isla, oh isla...
isla is very opinionated. she has her own way of letting you know what she wants or doesnt want. she can pretty much manipulate like a pro. well today she wants to be left alone. she wants to be held but not talked to. she wants to eat but dont pay attention to her. yesterday she sat in her bean bag by the slider door watching the birds in the backyard for a good hour happy and content as could...
theeisforerin said: AIOs are not the most budget friendly diaper style so that’s a little tricky. I do have a friend who tried & loved Kawaii, her review is here:
thanks. i think we are going to try the pockets diapers like kawaii or sunbaby they seem to be the cheapest with great reviews each. i might get a few of each to try them out. thanks im going to go to your friends blog now!

hey to all of my cloth diapering mamas...
so since isla is going to be in diapers for gosh knows how long…and with the new baby coming i am thinking that we need to invest in cloth diapering.
i have a few questions and concerns…
-we would stick to AIO’s - i need it to be simple for husband and grandmas to use.
-the diaper would have to fit isla who is 23 months though she is skinny i think she would need a higher...

my view this morning...
we cannot come up with...

R.I.P. jimmy, you were the best fish we’ve ever had.

worry? fear?
this next child that is in my belly is perfect. i know that. just like isla is perfect. she was made exactly right. and so is this next baby. i truly believe that.
so when someone asks “i dont want to get too personal and if i am feel free to not answer. but is there a chance of this baby having what isla has?”
i can look at them with a sparkle in my eye, a true smile on my face,...

little itty bitty baby kicks...
i cannot feel this baby as much as i felt isla. maybe a few reasons,
-i didnt loose all of my weight in between the two pregnancies so there some extra padding. (saw no point in working to loose weight only to gain it right back…call me lazy)
-also isla had really strong jerky movements. so i guess in womb they would feel quite a bit different if this baby has regular movements.
-maybe...
