Week 8 - Day 4 ~ mac & cheese...really?

how do i feel:


here we are another day in baby world....today all good.  tried to take my nap but some banging (of a hammer) and laughing of my family members would not allow it.  alas i will probably sleep well tonight.  today i only really had some cramps in the afternoon probably due to a yummy scrumdididumptious hot chocolate.  i should probably stay away from such yummy things.  except for that the yawning has taken over my body.  my poor alan can't even watch me for it will make him sleepy snickers.  things that sometimes help me are walks, some kind of activity, drinking water, but really over all the sleepiness is winning.  after reading various others opinions about their experiences with "the yawn" i have come to the conclusion that i have to suck it up.  thankfully alan is supportive and most always gets me to take a nap during the day...which i need.  once work gets up and running it will be interesting and make for a long day.


eating:


lets see...i started my day out with some orange juice and a half of bagel with cream cheese and another with scrambled egg, cheese, and bacon.  thanks to alan i got to have the best of both.....both pumpernickel of course.  so yummy!  lunch really didn't happen today...shrugs...i don't know where the time went but the next thing i knew it was dinner....lol!  ate with the fam (family) some pasta, salad, garlic bread, and pork.  tasty in my mouth....i love homemade sauce..such a treat.  my belly is really happy with the food today...except for the hot chocolate which i guess i could call lunch lol.  note to self no more hot chocolate smirks.  i do need to drink some more water now that i think of it.  i find it hard to remember when i don't have a gym day.  oh and the fridge is MIA again today.  we took all the stuff we could salvage out and unplugged it again.  we will see how it is in the morning!


other:

okay lets see lets talk diapers.  i have spoke with some people about their beliefs about diapers or what they did for diapering their child.  i know alan has indicated he would "prefer" disposable and honestly i don't know how committed i can be to cloth.  i just may not have it in me.....good in theory...good for the environment...but a big pain in the bottom.  i decided to do some research to accompany my current knowledge base.  it seems based on some recent studies that the environmental impact of disposable and reusable diapers is quiet similar.  however pro reusable users insist that if you launder them in a certain way you can decrease the impact.  how one does that i do not know.  with some more research i came to found that in the UK mothers refer to diapers as nappies and they believe that you can save the environment as long as you wash the nappies ( i think i will adopt the term nappies :) in 60 degree water or cooler based on some research. big shrugs....who really knows.  maybe i will buy a couple and try it out...however be warned they can cost up to $20 a piece WOW and let me tell you there are various kinds with many catchy names such as...
