Jenny's Post

Hello everybody!
In case anyone was wondering, my Fall Saturday was a bit different than Gabe's. After we got home from Seward... I needed a diaper pail... I spent the rest of my day in the kitchen mostly. I had made myself a nice long list that included things like cleaning the bathroom, dusting and vacuuming the floors. Much to my sorrow, none of those things got done :( By the end of the day, my kitchen was clean and the pumpkin was put away.
I had myself a little pity party that evening as I reviewed my day of working and getting nothing done. Gabe says I got a lot accomplished, but I didn't feel like I did. Does anyone else ever have days like that? I still get depressed just thinking about it.
Right now Gabe and Gwen are playing a game in which Gwen dives off the couch and Gabe catches her and throws her back up... and over and over again. Gwen thinks this is most exciting is laughing gleefully. I am glad she is happy now. About an hour ago she woke up very sad and didn't want her Daddy's comfort but cried for "momomom". I don't think she is feeling very well, but she has Tylenol in her now.
Speaking of Gwen... I have decided to start using cloth diapers for her. Now, lest any of you get the idea that I am deeply concerned about saving the earth or something, I'll just let you know that my only motive for doing this is that it does save quite a bit of money. Especially since we will be diapering two babies in the near future. After reading lots of reviews and opinions and buying a few different brands of pocket diapers, I ordered 20 Sunbaby diapers off of Ebay. I am very pleased with them and as far as I can tell, they are just as good as the expensive "Bumgenious". I bought one of those too, so I think I do know what I'm talking about.
Sometime I wonder if it's worth the bother... like when I'm dumping the dirty diapers from the bucket to the washer... but then when I hang them up on the line, all nice and clean, it gives me a sort of smug, virtuous feeling.
Now lets see... maybe you would like to know about my day today. This morning was most exciting, because we went in for the ultrasound so we could see how our new little baby is doing.
Rita, the lady who did the ultrasound, said everything looked very good and that I am 20 weeks along... I wasn't quite sure about that so far, so it is nice to have a better idea about that. I am so happy and relieved to know the baby is doing well, and that I am halfway through this pregnancy. I guess I didn't realize before that I was actually worried about how the baby was doing... and no, mom, it isn't twins :)
So then after we had a bite of lunch, Gabe went back to work, and I stayed in town and whiled away some time at Walmart and Etcetera, and then went to my doctor's appointment. Dr. Novak had a squeaky voice today, but had plenty say anyway :) ... Yes, I know Gwen is most adorable. No, I didn't dress her up for Halloween or take her trick or treating. Yes, I am taking my prenatal vitamins. No, I haven't thrown up lately. Yes, it is lovely fall weather, but I wish it would snow sometime, even if you don't. I'm sorry that Gwen is trying to rip you necklace off and your earrings out... I can imagine that could be painful, on the ears especially... How do I feel? Mostly just tired all the time... Oh, that's normal? Ok. Especially with the second child and the first child only being seven months old? I guess that makes sense.
I like Dr. Novak.
Now I think I will close this epsitle. I didn't make Gabe any supper tonight because he said he didn't want any and wasn't hungry. Now he is eating cookies and milk :) Gwen is trying to help me and would like to tell everyone "HI" but she isn't a very good typist yet.
Goodnight.
