Baby Gifts and Such

A few people have asked if Jon and I are registered at any baby gift places. The answer is yes: The Changing Table (http://www.thechangingtable.net/B3_registry.html) and Babies R Us. The Changing Table is the cloth diapering service we will be using once Evelyn is born. Yes, we are going to use cloth diapers. It is an experiment, but one we both feel strongly about trying. If it doesn't work out, such is life, but we want to try. Saving the earth and stuff like that. So we signed up with a service to have clean diapers delivered every week and dirty ones whisked away to be washed. I'm excited.

This pregnancy is rapidly coming to its climax. I am in the 29th week of pregnancy, only a few short days away from the 30th week, which puts me in the "decades" of weeks in which I'll reach full term. Although a pregnancy is generally measured to 40 weeks, I think you technically are considered full term at 38 weeks, safe to deliver if the baby decides its coming. That really, really, isn't very far away. I'm kind of amazed at the soonness of it all when I think about it for very long. I'll have a child. Everything will be the same, and yet there will be a baby. And that baby will change everything. Amazing.

Also I want to send much love to Alisa, who is currently in labor with her third baby! How very very exciting. I hope all is going well!
