In San Diego. Recovering. I was exhausted last week and flying here on Thurs night, while easy, set me back even more in the sleep dept. OUr plane was 1/2 an hour late. We got to Adam's parent's place near midnight and of course the grandparents and the great grandma had to have their snuggle time. I let them do that while I was unpacking, then nursed and tried to sleep. But that put me at near 2am and then we were up at 6.30 to go get breakfast before Comic Con.

Comic Con. Really not so much about comics. It's more a huge tv and movie promotion. But it's still fun. I think I handled it well: nursed and carried B in a sling. He did well. I was so tired by the end of the day that I probably would've burst into tears if something had gone wrong.

Other notes:
Cloth diapers rule. Using disposables this weekend confirms it. They ain't got nothin' on cloth. We figured why bring cloth and have to do laundry twice in 4 days and we had a stack of disposables that the NICU gave us, so why not use those up.... Well, we should've done the laundry. B is too big for the premis dipes (in length) and too small for the other one the NICU gave us. So my inlaws had to run out and by a third size. Plus, disposables just don't contain the wet like cloth do. My love of cloth diapering has been cemented.

I'm also nervous about going to back to work regularly. Because of the breastfeeding thing. It's exhausting. And when B is in the sling all the time he doesn't eat as much, which means he is STARVING at night time and it's also not so good for the steady weight gain. But I can't quit my job, so.... we'll have to figure it out.

Can I just say how proud I am that you're using cloth diapers? I try to get all my friends with babies to use them, and the (excuse this) poo poo-ed the idea.

Oh my gosh, they are awesome! And there are so many choices that there is a system that will work for any one! How are you so knowledgeable about baby stuff? And why don't you move near me and be our master babysitter? :)

Oh I and I forgot to mention another bonus of cloth diapering! Squishy cute cloth butt! Bennett is a boney little lad so I doubly miss the cloth backside.
