I don't think its too late to change to cloth EVER. considering Jona might be in diapers for another 1 1/2 years you might save plenty of money. Even if you just use two clothies a day, you save 56 diapers a month. Double that if you have two kids. Yuo can get fairly well priced All in Ones or prefolds or fitteds from WAHMs (mothering is a great source but I'm sure yuo know that already ).

About the glucose test. I had breakfast before both tests. I ate the same stuff I always eat in the morning and I passed both tests just fine. I think I'm the only person who actually liked the drink but it was a bit chilly for me. I like my glucose luke warm

You're right... But I wanna do AOI then... Easier!

Hm my glucose drink was ice cold and I got brain freeze from it. It wasn't too bad, just like sugary Gatorade I guess, still not my fave though!

Adam has 10 kushies and while they are ok for home I wouldn't recommend them to a CD newbie. They leak a lot above the velcro so the pants are wet or moist right at baby's belly. Adam can only wear them for 2 hours or so and then they are soaked and start leaking. I like some prefolds better than the kushies.

There's a thread in the CD forum at MDC right now, about which ones are the WORST diapers. Maybe that is a start so you can see what NOT to buy . For Jona's age, considering you wash every other or every 3 days, you'd probably have to get around 25 diapers (if you want to do it exclusively). You might spend a good 300 bucks on that alone but then you have it and just wash it. Also, there's a WAHM in another forum. She makes AIOs or fitteds. Her site is www.leoslove.com but there's not much on there. Maybe you can send her an email or I can ask her how much she takes for an AIO. I got one from her as a gift when Allie was a newborn at it looked cute and worked very well.

went to my 31 weeks appointment today. everything is perfect, baby measuring right, HB at 130, and I gained 2.4 lbs in 2 weeks, which is perfect considering we're supposed to be gaining a pound a week.

[Eveline 9]

Nessa. Good to see that everything is going well.

[Nessa 23]

oh, and the baby's head is down she said he can still change position but it's unlikely

[Eveline 9]

Wohooo..even better. ready to go..well, not quite yet. She still has at least 7 weeks but I just can't believe you're almost there.

Even if I'm getting on your nerves with the CD...I hear a lot of good things about Happy Heinis (sp??). Here's a basic package

http://www.kellyscloset.com/Happy-Heinys-O...age_p_3321.html for a fairly good price. The are one size so they grow with baby. With only 12 diapers you'd have to wash every other day, depending on if baby is a heavy wetter or not.

[Nessa 23]

those diapers sound interesting.

Hooray for upside-down babies!

Have any of you been sicker than usual since becoming pregnant? I've always had a strong immune system, and I would catch a cold maybe once every year or two. Now it looks like I'm dealing with the third chest cold since December, and today I'm really achy. These colds also wipe out my appetite, which isn't necessarily bad in my case. I wonder if my immune system's resources are all going to the baby. More than happy to share with the little one, but I'd like to keep just a little for myself.

[Nessa 23]

i had a 6 weeks terrible cold on my 1st trimester. today it's back, so far not as bad, but i feel extremely tired and my thorat hurts. w e'll see if it'll get as bad, i hope not.

i think the immune system resources are sucked by the baby

Hope you feel better!

I guess my coworker could be bringing in germies from his infant, who's picking them up at daycare. They've both been sick a lot lately too.

[Nessa 23]

could be. i'm glad where i work the kids are 7-13 years old, the other building where they are babies-6 the girls that work there are constantly getting sick.

I haven't been sick at all except for m/s. I keep hand sanitizer on my desk and use it all the time. I also wash my desk, phone, keyboard, pen, and pencil off with antibacterial wipes every time I come back to use them. Since other people do use my stuff when I'm not here I just prefer to be extra cautious.
