This week I am doing baby quotes. Munchkin is 6 weeks today!!!!

Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.

My friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.

When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get married, love is earned.

What the…..

So today was hot. Very hot. Infact this hot:

I took Princess to school and even dressed her in clothes that were pretty cool. I was hoping that the kids would not be outside to play for the hottest part of the day.

Well, when I get there I am telling her teacher how hot it is. She responded with “it must be the heat” I think well no shit! I am sure I have a stunned look on my face. She then says to me

“oh, you don’t know?”

What the…. Is this a trick question???

Princess tossed up het snack at school today. Yes, she puked. I got NO phone call on either phone. Not the home. Not the cell. So I try to figure out what the cause could be.

They ate a snack and then went out and played. I’m sure that’s the cause. I know my daughter. She has done this type of thing before.

Shouldn’t I have at least got a phone call? I would have never known if I met her in the middle somewhere and just signed her out. Perhaps it’s because she is at a private school? Maybe they knew it was from her running around after she ate? I’m not to sure.

On top of all the fuss, I left her one and only lunch box at school!!!! Total bummer but we can get it tomorrow or she can use her brothers.

Works for Me Wednesday – Nursing Bra

Welcome to Works For Me Wednesday hosted by We Are That Family. I love sharing in this as well as looking at what everyone else shares. I think it is great.

This week I am sharing what I do for a nursing bra at night and while I am around the house. I have tried the sports bras at Motherhood and it does NOT work for me. This is a bit easier and it gives a bit of support as well as holds those oh so wonderful nursing pads.

I buy a 3 Pack of Strappy Sports Bras! Simple as that. Notice I said strappy. I would not consider myself the biggest busted person that I know but I do not lack in that area. They offer enough support for lounging around the house and keep everything from moving to much. I would NOT go running wearing these, walking sure. It works for around the house. They are comfortable and totally budget friendly! 3 are under $10!!!!

So that is what works for me!!!!!

Disposable Diapers: My Review

I would love to use cloth diapers. Really, I would. I loathe laundry though. I can not stand to do laundry. I also live in a condo so to hang them out to dry would not meet with the HOA rules. It just doesn’t for for ME! I am not referring to others, it is just not for me.

I have tried lots of disposable diapers with the 3 kids. This is my personal review and opinion.

Luvs

I tried Luvs with Princess and Prince and they both broke out in a horrid diaper rash. Princess loved them because they had Blue on them. They are super cute and they worked great but for us they cause diaper rash.

Huggies
Just did not work for the first two as newborns so I left it at that. This time around I have tried the Pure & Natural diapers. I really like these. They are VERY soft and do the job. They actually feel like just a cloth diaper. They are great. I have noticed that their sizing is a bit different then the other brands I have had around the house. They seem to run smaller. So I have had to move the Munchkin into a size 1 in this brand before needing to do so in others.

Huggies also has worked very well for Prince when he has an upset tummy. His upset tummy issues usually bring on a crazy rash and I have used Huggies Supreme and it cleared up. They would keep him drier by pulling the wetness away from him. I also used my Lanolin Wipes and it cleared right up. I am not sure which worked or if they worked combined.

Pampers

They do a great job! Hold a lot of mess and keep the kiddos dry. This is the diaper I will usually buy if I have a coupon. I really have no complaints. They work at night rather well. The Cruisers are great too! I really like them over all.

Also Pampers Swaddlers which go from Newborn size to size 2 I believe have this little line in them when they are wet. I never noticed it before with the other kiddos but I noticed this time!!!

Parents Choice

They do not have a website. They are Wal-Mart brand diapers. I love them!!! They remind be a lot of Pampers Baby Dry. They are no frills. Just a diaper. They have only leaked as the kids get older. By older, I mean OVER 2!!!

Mom to Mom

I like these diapers. They work. I had no issues but they are stiff. Also, in the middle where there is a crease is REALLY stiff. The crease stays there it really doesn’t go away and form to the body as other diapers do. It doesn’t seem to comfortable.

Overall for me I buy Parents Choice unless I have a coupon for a name brand. I love how basic they are. They work and most of all they save money!!!
