GDiaper

Here is a shot of my little baby wearing the eco-friendly gdiaper. It seems to work nicely but Eric is completely freaked out by the whole thing... Poop on the loose is not easy to deal with. A down side to the diaper is that yesterday when changing him we noticed that he was RED where the diaper was. Now I don't think it was diaper rash - perhaps he was just hot? Perhaps it was the orange dye? I don't know but we put a bunch of A&D on him and stuck him in a disposable.

He is nearly out of the small gdiapers. I am not sure if I should get just the large? Or a medium? Is it realistic? Will I be the only one to use them? Will I use them once I go back to work? These are a few good questions that I am not sure making a huge purchase will answer. These gdiapers are nearly twenty bucks a pop. Ugh.

On a happier note, I think the baby blues might be gone finally. I am not going to deny having them and I am thankful that my fears of having a full postpartum attack have not been realized. And while I am typing this my baby is sleeping in a snuggley carrier that I am wearing and the music is blaring from my computer! I am so glad that I don't have to be quiet for baby to sleep.

Please note that the damn diaper is on backwards... what a pain in the ass it will be to put it on the "correct" way!

I am learning to type all over again. I have one hand and one eye free from the baby sometimes... the rest of the times I have no hands. I am still pretty sore from the whole giving birth thing. On the other hand, I am pretty okay with the whole breast feeding thing. I have to admit that I am using nipple shields. I have tried to not use them and he just gets frustrated so we go back to using them. If that is what it takes to get him to have breast milk then that is what it takes. I will deal with having to clean the damn things all the freaking time.

I realize that nipple shields are not the most interesting thing to most people in this universe but let me tell you - they are lifesavers! Alright. Baby Alex just fell asleep at the boob and now its time for me to get an hour of shuteye as well.

Baby Alexander

LOVE. Now its time for me to try to get some sleep too!
