If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. ~Henry David Thoreau

Hi All,
I know it's been awhile since we've posted anything. Life has been pretty hectic, although we have much to be thankful for. Instead of writing a nice, long post... I'll bullet a few points:
1) Baby Tibbs
-I am in my 19th week of pregnancy... and feeling like a champ!
-With that in mind, I do have some minor back pain. Ugh.
-Matt and I find out the gender of our little one on Friday... needless to say, we're super excited!
-My latest cravings are cold milk, graham crackers with peanut butter, fresh grapefruit and smoothies.
-I have yet to post a baby-belly photo, because I'm a bit insecure about my thick middle section. I promise I'll post one soon...
-I can feel the baby move now... wow... it's pretty amazing to say the least. I can't wait till Matt can feel it too!
-I am overwhelmed in trying to decide what is the safest, best, most cost-effective baby 'stuff' out there. How can we really know? I could use some help in this area.
2) Work
-Matt is still contracting himself for 'odd jobs' in the theater/sound/film/music field. He's plugging away.
-Work for me has been super busy... and I've been trying to pull ten-hour days to try and catch up.
-Details spared, Matt has an interview with a University for a full-time faculty position. We're praying God will provide away for our future.
And that's it for now...

WOW! Lots going on for sure! So glad to hear you're feeling well--except for the back pain. I started to get that and then slept with a wedge pillow underneath my bump (even though it was barely showing). It totally helped me.
ReplyDeleteAs for the baby gear...you're way ahead of me! :) We're just now looking into that stuff! We bought "Best Baby Gear" by Great Expectations, and that's been helpful. A friend of ours also referred us to "Baby Bargains" but we haven't looked into that one. Happy reading, and we'll be praying for ya!
Thanks for the update! I look forward to hearing how your ultrasound goes. We have one in two weeks. I know how you feel about the whole picture thing. I pretty much just look fat at this point. :) I can still wear most of my clothes, though, which is nice.
ReplyDeleteKirk really likes dadlabs.com for product reviews. It's a site designed for dads and has some comedy bits built into it.
Beth,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about stuff. Stuff is stuff. Seriously. Make a FEW priorities. Ours were stroller, carrier, swaddles (I HIGHLY recommend Aden & Anais, we're still using them daily - organic muslin). We didn't stress about a crib, even, because we knew she wasn't going to sleep in one. I would get a Moses basket or a bassinet at first. BORROW what you can.
This is getting too long. I'll send you an email. :)
Love, Liz
