WARNING--that does not stop in infancy. Don't put your mouth on anything that is going along too well because it will end up biting you in the butt. Good to know you are doing well and I know you are so looking forward to your beach trip. We think of you often and share your story a lot with folks.

Have you turned your ...A tip for diaper stripping..<br />Have you turned your hot water heater up? It sucks because it makes ALL the other faucets in your house also super freakin' hot (somehow I always forget this when I'm washing dishes, my hands, etc--although I never forget when washing my baby:)). Before we(my husband)turned up the hot water heater we had problems with our diapers losing their absorbency. Since we've done that I haven't had to strip them in probably 4 months. You've probably already done this but if not it might help when you do have to strip them.<br /><br />sorry long comment..i like to blah blah blah. <br /><br />Good luck with the diapers. Non absorbent diapers suck.<br /><br />Praying for your family and your sweet boy.<br /><br />JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458123684141830132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-90873806140406564042009-06-23T22:12:23.333-04:002009-06-23T22:12:23.333-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458123684141830132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-76644005602080320672009-06-23T21:56:49.852-04:002009-06-23T21:56:49.852-04:00Woohoo!

I wasn't about to switch though because I already had things in the cart, not to mention my two babies.
