We had a dr's appt. today and were able to hear the baby's heartbeat!  At first Dr. Pete couldn't find it and I got really nervous.  It was beating at a whopping 155 bpm!!!  Not bad for only being 3.5 inches long - WOW!!  I really don't have any inklings as to the sex, but Isaac's heartbeat was always in the 150's - so maybe we will be blessed with two little monkeys :o)
Rob was really excited to hear it, I think it was reassuring to both of us to hear!  It seems so real now! 
I keep having dreams that when the baby comes, we are completely prepared... except for diapers!  I end up using t-shirts and bandannas to get us through - weird, huh?  Maybe it's because we are planning on using cloth and I haven't yet decided on a method that will work best for us.  Yes, I said method.  Cloth diapering is nothing like it used to be!  So far I have made a diaper using old t-shirts and crocheted a "soaker" with a really ugly wool yarn.  Without the baby in front of us, it's hard to determine which brand on diaper covers and what sizes will work best.  I am hoping that this baby grows at a slower rate than Isaac, but that's not up to me!!
I also woke up in a panic a couple of nights ago because I couldn't figure out how to rearrange our bedroom so that the cradle would fit.  It took me a bit to remember that our lease is up in December and we won't even be living here...
Have a most enjoyable weekend - we plan on heading downtown GR for the Mexican festival and the Chili Cookoff.  On Sunday we will be at Kylie's house celebrating her 4th birthday!
