Cloth Diapers

We're about 1 week in to our cloth diaper experiment. I'd heard lots of good things about them, mostly from my SIL, Melanie. Before Judah was born I had basically decided I wanted to use them, but Melanie very wisely told me that I should wait a few months, at least until I finished with residency. She definitely made the right call on that one - it would have been hard to do cloth diapers when he was still a pooping machine and I was working a lot. But I'm really enjoying them now. It's nice not worrying about running out or having to run to the store to get more. I'm washing them about every other day, though I'm getting a few more and will then have enough to wash every third day if I need to. We're still working the kinks out of the cloth diaper routine, but overall I think I really like them. One of my favorite things about them is how cute they are:

















(Isn't my rainbow pretty??)

And I love that there are no cartoon characters involved. The other big bonus, of course, is that we're not continuing to buy disposable diapers. And if we (hopefully) ever have any more kiddos, we'll save even more money....

Yay! Now where are pictures of Judah with a cute little cloth-diapered bum? Because if the diapers are cute and Judah is cute ... well then, we need to see them together :)

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
