I am 23 years old, and expecting my second son, Christopher . My first born, Prestyn, will be 5yrs the day before our due date. However, I am having a caesarean, so Christopher should be here by April 30th.

My fiance, Gary, and I are in the process of buying our first home, and just in time for baby to get here! We are extremely happy! We'vebeen through a lot over the past 6 months house hunting. Let me tell you, it's a friggin nightmare!

I am very artistic and I have wonderful creative ideas and tips for those of you having baby showers. Need anything at all in that dept, just ask, I'd love to help. I make diaper cakes, centerpieces, favors, and all sorts of things. Im great at coming up with themes, and ways to decorate for themes that are hard to find.

They're called gDiapers. You can get them from diapers.com. You buy the kit first, which gives you the cloth diaper part - which is what's in that picture on my site. The inserts are flushable. I wasn't going to buy them, but a friend gave them to me for the shower plus a bunch of inserts - so we will definitely use them. We're actually going to use Nature Babycare diapers because they are biodegradable (but not flushable) - they are only $1 more per package than Huggies or Pampers. You can also get those at diapers.com - you can get any brand of diaper there and it's generally cheaper than in stores, and if you order enough at a time you get free shipping.
