Baby's 1st Heartbeat

Yesterday I had my first check-up and we got to hear Baby L's heartbeat! The heart was beating at 160 bmp-so fast!! I loved the Dr., she was the first female in the practice Ive seen thus far. She was really sweet and soft spoken. She only held the microphone on my tummy for about a minute, which was a little disappointing.....I wanted to just sit and listen for a while :) Its a shame you are in the waiting for an hour and back seeing the Dr. for 5mins! My blood pressure and weight are all okay. Im still weighing 122, so no weight gain yet. I couldnt ask for a better best friend in this journey- David has been amazing. On the way home he pulls into Toys R Us parking lot..what are we doing here is my reaction. He says were going to buy something every time we go see the Dr. Sweet! He is so concerned with my health and well being- always making sure Im enough protein in my meals....making sure every contractor that walks up with a smoke is told Im pregnant and to put it out..which makes me feel good...takes the stress off me.
After talking with a friend from work and sharing all her cloth diaper information with David we are 100% going the cloth diaper route. Not only for money reasons but waste reasons. Neither one of us have ever been into the type of recycling that sends materials to a plant..(pollution?) But we are def into reusing things we have around the house...milk jugs for watering pails..reusable grocery bags...reusing ziploc bags ...etc. SO, after some research on the computer it appears it will cost about 300-400$ to get started and yes it will be A LOT of extra work..but when Im determined to make something work it will. Here is one of the websites Ive used: http://www.fuzzibunz.com/

Current cravings- grapes, bananas, grape fruit, cheese, milk, soups, dark chocolate.
Things that make me gag: Thai Grill, Brooklyn Pizza, big meals.
