I'm finding time to be on the computer, but not time to type. I despise typing one handed, so if I have a baby on me (which would be 90% of my computer time) I can read stuff, but that's it. Right now she's sleeping in her bouncing seat two feet behind me and I'm hoping I'm not disturbing her with the sound of the typing. It seems every time I start a post, she stirs, even if she's in another room. Super hearing, perhaps? LOL
We did go to the new pediatrician the other day and all went well. The office staff was good, the dr. was good, basically we were pleased with everything. We'll be going back when Daisy is 2 months and Tabs will have her 5 year check up at the same time (yes, I know she's 6). Daisy was just shy of a pound more than her birth weight and also gained an inch. So she's almost 9 pounds and my cloth diapers start at 10 pounds. But since she's kind of short, the weight seems like more and they actually fit rather well. I can't start using them though as I'm waiting for my covers. My mom ordered them for me but they haven't arrived yet. As soon as they are here I can kiss those disposables goodbye! I dont' know how people keep up with the expense of them. It's driving me nuts that I have to go buy another pack today. And since when is 40 diapers considered a "jumbo" pack? What a freakin' rip off. I can't wait to just be able to never worry about running out of diapers and just do a load of laundry.
I still haven't completed adjusted to a new routine yet. I need to figure out how to fit everything in. Chris has been home more than at work, and I'm still not accomplishing all I'd like. My list isn't exactly long, but it's stuff I either need or want to do on a fairly daily basis. There's lessons, scrapbooking, cleaning, cooking, playing a game with Tabitha, and also making sure Chris gets down time too so that he isn't working all day and then coming home and taking care of two kids until bed time. Some days that's okay, but not every day. It's just a matter of finding a balance, but I'm sure we, as a family, can do it. My Tabitha has been positively fabulous about sometimes having to take a back seat to the baby's needs. I made sure to tell her how much I appreciate her understanding and to let her know how wonderful she's been.

I am glad to hear that all is well with your new daughter. I am an old family friend of Chris and Steve's. I have a four month old daughter named Genevieve. I use disposable diapers and started purchasing a box a month when I was four months pregnant. We also bought them at Sam's Club so each box had about 200 in it for $30. We also bought all natural wipes and have enough to last a year. Good luck with getting more sleep in the future.
