Wooooo! Over half way there! It has flow by but seems to be going to slow at the same time. I'm getting excited now! I went through some of Mason's old baby clothes last night and everything looks good. Cody took an inventory of baby items in the attic and things are seeming to come together. I got my breast pump the other day so that was good. I found a sit and stand stroller for $50 on craigslist so we'll about that. We still need car seats but that will come. Those will be a big investment.
So I think with this baby I am going to try something new. I think I'm going to wear my baby. I am looking into some fabric baby carriers. I'm going to purchase a ring sling as soon as I get the chance and I think I'm going to try a DIY stretchy wrap. I just need some good fabric for it. Fabric.com has a good sale on the right Fabric right now but wouldn't you figure, we're broke. hahah.
I'm in total nesting mode. Mom and I are supposed to get paint sometime soon and Cody and I are supposed to paint. I'm excited. I wouldn't mind things looking better around here. I just can't wait to get ready for him. We just don't have the money to go all out right now... ever.
My next OB appt is a week from today and Mr. Kaleb's anatomy scan is the following Monday. I can't wait to see him again! It will have been 6 weeks by then that I haven't had an ultrasound.
So far we have some scares. I keep hearing decels in his heart rate with the doppler. None of the Dr.'s seem to care and think I'm being paranoid. Maybe I am but I KNOW my baby's heartbeat. I've been listening to it since it has even been POSSIBLE to listen to it! 'sigh'. He goes through period of lots of movement and no movement. The no movement periods scare me to death. I was in L&D at 20 weeks not feeling movement. Wouldn't you figure as soon as the put the monitors on my belly, he was moving all over the place. I'm NOT complaining though. I LOVE my littlest man move!
What is a Rainbow Baby?
In some circles, babies born to families after the loss of a child are referred to as "Rainbow Babies." The idea is that the baby is like a rainbow after a storm. "Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.
