Lazy Me

December 14, 2009

Well, I have been a bit lazy about updating this lately. If it makes you feel better, I have also been really lazy about Facebook lately…..something Jeremiah would call a not so small miracle. So, anyway, we have been busy. Here are a few things we have been up to lately.

I began the cloth diapering journey with Judah. As someone who has always used disposables, there has been a learning curve for me. First of all, I got the diapers that adjust with the child throughout his/her diapering life. These are great, but it takes a while to find the right fit for your baby with the FuzziBunz. So, while I have been trying to find the right fit, I have been cleaning up leaks. I think I have now pretty much found the right fit. Also, cloth diapers need to be changed more often, especially if the baby is a heavy wetter. Judah is a heavy wetter at times. Sometimes he will soak that thing in 90 minutes. So, it is a lifestyle change but one I am willing to make for the sake of our budget, my child’s skin, and the environment.

We have also been doing the regular holiday things. Making cookies, peanut butter balls, Christmas shopping (only two more gifts to buy!), etc etc.

Plus, I have been crazy busy simply taking care of three children. Have I mentioned that lately? The fact that I was crazy enough to give birth to three beautiful babies!? They are all awesome and doing really well. I am trying to encourage Judah into a nap/bedtime schedule. He is getting very close. I have found all of my children do better on a schedule of some sort. My approach is a parent and child lead schedule. That way, I am not going crazy with a baby who naps at random, but the baby is not being forced to sleep when he/she doesn’t want to. So far, Judah’s morning nap is scheduled, of his own accord and it works out really well. He wakes up around 7am and is ready for a nap between 8:30-9am. Then he will sleep until about 11:15-11:30. Yep, he sleeps the whole time B is at school, which gives Arwyn and I lots of girl time together. We have lots of fun! Anyway, I will update more in detail later…..
