I am excited to announce that Kyla is going to be a big sister! I am 12 weeks today and everything with the baby has looked great thus far! I want to make sure I keep getting on here and documenting this pregnancy. I actually got this blog for that reason a few months ago (but I miscarried) so I really want to make sure I stay on top of it this pregnancy. I hate trying to think back on being pregnant with Kyla and going 'did I have this? or that?' So at twelve weeks pregnant I am up about five pounds (don't judge - fast food got the best of me for awhile). I am still in regular clothes most of the time. I sometimes whip out the maternity jeans. They are really just more comfortable then my regular jeans. My shirts fit me fine so far. I will be having to make a trip to the store for some bigger bras though very very soon! I have already gone up a whole cup size! I am happy to say my morning sickness this time around was easy compared to when I was pregnant the first time. I did have it but usually it was just around dinner time until I went to bed and no vomiting!! It started getting worse the past week or so but is starting to become almost nonexistent! Yay for that! As for cravings I have had some. Right now, I absolutely love cucumbers, broccoli, and celery with ranch dip! Yummm! Oh and miracle whip. kind of weird I know! haha. I was never a big fan of it, but right now it tastes SO good!
That's about all for the pregnancy. I think next week (Beginning of the 2nd tri!) I will start doing that survey thing. As for everyday life, It's been very busy. My wedding is in less than three weeks (YIKES!) and we are moving to a bigger and better home at the end of this month! I am super stoked! It's more a month so we are going to have to re-do our budget, but it is so worth it! That's all for now. I am sure I will have more stuff to post soon :)
Hey! I wasn't sure if I should respond to your comment over here or on my blog, but since that post was a few days ago, I thought I'd come to your blog.
ReplyDeleteWe have a non HE top loader. I did a little search though and I found a couple threads on babycenter that might help you.

It looks like as long as you can find a way to get more water in there (either by doing a 'bulky' setting or putting a wet towel at the bottom of the load) and let them soak for a bit, you should be good. You could still use a TBS or so of HE powder Tide, or you could try an HE version of 'official' cloth diaper detergent (like Rockin Green, BumGenius or Charlie's).
Hopefully that helped a little bit! Congrats on baby #2!
