On my mind: Diapers and Vegetables

I think I've come to the conclusion that I should not do blueberries or strawberries this year. With all the yard work we have to do, I don't know if it would be sensible to add something I may not even get to enjoy. Husband has accepted a job and we may be moving. He accepted this job over a year ago and we are just waiting on the call for when and where to go. I hope they keep him here, but with no guarantee, I may not even be here to enjoy this year's garden. I think once March gets here and it's a little bit warmer, we'll be spending tons of time outside clearing our chain link fence and cutting down dead trees and weed trees. We also have to get the garden spot ready. I can't wait to eat the first tomato.

As for diapers, I have a lot of diaper covers knit up for a newborn (about 4 in size newborn and small), but I only have 12 actual diapers so far, and they are prefolds. I really want some fitteds and hope I find time to make about 12. I can't wait to have this baby. I feel like I am so far from ready though. We did get the crib and the dresser. Husband's parents helped us out with that, thank goodness. This new house is eating all our money. Our most recent project (but still not finished) is re grouting my bathroom. We have all the prep done and half the grout work done. It is looking wonderful. We were trying to put this off until all the unpacking was done, but a tile fell. In fact, it fell on the boy. No injuries though, just surprised him. We'll my half-caff coffee is now empty and I must get back to working. I think I'll finish cleaning the kitchen, unpack a few boxes, declutter a little (focusing on the dining room) and hopefully a little vacuuming.
