditionally a "girly" combo. But they also have it in pink. :)



I would LOVE this set to stick in my purse. You know. For a quick trip to the grocery store or something like that. When you don't want to take a big diaper bag with you. Do you know what I mean?

And the group that Sonia mentioned...I joined that too. It's a great group! And I'm sure that I'm going to use it a lot more when Charlotte is born. Perfect for a breastfeeding-mommy-to-be. H
