Diaper Bag (beware: sarcastic post)

Introducing our Skip Hop - Duo Double Deluxe Edition Tote Diaper Bag:




It was a difficult decision, considering I have NOTHING to compare it to. So, let's hope it finds a place in our family. :-)








Apparently, it is made especially for "double the kids". So, it is rather LARGE.

Let's take a look at some other views of this extraordinary bag (as I try to convince myself that this bag will single-handedly help organize my life and make me a GREAT Mommy that's got it all together all the time).



It's got to be great.. look how happy she is!
(It attaches to the back of the stroller)













Oooh, and all that space...

Some pix of the nursery..

The Nursery is not quite complete yet, but very close. Alex's parents recently ripped up the old rug and had the hardwood floors refinished. Also, they repainted the room. 2 of the walls are a pale green and the other 2 are an eggshell color with a dark green border at the top. It is very nice, cheery and subtle.

Obviously, a crib is still missing. We need to find one that matches the one in there. The new one will be placed where the bassinet is now. For it to fit, the dresser will have to be moved back towards the door.
























Believe it or not, both this dresser and the one in the following picture are almost full with clothes!




We will remove the books from the standing bookshelf (below) and I will use it to store all the diapers, diapers and some more diapers.. Oh and also the baby wipes, powder, butt cream etc..


26 week pix and some others...

Again, I couldn't just choose 1 picture...

26 weeks!

"How your baby's growing:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days."
