Home = gratitude

[theatokos]

I am home! I'm all set up for a marathon nurse. The cats are getting some love from Adam. B is guzzling.

I am grateful for:

+Cloth diapers!! Oh, I have the cloth love big time. Normally, we change B's clothes twice a day: in the morning time - changing him out of his sleep dress thing because he usually has his antibiotics all over the front of it - and before bed - we put him in that sleep dress thing, makes nighttime changes faster. But with disposable diapers we were changing him upwards of 4 times a day, they leaked so much. GAH.

+Squishy cloth diaper butt

+Soy chai

+Benn is at least 7.5 pounds!! I weighed myself and then again with B. YAY for growing babies!

+My quiet comfy home

+Vegetables - San Diego strangely does not have a load of vegetarian options, and Adam's family eats hardly any

+Magazines. I love periodicals. Four came in the mail for me: Bust, The Economist, Mothering, and Yoga Journal

+Benn is a master traveler

+Adam is incredible parenting partner

isnt it funny how people assume tthat using sposies whhile away must be so nice?! when we were traveling i hated every minute in those sposies and gave every last one i ahad left over away. my neighbor asked if i wouldnt keep them for nights or going out or something.. . NO WAY! give me my cloth!

Glad you made it back ... hope to see you again sooN!

Cloth = love. Big time. Until the back to back comparison, I wouldn't have thought it true, but cloth contains the biggest pee and the messiest poop. Benn can sleep for 5 hours without needing a change or leaking on the bed, whereas I am not exaggerating when I say we changed Benn four times a day. Amazing.

If you know any one who needs premie sized disposables.... send them my way! I'll give them a bunch for free.
