Why didn’t I think of this sooner
So just recently when Jude had a major blow out I grabbed one of our cheap cloth diapers and used it too clean things up. After the majority of the poo was cleaned up it only took one wipe to finish it off. Typically a big poo would take at least 5 wipes to clean…
Waking up to Hanna
So Tropical Storm Hanna was pretty uneventful. The biggest news at our house was that Joe had to go into work at 4am for the “Emergency Inclement Weather Schedule”. He said it was even less eventful than a regular Saturday at work. In the meantime Jude and I shared the bed after daddy left and…
Bath Time
Jude loves bath time. He loves being naked. He loves the warm water. And he smells so good afterward. We always sing songs while taking a bath, it’s just fun. We have a good routine down for giving him a bath but occasionally he gets to take a shower with either mommy or daddy… he’s…
15 Ways to Save Money for Moms

Diaper Addendum
I forgot to mention a few facts in my post yesterday about our cloth diaper experience. 1. We use disposable diapers a night. Primarily because I don’t have the mental capacity to change his cloth diaper in the middle of the night but also because I don’t like the idea of him sleeping 6 hours…
Diaper Doodie
I thought I should give a cloth diaper update since I spent so much time researching cloth diaper options prior to Jude’s birth. We have been using cloth since about 3 weeks after Jude was born. I ended up with a combination of prefolds and covers and a few all-in-one diapers. I thought I would…
Bottle and Breast
Jude had his first full bottle last night. Yesterday, I pumped 3oz. of milk and stored it in the refrigerator. And last night after our dinner and a small feeding from me I handed a drowsy baby over to dad for the continuation of his meal. Joe had a little bit of difficulty holding Jude…
Wisconsin for a Wedding
Over the weekend we went to Wisconsin for DJ and Zoya’s wedding. It was a busy yet fun-filled weekend with lots of food and friends. We arrived in Milwaukee on Thursday evening after a long day of travel. Jude did exceptionally well on the planes. In fact, people comment on how good he was and…
The Sleeping Lieb
During our trip to Wisconsin for DJ and Zoya’s wedding I was reminded of the day after our wedding…. Here is Joe sleeping in the hotel the day after our wedding…. Here is Joe sleeping in the hotel the day after DJ and Zoya’s wedding…. with one small addition!
6 Weeks and Growing
Today Jude had his 6 week follow-up appointment with our midwife. He passed his hearing tests! (First test woo hoo!) and he weighs 13lbs 4oz. (my chunky hunk!) Tomorrow we leave for DJ and Zoya’s wedding in Wisconsin. It will be Jude’s first major trip and first time on a plane. Hopefully everything will go…
The Olympics of Brisco County, Jr.
So yesterday, as most of you know, the Olympics started in Beijing, so Jessica and I turned on the opening ceremony on TV after the Simpsons was over. And watched all 4 hours of it. It was kinda neat, but also it was pretty long and got kinda boring after a while. Fortunately, I was…
