Elsa Louise at 39 Weeks


We spent most of Elsa's 39th week on vacation. We enjoyed three nights at the Metropolis Resort in Eau Claire, WI. We had a great time and Elsa did really well. She started waking every couple of hours at night a few days before we left so she didn't spend much time in the pack-n-play we brought with but she did spend lots of quality time with Grandma Gayle.  She makes me SO nervous the way she buries her head in the mattress that I end up bringing her to bed with me so she'll sleep on her back.

Somehow she's still a happy baby despite not getting a whole lot of uninterrupted sleep.

She's starting to scrunch up her face like her big brother did when he was little. She'll also spit and then laugh at herself. Silly girl! She likes to repeat the sounds I make when we're riding in the van. I think it helps her not feel so alone when she can't see me. At least she can hear her mama's voice.



Diaper Details: Another Flip cover by Cotton Babies. Since I wrote about the Flip the first time I purchased some new diapers. BabyKicks Hemp Prefolds off of Craigslist arrived while we were on vacation. (With the price of gas, it made more sense to pay for shipping and skip the hassle of finding a place/time to meet). I love that we live close enough to a metropolitan area that has lots of cloth diaper users because it has saved us SO much money on diapers. I sold my Happy Heiney pocket diapers and used that money to buy hemp and bamboo diapers on my wish list with very little out of pocket cost.

    Too cute Miss Elsa! LOVE anything by Babykicks. I have four of their pocket diapers and they are perfect for miss skinny Hannah. They never leak either!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
