Update...

...what I've been up to... because I don't want to clean!!! I'm hoping I'll eventually have that "nesting" phase that makes me want to deep clean the house, but right now I'd rather paint and sew and do all things not related to cleaning something (I've always been that way, though!).




The one on top is my very first cloth diaper... a Bum Genius 3.0 (don't make 'em like they used to, huh?)! It is called a pocket diaper. It works by stuffing a microfiber type insert into the "pocket" located on the inside. When it is dirty (eww!) you can take out the insert and then throw the whole thing into the wash. There are many different types of CD's to choose from, so by the time it's all said and done I'll probably have several differnt ones! The one on bottom is my first attempt at making one! I have yet to do the velcro, and I'm not sure how waterproof it is, but hopefully it will work as a cover over a prefold (more like the old CD's) that will be coming in the mail shortly!



My nursing cover from modestmommy.com. I've also found a pattern online that looks pretty easy to do, but my sewing skills aren't too good, so we'll see!





I found these at Kohl's... BOGOF!!! I couldn't resist! The big one is a coat hanger (DH wasn't too sure why the wheels stuck out so much, but he liked that they were big.. haha)! If you look closely in the picture frame you can see our baby boy!!!













This is the old wooden army footlocker that I finally got painted! It will be his toy chest.



Hope everyone had a wonderful fourth! DH and I made it down to see the folks! We enjoyed Dad's birthday (July 1) a little late, and watched some rainy fireworks! Also, I learned that one of my good friends who lives in Kentucky just had her little boy (on July 1)!!! He's so adorable, and it makes me anxious to meet our little one all that much more!


Take care everyone!
