Do the raw silk liners really keep babies dry? Like, as dry as suedecloth or microfleece? Would these work in prefolds? Thanks.

I'm in a contemplative mood tonight and that is not a good thing when surrounded by all the horrible current events in the media. You know, I've often heard that you get to relive your childhood in a way when you have your own children. I can see that to an extent, but to just get Debbie Downer on you, the world just is not the same place. Honestly ( Read more... )

I have come to the conclusion that God maybe lets you think things are happening to your baby so that you realize how much you already love it. At least I hope this is the case.

We went to sneak a peek at furniture today. There's this cute store called Town & Country and they have really unique and "cozy" furniture. I saw a chair I ( Read more... )

Speaking of impatience, that is why I am going to have a difficult time waiting for things. I just pray that baby is fine. I think baby is a girl. Mamas have to have some kind of intuition, right? We ( Read more... )

This Monday, October 4th, I found out I was pregnant. I cannot begin to explain my excitement or shock at getting pregnant on the first try. I am so, so happy. At the same time, I have been scared a little. Yesterday morning, I almost fainted. If my husband hadn't been home to catch me, I would've hit the floor. I was hysteric and started crying ( Read more... )

I am so ready to decorate our house. We've lived in this house for 10 months now and I've finally decided on a "style," if you can call it that. I want to make it feel like an artsy house in the woods, even though we are in the city. We are graciously surrounded by some trees and the house is historic, so I think it will work. I'm going to start ( Read more... )
