Dear sunbaby diapers

I would like my diapers now.  I ordered almost a month ago, I bought a bunch of diapers from you, my tracking number doesnt work, and I am spending $30 bucks a week on disposables!!!  Please get to me very very soon, like today :)I would love that...Im all ready, I have two of them I got off of ebay, but two is one per baby per day and I need the other 30!  I have my wet bag, my laundry soap, my hemp inserts, my liners and everything...but one thing is missing...well 30 things are missing...please come soon.

Thanks

4 MONTHS ♥

Oh wow what a day!My baby girls are 4 months old!  It is so crazy how big they are now!!  We had their 4 month doctors appointment yesterday...that was all good and all bad at the same time!!  They are both healthy as can be with no sign of stopping :)  Hitting every milestone like little pros!!  He checked out Rylie's head (as I have been very worried about it) but said that compared to the photos (that i brought in, like 10 of them) her head looks "so much better"  He said he would have recommended us to see a specialist had her head looked like it did in the "before" photos, but he said with how it is now there is no need for "further worry"  He gave us the go ahead on solids, but they dont seem ready as everything you put in their mouths they spit back at you!  So we are waiting another month, and I am not starting with rice cereal.   I have a solids post in the making.  Anyway, he said they are perfectly healthy and he cant believe how good they are doing...

Then there was the shots.  4 month shots are SOOOOOOOOO soooooo sooooooo much worse than 2 month shots.  Rylie cried for 5 minutes and fell asleep but Laramie on the other hand, she screamed for 30 minutes in pain and I got so upset from it that i cried too, nurses in the hospital must have though I had postpartum depression rocking my screaming baby while crying.  One nurse came over to me and asked if I was okay and Nick said "shots, they upset mommy more than the babies"  she kindly told me if i needed anything i could ask her.  Laramie finally fell asleep and we left (TRAUMATIC!!)  And now the fun part :)

This little girl makes us so happy!!  She smiles and giggles and even knows her name!!  She sat on her own the other day, completely unassisted for a long 6 seconds!!!! She is my Rylie Bug and I love her!

Laramie

My baby girl.  She makes the cutest faces and rolls all over the place!!  She flipped over on the table at the doctors office and startled her doctor!!  hehe  Shes the light of our lives (along with Rylie of course)

I can not believe that my babies are 4 months old...they are 18 WEEKS!!! ugh where did my teeny tiny buggars go?

Birthdays and flat heads...

This post started on the 2nd, but i finished it today :)

So a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my husband Nick!!!  He turns the big 21 today!!  We can both now officially rent a car and buy a handgun!!  I know, goofy things to be excited about, but we are!!  So tonight we are headed to our favorite Mexican restaurant (In Missouri)  El Jamidor.

In other news, I have been silently (Nick would disagree) freaking out over Rylie's worsening flat spot.  Frankly, I am terrified.  Her flat spot is on the left side of her head, and is causing her head shape to become distorted.  I posted yesterday on a few different groups on BBC and got a lot of helpful information.

Now day 12

So i made a thingy yes a thingy to compare her head and WOW  photos speak louder than words...

Holy Tornado...Almost

So I am completely terrified of this weather here in Missouri. Im not sure how to deal with these storms, or how seriously to take them.  Well, last night I took it very seriously.  All day yesterday they were saying that a bad storm was coming and to get prepared.  The storm was producing tornadoes and BASEBALL sized hail!  So we live in a mobile home.  Yeah think what you want but were renters and its actually very nice :)  Anywho.  So we live in a mobile and im not sure if you have ever read the "What to do if a tornado warning has been issued" handbook, but apparently it reads as follows:

In a Mobile Home

Leave your mobile home immediately and take shelter elsewhere.

Thats literally all it says.  REALLY???!!!!  That means you have no chance if you're in a mobile home!! haha.  So i emailed our landlords (who literally live a football field away from us)  And he said we could come hunker down in his basement if the storm got bad.

I watched the weather all day and by 10:30pm I has a bag packed the girls in their car seats and was ready to head to the neighbors house...by this point my husband was thuroughly ticked off at my "freaking out over nothing" and a tornado watch was in effect.

By 11 I had emailed my landlord telling him we were headed on over and he turned on his porch light for us :)  We grabbed the dogs and the kids and ran up the hill...Not 2 minutes after we got there the tornado sirens started blairing and we headed into the basement.

We got hit HARD by this storm...thankfully there wasn't a tornado near us but there were 60+ mph winds heavy rain, crazy lightning and just overall bad.  Needless to say Nick wasn't very happy that we went over there for "nothing" and that he could have been asleep.  But I am happy to know that had something devastating happened my family would have been safe.  All this means to me is that we need a basement!!  BAD! HaHa.  Anyway, were all safe and we missed the almost tornado :)

DISCLAIMER:  Don't mind me blabbing in the videos...i have a tendency to do so, and I always sound weird...

And to brighten this post and your day (as it did mine)  here is Rylie...squealing hehe

And Laramie rolling over

Cloth Diapers!!!!

So About a month ago I decided that I wanted to cloth diaper my daughters.  Well, now that we got our tax return....I bought them!!  I bought 30 cloth diapers!!  I am literally jumping for joy inside my self!!  I still need to order a wet bag and some more inserts for at night, maybe a sprayer...but im not sure what I will need until I try it out!!!!  I know this is a quick update, and no one reads it anyway, but IM EXCITED

Cloth Diapering

So I am....excited to say the least.  I have made the decision to cloth diaper my now 3 and a half month old girlies!  I am very excited about my decision, as is my husband (mainly for the money savings)  I have also decided to go with Sun Baby diapers where I can actually afford the amount that I need!!  Sun Baby found here are what people of the CD world call "pocket" diapers.  They have a removable insert that goes between the outer "cover" of the diaper and a fleece lining that goes against baby's skin.  I ordered 20 diapers with 40 inserts (makes it easy to use for overnight because you can double up!)  Honestly, I am so excited I could squeal!!  I will update once they come!!!
