I have officially entered my second trimester of pregnancy, so that means the baby is 14-weeks old and about 3.5 inches long from crown to rump! I even feel him/her move around some; which is very reassuring since my morning sickness is mostly gone now - woooo hoooo.
Speaking of morning sickness. I have only had two bouts in the last week and they were very slight. I do; however, have some small waves of nausea come and go throughout the day, but those seem to be getting better too. PRAISE THE LORD. I was even able to take my prenatal vitamin last night. I only took 1 (suppose to take 4 a day), but I am working up slowly as to not re-kick start any morning sickness symptoms.
We get to have our BIG ultrasound in just under 4 weeks, and I am really excited. I can't wait to hear that everything looks perfect and to find out the gender.
Yesterday I went in to what will be the new baby's room and started thinking about what we will and will not need. If we have a girl we will need considerably less than if we have a boy (due to the large amounts of girl clothes, blanket and general stuff we kept). But either way we will need a crib and some other things. I am also trying to decide if we should use cloth diapers. I am excited about that possibility mostly because I have a few friends that use them and LOVE them. Plus, they are no longer the fold, pin and cover diapers. Actually, if you want to check them out go to www.nurturedfamily.com I am thinking about getting 12-18 onesize fits all and then 3-8 sized diapers. What do you think? Any opinions out there about the cloth vs. disposable?
Anyway, my nesting is just starting to kick in and I am simply thinking all the time about setting things up. This will be so much easier once we know if we are having BABY BOY or BABY GIRL. Just a few more weeks. I'll keep you posted.
I am a simple woman that believes God gives us gifts from heaven each and every day. Do we take the time to notice those gifts? I will talk about God, dreams, kids, nature, and health by using various means such as nutrition and essential oils, love, loss, food, fun and much more! You will hear about my different endeavors, challenges and harebrained schemes.

I don't think you need that many! I think that getting sized might be good for the beginning, as the one-size are pretty bulky on newborns. Though the FuzziBunz onesize are notably less bulky. But I would say 18 plus some fitted would be more than you'd even need! We have 12-15 (per kid) and that works super well!
