newborn care class

last weekend we took a 6 hr newborn care class. it was basically a class about what you need to know once the baby is here. it was very informative and interesting...the instructor was very much into breastfeeding and being green. she kept on advocating cloth diapers, so it's something we are considering. there's a cloth diaper service in the bay area that will pick up/deliver diapers every week and the cost is only a few cents more per diaper than disposable diapers. i just don't know how leaky cloth diapers will be, but we're attending a "diaper 101" session in august at the store that provides the cloth diaper service so we'll find out more info then. the instructor also said that we shouldn't use disposable wipes in the first few weeks and to just to use a washcloth and water!

each day i feel like i'm getting bigger and bigger...still have 6 more weeks to go! the baby is pretty active and moves around a lot which makes it fairly uncomfortable for me. it's interesting to see all the shapes my belly contort to though. a lot of times there will be something sticking out, it's very funny. we're going to do a 4D ultrasound on Mon so i'll see how the baby is oriented and hopefully get a better idea of what's poking me!!
