As my belly gets bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier I find myself less active and spending more time checking out things on the web.

I REALLY want to use cloth diapers on the new baby, but don't really know which ones to use. Who has the best fluff for newborns? I would like to start a Newborn Fluff Challenge for all those that make Newborn Cloth Diapers, whether its a well known cloth diaper company, WAHM, new cloth diaper company, etc.! Let me know who has the best! Leave me a comment! Hopefully, I can get some Newborn fluff to try and giveaway, wouldn't that be AWESOME?!?!

If you or your company makes Newborn Cloth Diapers and would like me to do a product review and giveaway, PLEASE contact me at ruralmamasandbox@hushmail.com

My baby girl is due February 14, 2011 and I fully expect to go full term or even over since I was 6 days late with my first daughter. I would like to have all items to review in by February 13th so please contact me asap! I also tend to have nice sized babies, my first daughter was 8 pounds 13 ounce when born, so I expect this baby girl to be about the same, if not bigger (she is SO low and heavy, lol).

Wish me luck on this Newborn Fluff Challenge, REALLY looking forward to being able to do this, but it is up to YOU to get me the FLUFF!

---

3/3/2011 UPDATE: Our beautiful baby girl was born February 16, 2011, she weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. I have a few Cloth Diapers for my Newborn Fluff Challenge, however I could use a bunch more! If you are a retailer, cloth diaper company owner, or Cloth Diaper WAHM please contact me! I NEED your cloth diapers for the Challenge! THANKS!

Have a wonderful night dear followers!

Good Luck Dear Followers!
Kelsey

Happy 2011 All! Boy am I doing a bad job of keeping up with my blog this year, lol! I'll try to work on that!

Today I woke up, stuck some Toaster Strudels in the toaster, looked out the kitchen window and saw this:

I made some of Dad's Yummy Chili again the other day and had some leftovers. I had never heard of Baked Chili before, but my Hubby's Mom wanted to try it out with my leftover Chili. We had a couple of pie crusts that weren't baked over the holidays so she used them as the crust... here is what you do:


I was delightfully surprised at how yummy this was! A+ in my book! The pie crust gives it an extra texture, which I loved the crunch! Good Luck and Hope you Enjoy!

On a totally different subject... I'm 34 weeks and 5 days along with this second baby girl. People always tell you that each pregnancy can be different, but I don't think I actually realized it was true until I was able to experience it for myself. This time around has been quiet different. My belly feels SO much lower than with my first, I've had bad back pain, but missed out on the lovely carpel tunnel that I had the first time around. Overall though I think that I've handled this second pregnancy much better than the first, probably because I was prepared for what was to come, knew what my body was going to go through, and wasn't plagued by the "what ifs". I only have about 5 more weeks to go, but if I had her tomorrow, I think I'd be ok with it. I'm ready, I'm done. I'm tired of feeling like I sleep with a bowling ball, tired of heartburn, and I'm overall done with sharing my body, I want it back to myself... now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the end result, but boy am I not a great pregnant person! There are some women that are born to have babies and love it, I on the other hand am NOT one of those women. I just keep reminding myself that its a GOOD think I'm a human and only have to be pregnant for 9 months, if could be worse, Elephants are pregnant for 22 months! Glad I'm not an Elephant, although sometimes I feel as big as one with this baby belly.

Was totally bummed the other day... I'm trying to get things ready for the new baby and decided to dig out my daughter's infant car seat, clean it up again and get it in the van. I had washed it down, placed it in a large garbage bag, sealed it, and put it in the basement thinking it would be okay until I needed it...NOT. I opened the bag, pulled out the car seat, began to take off the covering, and thousands of tiny foam balls fell all over the floor. A mouse had chewed through the bag and destroyed the foam support in the car seat. SO annoying! At first I wanted to try to contact the manufacturer of the car seat and see if it could be fixed. Then I thought about it and if we happen to be in an accident, I would feel much better having the baby in a car seat that hadn't had any repairs done to it and was brand new. I did some research and talked to some other Mom's on a couple Mommy groups I'm on online and decided to order a Safety 1st onBoard 35 Infant Car Seat. It should be here between the 14th and 20th, hopefully it makes it here before the baby does!

Thanks for reading dear followers!
