baby days...

its been a while! here we are at 3o weeks...10 more to go. a week or two less would be fine by me :) i see this picture and i dont know how i'm going to get bigger--but i'm sure i will. piggy weighs in at around 3 lbs and for the next 7 weeks s/he will gain about 1/2 lb a week! movements are starting to get crazy strong, and i'm sure piglet's starting to run out of room in there...

today, zane and i did a bit of shopping for little baby things. a few onesies (pictured below--i *heart* mommy and i *heart* daddy--can you tell zane's excited?!) , a bunch of bathtime goodies, some diapers, and a fitted crib sheet. we're getting ready slowly but surely :)
tonight we made our first batch of homemade wipes! i found a recipe online that uses paper towels, baby oil and baby wash with water, all put into a plastic container and left to soak. who knows how well they work, but they smell wonderful!
tomorrow we have plans to lay around and watch the chiefs play the texans, (hopefully with the windows open and cooler air blowing in (it was 92 degress in concord today at 2pm!)), eat some high iron-content food (according to the dr, my iron levels are low), put ice/heat on my back (which has been helping the shooting pains down my backside...sciatica anyone?! :( ), and enjoy our day off before a full week of work. hope everyone's weekend is restful and enjoyable...
til next time...ally and zane

Well, I must say--you're feeding that baby pretty well! Are there twins on your side of the family, Allie? I still think it's going to be a boy--looks like you're carrying piggy pretty low--and that's an old wivs tale. Luv ya both--will I be seeing you at Kristen's wedding?
