Captain Adorable takes on dead pirate!
Oooh, really??
No pictures, please, I've had a long day.

Sorry for the long break in between posts, but my parents were here visiting and didn't have a lot of time for the computer!

Finally getting rid of the skank bathroom...and poor Conchita

So we got a laundry tub for our half bathroom, but decided we might as well rip out the wallpaper and paint the walls while we had the sink pulled out. It's not as easy as they made it look on the dvd! The people who lived here before us did a half assed job on everything, including the wallpaper. It's so ugly, and the seams were coming loose-the sink was horrible, I hated the faucet, the counter, everything.
This will be nice once it's done, but I honestly didn't think it would be this hard or take this long! I'll take some pictures later so you can see the craziness in our house right now. The laundry tub, washer, and dryer are all sitting in our dining room area. I only stripped half the wallpaper last night and it took 3 hours and the walls just look horrible. In my defense, only a tiny bit of the damage was done by me-the rest was hidden by the wallpaper! I wonder how it would look if we painted over what wallpaper was left...
Here's a picture of a similar sink-ours is better though. It has a nice sprayer, and a nice big faucet.
It's too bad that we just now have money for projects like this-I sure would have preferred to do this a few months ago! Being almost 9 months pregnant and doing this crap isn't fun. But I want it to be done, I want to have a nice bathroom finally, so it will get done! This baby is the best thing to ever happen to us! We are so motivated by his coming, we've done more in the past few months than we have in forever.



On the pregnancy side of things, woot, 35 weeks! I'm getting some kind of rash on my stomach though, red, itchy bumps in my newly developed stretchmarks =( I'm going to call the dr. and see if they have any ideas on how to make it not itch. So far, all that helps is holding ice on it. Hydrocortisone cream and lotions don't do much at all, and I basically want to scratch my skin off. Not too fun!

Diapers

Ok, here's my cloth diaper stash. I originally planned on making most of it, but I got such great deals on some that I couldn't pass them up-they were either free for shipping or needed elastic replaced, which is super easy, but most people can't/won't do.
If you have questions, let me know!


all my NB diapers. I made the 3 on the bottom of the pile on the left. The rest are a mix of Kissaluvs, prefolds and other fitteds. 3 covers, I made the paw fleece one.

wetbags (where dirty diapers go)-I made the pirate one. 3 small wool soakers (I made all but the blue one)

all my smalls. My favorite is the orange. It's an all in one with a pumpkin face on the back! I made the green and black ones on the far side. The rest are fuzzi bunz and blueberry pockets, and a bunch of bumgenius One sizes.

I made all the wipes. I need to make more but they're so boring. They're all double sided, terry on one side, fleece, flannel, knit or cotton on the other.

all the inserts and doublers for my pockets. I need more of these, but same as the wipes, they're boring to make.
