One Step Closer


Here are the products of my afternoon (and some hours of planning...) I think I already wrote about these. Here it is tradition to make these favors and hand them out to people who come to visit and/or give a gift. They have a few little chocolates on them and someone will write the name on them when the baby is born.

I made 4 different kinds and am very pleased with how they turned out! I think it is not normal tradition to show them before the baby is born, but who said I follow all the traditions here?

Updates

Work
I think I am done working the end of next week. Sooner than expected, but I am sooo looking forward to it. More info about how it got moved a month earlier is on my other blog. *edit* I still will be done in the next 2 weeks, but I have to go to the doctor with my boss and the doctor will confirm that the work is too much for me and ask my boss if there is something else for me to do, she will say no and then I will be put on a pre-maternity leave with 80% of my pay. Sounds good to me!Diapers
I know some think I am crazy, but I would like to try cloth diapers, mainly for the savings (I figure since I am not working, I should try to be very careful with the $) and 2ndly for all the good things I have heard about cloth diapering. I bought 3 'non-folded' on sale for 5 euros, so I figured that was no major investment and then I bought all these 2nd-hand for 50 euros. I was excited. She had 22 other ones (same as the newborn ones I bought: pre-folded, non-waterproof) ranging from size S-XL for 1 euro each. I now wish I would've bought them! I think I should contact her! I just was overwhelmed at the moment trying to decide.I have 5 newborn, 11 AIO (all-in-one) for 4-10 kilo (newbornish-1 year), and 30 absorbent liners.Doopsuiker/Birth Announcements
