Melanie ~ look at me with starry eyes...

Oh, Paxton has grown enough that he finally fits in all his medium fuzzibunz diapers. I am a fan of prefolds and covers, but now that he fits these, I'm kind of a fan of them.. It's just so easy, quick stuff of the liner, no adjusting or rolling of the prefold, nothing. Hmmm. Prefolds and covers are still the economical way of cloth diapering. Maybe once he fits all my larger covers, I'll be excited about prefolds again.


Next step? Cloth diapering for night time. Now that I'm working in a cloth diaper store, I'm feeling all inspired to try some hemp/fleece prefolds.

My nursing bras are on their way! I had ordered a way too small size by accident, we finally shipped them back last week and now they are shipping back. I'd recommended breakoutbras.com to anyone needing nursing (or regular) bras. Very happy with them, bought a black one and a leopard print one, just for fun. I have gigantic boobs too, so harder to find bras.

Prefolds are so much easier to use on Paxton now, which is excellent. I can do the twist fold, which is fast and easy and his covers fit him now. He has grown out of a couple of his AIOs, but that's okay. The reason I did cloth diapers was for money savings, so I'm happy to be actually using more of them! I thought I'd use them from birth and then I got this teeny little baby who just didn't fit them. I'm also happy that he's having way more yellow poops these days, and less green ones. Maybe the dairy was the key.

He's laying pretty happy on the floor. I think he's awesome. I put him on the floor in the hallway, downstairs so he could lay there and watch me do laundry and you'd think I'd put him in an amusement park. He was so content and happy, probably because it was new and he could see into the playroom which is bright and colourful.

Trying to upload a short video to facebook, it says it will take 4083 hours and 42 minutes. I'm not sure I'm that patient. :P

I don't think I mentioned that Paxton has teeth showing under the gums. Tim and I noticed them a few weeks ago, but figured he was too young. Then vitainpalus saw them too! They aren't cutting through, but they are definitely visible and he has bumps on his gums. Please wait a year for teething, thank you very much!!

Have a chicken out, will roast it tonight and make soup tomorrow. Things are good.

Happy Mother's day to all the moms on my list, the stepmoms, the women who have stepped in to be mother figures to people, to the preggos on my list, and extra love to the women who are still wanting to be moms but it hasn't happened yet. Even more love to those of you who have lost your moms, or don't have a mom in your life for whatever reason.

Tim succeeded in making me cry this morning, he's just too sweet to me. Yesterday Reagan gave me a card and in it she wrote "thank you for reading to me", which I thought was just awesome. There was also a gift card to my favourite used bookstore, which makes me happy.

Today there were tulips sitting on the kitchen table, and a card from the unborn baby, which almost made me cry and then a card from Tim thanking me for being a good stepmom and talking about our baby, which really made me cry. He also got me a Home Depot gift card so I can go and pick out flowers for our garden. These are the kinds of gifts that make me very happy.

We both slept in this morning, which was nice. Tim's going to put up the crib today, which I'm excited about. I ordered some diaper covers from blueberrydiapers.com, they have a sale today, buy one get one for free. I wanted to buy some Thirsties duo covers first, but these were a pretty good sale, and have good reviews.

Miss Reagan today, but in her card to her mom that we made, she wrote "Thank you for taking the day off to spend it with me", and I know that having a full day with her mom means so much to her, and I'm happy she's spending it with her mom. I'm glad summer is almost here and they can have some full days together, it has to be hard to just see each other after school 4 days a week and that's it. I can see Reagan craves time with her mom.


I think Tim and I might go to IHOP. Hahah, he suggested it his half sleep state, but I've been craving breakfast food ever since. We both need to call our moms first!
