My First Diaper Cake

Before addtional deco addedAfter deco added


It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to make. I was shocked that people would pay as much as they do at Quited Bear.

Here is the break down

White Cloud diapers (can't find anymore where bought out someone must have returned them at walmart) I got a pk for just .10 wow
then I bought a pk of 42 diapers for $5.00 (didn't use all of them and gave the remaining ones to sis)
Ribbon $5.00 (still have a lot more left over)
Blinks's $2.00 (for two)
Giraffe Tupperware $1.00
small elephant book $ 1.00
a bottle .97
baby shampoo $2.00
baby spoons $1.00 (f0r two)
additional deco probably adds up to be about .50

Making my diaper cake total .....$18.57

I think you could do it even cheaper than that with buying cheaper ribbon or making two layers and not three. I think you could get away with making this out of only one pk of diapers. I was just so lucky how cheap I got the white clouds for. The best part is my sister in law loves white cloud diapers and was so upset that it went out of business. It was prefect because the diapers had jungle an mails on it. Which was both her shower theme and nursery theme so the cake made a great center piece.

Apron Project

I am so excited about this project I can hardly wait to get started. I just got done looking at so many different ideas I think I may end up making more than one!! I guess this will be a good thing come birthdays showers or Christmas gifts. But I might get greedy and keep them all to myself. But every cook wants and needs more than one anyways right?

I have found sites that tell you step by step how to make them. I am currently putting them on here. You can make Aprons out of anything old dresses, old Levis and pillow cases. I think i want to try a little of each!!!

Honestly it is going to coast me a lot less making my own then going to flirty aprons in the mall and buying one. I have thought about buying patterns much like this or just free handing it or doing what I did for my sister. I bought and apron body for $5 at Walmart and bought some material and rick rack and added my own details. I recovered the pocket in a patter en material made a ruffle and the top and bottom with the same material then accented it all with Rik rack So not the best picture but I hope you get the idea. She choose out the color,and the material on the bottom. There are a few things that I might do different to mine. Like I would choose a red body and I would shorten the length. I am thinking big floral and polka dotes. Then ribbon to hold the neck and tie the back.
I am also going to add embellishments much like this super cute flower as shown up above and the sheer ruffle on the bottom.
(I can get over how much this one looks like a dress.) Anyway check out all the cool sites I found. Maybe you'll want to make one too.

Up Date

So after a being a week and two days late aunt flow made her daybew finally. So I figured that was a good thing. Now I can move on from anything thoughts that the prego test where a false neg. But for the most part after so many test you just know that there isn't a way they all could have a false neg. So now we are start to plan better lol.
So as you all know we have two boys. We loved them to death and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. But next baby we hope to have planned and part of the planning is doing everything we can to be favorable for conceiving a girl. This includes many things mostly timing, possioning of intercourse and going on the same diet my mom went on to conceive me. I am confident it will work.
I am going to re-read a book lent to me by my sister in Law about choosing the sex of your baby. This is the same book she used almost 9m ago now (as she will be having her baby soon) when she was trying to conceive a boy. I bet you can''t guess what she is having? lol
I am really excited to see if it works. But if it doesn't no worries. I welcome any child into my life that god trust me with. Boy or Girl!
I think when you are planning to have a child you should plan for either way. You can not have an unhealthy attitude ab0ut it and if you do I wouldn't suggest following what this book or any book says.
I will keep everyone but dated on when we actually start trying. Right now is when I need to start pin pointing my day of ovulation better and chart it. I am going to get a couple of months worth of that. Because like I said it's all about timing.
Anyway for right now I am glad that I am not prego thanks to natures natural way of telling me! :)

All test show neg.

So super confused! No period yet. Day 3 after missed period. I have taken several test that turn up negative. I think I just need to stop worrying it could be nothing but stress and worrying about if I am prego that has made me miss so much. I think the most confusing part is having symptoms that started about two weeks ago. I think that I have mentioned them before. But just in case i didn't here they are again lol:

Light Headed
Head Aches
Lower Back pain
nausea
tender/ sore boobies
period like cramping
moody
constipation
Late Period
And just a feeling/thinking I was with out any doubt.
My parents feeling I was without saying something until I played an April fools joke that I was lol (Both probably don't count)


That about sums it up. You have to realize that I am regular. So this is so strange for me to be three days late. And strange to think that it could be a false neg. when with both my kids they showed poss. right away. I guess it could still happen. Just hard to believe after I have taken so many test. I figure it I don't have it by Friday (that would make me a week late) I will test again. But I might just go straight to the doctors for a blood test. I feel like I have wasted so much money on stupid test and a blood test I would know for sure. So we will see. Keep reading for updates for now I guess. Between now and then I am going to try not to think about it and stress about it then my period will probably come.
