A Moms gotta do, what a Moms gotta do.

Last weekend we had a full day at church. Nathan is really used to going with us everywhere. And I thought I had gotten good about planning ahead for the day, and loading our diaper bag with extras of everything we need.
We decided on a whim to go out to dinner. Alright, I thought, knowing that I had extra baby food in our diaper bag. I felt confidently prepared.
Then at dinner Nathan began to do his all knowing grunt. His face turned red and he started concentrating on filling his diaper the best that he could. After seeing this I realized that I had used all of the cloth diapers that I had packed for the day. Great, now what are we going to do.
Then in a moment of brilliance, I found one left over newborn size diaper in the bottom of the diaper bag. So I plopped the huge turd that Nathan deposited in his diaper into the toilet. Then I put the newborn diaper inside the dirty cloth diaper like a liner and I put it back on him. Granted this only had to last up a short time before we got home.
I told Daniel and our friend of my ingenuity when I returned to the table. "This will end up on the blog, won't it?" said Daniel. Yes, yes it will.

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
