And now I am attempting to not purchase more! My friend Kelsey has a few BG's that she hates... but I really like them :) Goodmama's are adorable... but I have tons! And these bumgenius diapers are sooo easy to put on, take off, etc... and I don't care if they are dragged through mud or pooped on! Plus, there are no snaps to hurt her little tummy with. She's a pretty sensitive baby.
I was at my neighbors house yesterday while my hubby helped her to move a few things (her husband is deployed) and she asked me lots of questions about CDing. In the end she's a formula feeding, not attached at all, very into disposie's mama. But at least she asked! The dark face that washed over her expression after I mentioned tossing her dipes in the washer was comicalh.
Anyway I am getting the mid-paycheck blues. Where I want to buy everything! From diaper pins all the way to new AE jeans (they are on sale, damnit!).
Ohhh I kicked the ice cream habit for good, YAY! maybe i can convince hubs into another diaper from the saved money ;) just kidding! I make it sound like he restricts me, but he doesn't at all :) But I DO have to look him in the face when he gets home, and if I spent too much on diapers... it makes it harder :)
Ok, must do chores.... must not buy diapers....

random mommy thoughts!
Quick thoughts before I work out:
I told hubby about the diaper buying and he just laughed at me *blushes*
I haven't received my bsrbs or my Der Auto GM yet, and it's killing me!!!
I traded my woven gaias gift for an EUC shiitake gm, so I am pretty psyched about that... what else?!
I had to mail a gm soaker, i mixed up them soakers in my last batch of sent dipes >< opps! till the matching soaker is received my Celebrity TT is sitting on the sidelines.
Tempy hasn't pooped in 48 hours. 24 is normal, 48 is mildly constipated. She doesn't seem to care!
I have to reserve cottages for my friends Thanksgiving vacation, darnit!
I NEED to sit down and do bills for this paycheck
Chris SHOULD promote in the next couple of months- he is 3rd on the darn list and 6-7 people are promoting!
My dog is a lazy bones
Dexter was great last night- the baby they picked for Harrison is adorable :D
House is on tonight! wee!
I want to start unswaddling Tempy at night *sighs* am scared!!!
my daughters citrus fizz is to die for:

I'm an (addicted) goodmama
Alrighty, in an effort to curb diaper spending- I am resurrecting my old blog. I was going to type "from the dead" but that is redundant.
Obviously it has been months since I last wrote- but I have a feeling that this blog will be used as retail-avoidance-therapy ;) Damn you PayPal for making it sooo easy to spend our money!
I could relate the past however many months- but I won't. It all comes out the same: I had my baby! There were tears, lots of blood- many months of no sleeping... but I have her, and she is now a healthy 5 month old darling :)
A quick rundown of my parenting style: breastfeeding, baby-wearing, cloth diapering (junkie), and mostly-attached parent. There are lots of in-betweens, we do what works for our family. I try to do what is best for my baby at all times, and sometimes I succeed :D
BABY PHOTO TIMEOUT:
My husband is in the mix here too, and sometimes you might even hear about him :D I love him dearly, and he is the best father for my daughter I could have asked for. This post is mainly to keep me from buying more diapers- and to hopefully expend my baby-talk energy. That way I can talk about the latest episode of Dexter to hubby, instead of my babies poop. Sounds good to me :)
That being said, I made a short video for Angela on how I put my babies goodmama on. I have *no* idea if I am doing it correctly, but it's how I get a great, cute fit! It took me a while to figure it out- but with the guidance of my fellow goodmama junkie Kelsey, I eventually got it down :) BSRB'S on the other hand? Meh! I think I do it right, but only Joyce would know.
Oh, and before I leave you with a parting video... let me express my deepest regret that I caved and purchased a diaper this morning. Goodmama TT Palpitations- the white one with orange/red/pink hearts all over it. It was only 15$ EUC.. so whatever ;) I <3 it (ironically!). We have tons of crap to do in the next few months- birthdays, balls, baby and puppy related. All of which are freakishly expensive no matter how many diapers I might want to take home :D
ONE MORE THING: the painters have arrived. My husband is in the military- we live on post... and people are constantly moving in/out. Whenever that happens they slap an unhealthy fresh coat of paint on the walls and call it clean (despite the cockroaches). WEEEELLLLLL, they are upstairs making noise, and it's driving me up a wall. First the movers on Thursday, and now the painters today. Probably the maintenance crew tomorrow, and the cleaners after that. In the end I just get another set of crappy neighbors to put up with, and scream at to shut the hell up through the wall. FANTASTIC.
Here ya go:

Baby, oh Baby!
Oh, I'm such a jackass! I sat here and watched 1.5 hours of baby stories... and nearly cried through the whole damn thing! Why is it that these things rarely moved me towards emotion at all, but now they bring on the waterworks like a bad roll in monopoly?
I am so very excited about the baby :) When I watch these shows it reminds me that eventually we will have a new family member, and they give me a feeling of completion. I think every woman is wired similarly, but differently.
Once you are pregnant, nothing can stop you from nurturing the little thing inside you (whether it was wanted or not). That is the similarity. Our bodies leak out nutrients to the little parasite inside our uterus, and our tit's start leaking out milk to feed them one they are outside. Mother Nature pre-programmed our bodies to go from MTV nightlives, to TLC baby cribs in nine months or less.
Our MINDS are what is different. Why not heart? Because to suggest the lack of need/want of a child means there is no heart? That is not only biased, but completely closed-minded. Our minds are what finally make the decision to spawn. Some women go through life feeling complete and full with a cat, empty refrigertor and healthy/random sex (I'm being serious). Some women need/want a partner and just that. Some need a dog, some need a garden. Some need a reptile, some need a bird. Some need a career, some need art. It really just depends!
My point is that my life already feels more full and content with this baby in me. And there are those that say a contended mind is a lazy one... and I say "Fuck You". I can understand that turmoil of the heart can lead to great art, but I will trade that in any day for a slice of happiness. Like I said, different wirings!
(note to reader, expect a rant on my disaproval of those that think their beliefs and ideas on life are better than others: a comparison to religion)
And the idea of our little baby is already making me so very thrilled :) I want to give this baby the very best of everything. The best of nutrition, the best of love, the best of joy, the best of safety, the best of controversy, the best of nature, the best of hard work, the best of hard life. I want the baby to be nurtured! I don't know how to explain it, but I want my child to understand open-mindedness, and love. I want them to understand unlucky predicaments, and appreciate how hard work pays off. I just want to wrap this baby in the dreams of my excited 20 year old youth.
So MAYBE the little bean won't have the most mature parents (not sure if that would have ever changed) but it will definitely have loving, creative, hopefuly and optimistic parents that just want their baby to grow into the ... most it can be! To fullfill it's personality! To be itself, fully and with complete confidence!
*sighs*
With that said, we are going to start in on the nursery VERY soon. Since s/he's going to be a Virgo (god forbid the baby be premature!), so I have decided on a very earthy room for it! I am not sure if animals are going to be included, but there are going to be clean lines and distinct modern colors. We are thinking a pale olive green, and brown for the ceiling. Maybe I will paint trees upside-down! I want to get a rug, and put that on the floor and get a neat cubby-hole type thing to put baby toys/clothes in :)
Chris demands the baby's first shoes be Vans ^^ Fine with me, as long as Chucks are the second pair.
I already decided on what type of diapers we are going to use! They are called gdiapers, www.gdiapers.coM. A tad more expensive, but well worth it! They use a great material, look awesome and best of all: greenfriendly! It takes 700 years for diapers to friggin decompose! So, these have a flushable liner- and that makes me happy ^^
Ok well, I NEED to go. Bathroom time! I have to pee so often, it's ridiculous!
