26 weeks and I can pop out my belly button!

Baby Bonobo’s Sling

Thanks to my sister Jessy, I have a wonderful fleece lined sling for Baby Bo.  It is amazing and I’m seriously going to have to be sending her more fabric for more slings!

James tried it out with a sack of potatoes to resemble an infant.

See the monkey fleece on the inside!

Then we decide to give Daisy a try in the sling.  She was an unwilling stand in for a baby.

Baby Bonobo

We had our big anatomy scan and they said everything looks really great with Baby Bonobo  and that we’re having a little girl!

Here she is at 19 weeks.

Dude, I’m tired.  14 weeks and exhausted.  This is just before my nap.

Cloth Diapering: FuzziBunz

These are not your mother’s cloth diapers!

James and I are spending a lot of time researching cloth diapering options for the future and one company we have found that we really like is FuzziBunz.   Also, one of my favorite blogs, Pacing the Panic Room,  is helping FuzziBunz give away cloth diapers to one lucky family and I’m hoping we are going to be that family.

From their website:

The FuzziBunz® One-Size Diapers are the most adjustable and innovative one-size cloth diapers on the market today! Adjust the diapers to fit babies 7-35 pounds and get a snug fit every time with the button-adjusted waist and leg casings. The leg casings adjust to 8+ settings and the waist adjusts to 4+ settings. Never before has a pocket-style cloth diaper been SO adjustable!

And the great thing about FuzziBunz® is that they always use sturdy snap closures which will withstand 3+ years of use and elastic that is easily replaceable if it ever fails making it a long standing and dependable diapering system for years to come.

Choose from eight fun colors!
Introductory Pricing 18.95.

Bonobo 12w1day

For those who don’t already know, this is why we haven’t been around much the last few weeks.  This is our 12 week ultrasound of our little baby-to-be!   I’m due some time in March and we are planning a natural homebirth with an amazing midwife here in Baltimore.

As you can imagine, we are so excited by our little buddy!  We aren’t going to find out if we’re getting a little boy or a little girl- so in the meantime please forgive the artibrary selection of ‘him’ or ‘her’ when we talk about him.

We are working on some good names, but for now we’re calling him Bonobo*.

The other reason we haven’t been around much this summer is all the trips we’ve been taking.  Since conception he’s been a traveling fool- he’s been to Colorado Spring, Michigan, New York City, South Carolina.  I post the rest of those trip photos eventually.

It is starting to get a bit cool here in the evenings and fall has started, so before long we’ll have a fire in the fireplace and I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on this blog.
