I came into my bedroom the other day to find this sweet little lamb fast asleep on the floor all tucked into a perfectly made bed.
And I found this sweet little girl keeping watch over him as he slept.

I'm Such A Nerd
We got our taxes done today and we found out we were getting much more than we had originally thought. So what did I do? Like any good American I went right home, got on the internet and spent some money. I ordered these bad boys for the little babe-to-be.
What is so special about these you ask? Well, we used cloth diapers on Elliett from 4 months old until she potty trained last July and these are wool soaker pants used over certain kinds of cloth diapers. When Ellie was younger, these pants were absolutely impossible to get and I mean impossible. One person in the world knit them and there were very few available. I know some (admittedly crazy) people who paid over $200 to get some in their hot little hands (that is not nearly what I paid in case you were wondering). And of course since they were so hard to get and so irresistably cute I really wanted some for Ellie but I was never able to get any. But now the girl who designed and knit the originals has hired Peruvian women in a Fair Trade Co-Op to knit them so now they are more widely available. Now my nerdiest dream has come true.
Oh and for those of you who don't know what a fanatic I am, I love cloth diapers and I'm very excited to use them with this next baby so you'll probably be hearing about them quite often in the coming months and years. I've included links in my post about cloth just in case you were curious :)

On July 15th...
We will have a new baby GIRL! We just got back from the ultrasound and it was great! She looks healthy and very wiggly :) Ellie is excited to have a baby sister although I'm not sure she gets the whole idea yet. Rob and I say to her, "Mommy has a baby in her tummy." And she'll say, "Me too!" I know she'll be beside herself with joy when we bring the baby home - it will be so much fun!
