I May Have Overbid On Those......

Since Dan and I have decided I would stay home after the baby was born, we also came to the conclusion that we wanted to use cloth diapers. The cloth diapers I'll be using are not like the ones my mom used on us (although you can still get those). I was more interested in brands like Bum Genius or Fuzzi Bunz  These diapers can fit a baby from 8-35lbs; however, they can be very pricey  at $17-$28 a diaper. It's definitely an investment in the beginning. 

 

With that being said, I've been watching Craigslist and Ebay for good deals. Yesterday, on Ebay,  I finally had a large lot that I was bidding on. I had a good chance of winning this one, and it was still well within my price range per diaper (I'm very particular on what I'm willing to pay per diaper, plus shipping).  The clock was ticking down on the auctions and I had my fingers ready to swoop in and make my bid at the last second. With 10 seconds to go I typed in $160. Wait, what?!- Oh no!- Ebay told me that wasn't enough. The seconds were ticking away and I quickly typed $175 and hit enter. But at the last second I noticed I had forgotten to wipe away all the numbers from my previous bid. I had just bid $1675!

 

The auction ended.

 

 I stared at the screen. My stomach was in my throat. Did I just spend $1675 on diapers?

 

Thankfully Ebay only makes you pay the next dollar amount over the highest bidder, so I owed $184. *HUGE sigh of relief* But can you imagine if I had to explain to Dan how I accidently spent $1675 on some diapers ;)

 

Week 29

On Monday Dan and I were both off work for Veterans Day. We had a nice, relaxing day spent at home.

On Tuesday I finished up the master bath cabinets. They were an ugly honey color (not a fan) with no handles, and although I did take a before picture, I can't seem to get it off my phone. I've given up, so you'll just have to use your imagination. Here is the lovely finished product:

On Wednesday night we went to a Baby Basics class at one of the local hospitals. I know this is our first child, but most of the info in the class was common sense...which I'm always learning is not so common. We did learn helpful things like CPR for infants. I've only taken adult CPR classes before.

One of the couples in our class already had their baby. He came 10 weeks early! Thankfully their son is doing well in the NICU, and he should be able to come home around Christmas; however,  the thought of having the baby that early really spooked me. That would be like us having our baby next week!  I have so much more to buy to get ready. Stay in there little guy........

Thursday was a slow night, spent watching netflix and going to bed at 8:30.

Today we had our 29 week appointment. Everything is going smoothly. I feel great. The baby is doing well. Everything is right on track. Just stay in there..........

Baby's Room

We got our crib! It's a 4 in 1 convertible crib that I was able to buy off Craigslist for $100.00. I love it!
