It's a go!

The BGDs (Bum Genious diapers) are a hit! :) I plan to wash the first load of them later today after the dogs' laundry is done (and hopefully hasn't clogged the wash machine with puppy hair). They fit her well and she looks super cute in them. :) Still haven't gotten a picture, sorry, but I will work on that today. When I thought of it last, she was wearing a white one which looks like a regular diaper. I'll have to get one of the cuter colors for the blog. The great thing is that they keep the moisture away from her skin so well that sometimes it's actually difficult to tell if she's wet or not unless you take it off and feel if it's heavy or not. So I'd say they're a hit! We're going to go with it...which is good b/c they are a rather expensive initial investment but totally worth it. I wish we would have started using them sooner...but her little hiney wasn't quite big enough yet (IMO).

Since this weekend, we've been having Morgan take either her second last or last feeding before bedtime from a bottle and Adam. To get there, I pump whatever I have and then he gives it to her. I was worried b/c every time I pump for a full feeding, there's only about 2 oz (max) that comes out and he's able to give her. I felt like this wasn't nearly enough and that she surely was getting much more from me from regular nursing. So what we've been doing is having me pump as much as I can (which hasn't been for long enough periods, I'm finding, and fixing) and then let her nurse a little afterwards to make sure it's not just my body's reaction to pumping vs. Morgan. It's amazing that it's such a difference. I definitely feel like a cow when I'm pumping but it's for a greater good. Mooing makes me feel better. :) JK.

I FINALLY found a dress that doesn't make me look terrible with the poochy belly for Morgan's baptism. Guess where I found it? In my own closet! Adam was pretty thrilled (he's kinda tight with $$ sometimes :-P ) but then I told him that I need a new pair of black boots so I think Morgan and I might head to the Muscatine "Mall" later today to check out the selection at Younkers (which is usually pretty good on short notice). Then we're going to walk the mall since it's icky weather outside and I don't feel like trying out the Y with a stroller. Adios! Baby's hungry...again. :)
