My mind+ 11p+ working husband= an extremely long and boring post about my thoughts.
• It's crazy how becoming a mom can change the way you look at people, life, and religion.
• after I gave birth I became less aware of my body and have gained more weight now then I did when I was pregnant. Which is why I'm starting my new exercise program tomorrow!!
• Everytime Ryan works night shift I cry. Being home alone with my son at night makes me think about every thing that could possibly go wrong. (robbery, murder, rape, fire, floods, tornado, hurricane, choking to death, deadly illnesses, ect.-yep my mind even goes to the impossible.)
• Because of Ryan working night shifts, it makes me appreciate and love him even more.
• We will be in Texas next week at this time and I'm sooo excited!!
• I would really like to go get my cosmetology degree and have a part time job but I dont know where/how to start!
• Pinterest is becoming a bad habit at 1am
• My cat is evil. I forgot why I hated cats, now I remember! This kitten won't stopB biting or clawing my son, I'm at a loss of what to do with it!
• The doctors may have finally figured out why I've had horrible migraines! I'm excited to be back to my happy healthy self and be a better mother to my boy!
• My sleeping habits are out of whack! I slept for 36hours after an ER trip the other day, ever since then I've been completely exhausted! Hopefully this goes back to normal along with everything else!
• I have an amazing husband who has stood by my side through everything! I am so lucky to have him in my life. Im not sure how I got so lucky with all of the wrong decisions that I have made.
• The Drama some people cause is out-of-control. Talking bad about a person 4 years later is really just getting pathetic. Get over it, the rest of us did! -right after it happened.
• My husband work schedule is completely ridiculous! I miss him. I know, i know, it could be worse, but 12 hour shifts suck!!
Hope you enjoyed ;)

A Lil' bit about a lil' boy.
A lil' bit about a lil' boy.
March 24, 2012 this handsome boy was born at 5:17p.
He sleeps on his tummy and likes the blanket over his head.
He gets way excited when he sees his daddy.
He loves water.
He refuses to crawl.
He will roll to places he needs to go.
His favorite position is to stand, he has been doing it since birth.
He loves being outside.
He is almost always happy.
He loves being around people.
If you touch his legs anywhere above the knee he laughs.
His back is the most ticklish spot on his body.
He can find his toes as long as they're not covered.
When you say 'bless you' after he sneezes he laughs.
When he knows he is in trouble he wont look at you.
He cries when you say "moo" or if you growl at him.
He has the most pathetic cry ever, it is more like a whimper.
He loves his cat and his dogs.
He hates all food except for fruit.
He LOVES lemons.
He loves cartoons, especially The Lorax.
He is the BEST sleeper.
He refuses to hold still during a diaper change.
He LOVES music.
We get told he looks like me,
And he acts a lot like me too.
He loves his sunglasses.
He has the cutest pout.
And he is a momma's boy!

Cloth Diaper Stash
Cloth diapering
My little boy is now a week over 7 months old. We have cloth diapered days here and there equaling up to be about a week, that's right- I suck at cloth diapering. I have an excuse however, when Xander was born we didn't know that we would be receiving a case of diapers once a month for a year from the hospital. 1 case was enough to last a month, so we haven't needed to use our cloth diapers.Well just a couple of months ago we found out that we needed to go into the hospital and pick up the rest of our diaper cases(8cases) because the hospital is being sued for giving out the diapers. So we picked up all 8 cases in different sizes, and brought them home and then heard one of our friends went shopping for diapers and got her diapers stolen right out of her cart after she bought them! So I told Ryan, that I wanted to exclusively cloth diaper and that I was going to give this friend our cases of diapers we got from the hospital. So now I don't have the excuse of using disposable diapers and I have to cloth diaper!
My cloth diaper stash-
BumGenius 4.0 one size cloth diapers. 6
Bonnibuns All in one Rapid Dry. 4
BumCheeks one size minky nappies. 3
Blueberry Snaps Diaper cover. 3
Doopsy One-size diaper. 1.
Accessories-
Prefolds ,12 infant, 12 regular, 12 premium
BumGenius inserts, 1 newborn and 1 one-size/diaper
Fuzzibunz inserts, 2 minky/diaper
Gdiaper Bigodegradable inserts, 80.
Planet Wise wet bag, Large
Blueberry Wet Bag, small
Blueberry FLO Diaper Sprayer
BumGenius is by far my favorite out of all of my cloth diapers, and I'm glad that I have 6 of them. When I grab a cloth Diaper, bumGenius is the one I will grab over any of them. I haven't had a leak or a blow out yet, they have been through my washer and dryer multiple times and are still in great shape, I do wish there colors were brighter, but I absolutely love them! When X got a bad diaper rash a few months ago I put him in BumGenius to keep him dry and happy and his diaper rash cleared up almost instantly! I was very impressed and still wish that from that moment I would have kept him in his cloth diapers!
All-in-one diapers are what I mostly have(BumGenius, Fuzzibunz, Bonnibuns, and BumCheeks) These are very simple diapers, you stuff them with the insert, put them on your baby, then when you change it and it's just wet you take it off shake out the insert into the wet bag and then throw the rest in your wet bag. When its dirty, you take it off, take it into the bathroom use the diaper sprayer to spray off the poo into the toilet, flush it then throw the diaper into your wet bag. When the wet bag is full you unzip it throw it in the wash and thats it. simple.
Fuzzibunz are the ones I bought thinking they would get me to LOVE cloth diapering. But, I don't like them. Its not that they suck either, because I haven't had a leak or a problem with them, but changing the size with the elastics is a pain with a son who doesn't stop growing. You have to change 6 parts in the elastics and then put it back, test it to make sure it fits and if it doesn't then re-do it all, then stuff it.
However, today we are exclusively cloth Diapering with Fuzzibunz, because I am determined to LOVE them. Especially now where X isn't gaining a ton of weight quickly and he is staying the same weight and size for longer periods of times. I really do like the looks of these diapers, they're very bright and slim, they look like he would be wearing a normal disposable, but they're so much cuter!
Pictured is X in a Fuzzibunz and the rest of my Fuzzibunz stash, the top two and the one he is wearing are double stuffed with minky inserts so they look fluffy the rest have just one minky insert!
GDiapers are the closest to a disposable diaper that you can get. The inserts are disposable and biodegradable, I use these when we go out and when X is at grandmas or a babysitters because of how easy they are. I have 6 small so when we go out I stuff each of them with a disposable and when I change the diapers I throw out the insert put the cover in the diaper bag and then pull another already-stuffed diaper out and put it on him and go. They're quick and easy.
BumCheeks One Size Minky Nappies. I HATE them. If you go to long to change them(like 2hours) they soak completely through the cover and everything! Especially where by little boy is a heavy wetter! I would never use these out or at night, these would be an "all my other cloths diapers are being washed and I have no choice" diaper! On the plus side, they are very very soft!
Bonnibuns I haven't used yet, but I am excited to use them! They are cute! The bonnibuns look just like the BumGenius and I'm hoping they are just like them. X just barely grew into them!
The blueberry Flip Covers are also too big for X, so we will have to wait on those also.
Doopsy Are just like Bonnibuns and BumGenius, I only have one of them but I like it and if I had to use them all the time I would (:
