Our Day

So yesterday my Grandma wanted me to take her over to get a baby shower gift for my friend Michelle who is due in October.  Both of us have decided to take on cloth diapering.  She really got me into it about a month ago and now I am hooked.  She made a very good point when she said that we already do laundry why not add diapers in there with it.  So since then we have found Cutie Poops and Bottoms in Orland Park, Illinois.  Previously we had been visiting Comfy Bummy's in Naperville.  Honestly I like Cutie Poops and Bottoms a lot more.

The two times that I have been there they have been really nice, awesomely helpful and just joys to be around in general.  So we went and got the shower gifts and a few things for the Con Man.  My grandma got Connor a Memory Foam changing pad for traveling and a bamboo fitted diaper and I got Connor a Thirsties diaper cover and some new laundry soap for the prefolds we already have.

I think I am honestly hooked on this whole cloth diapering thing we have so many covers now!  My grandma also got Hayley a pair of "potty pants".  Hayley is potty trained but we do still have some problems during the night that we continue to work on.

After our Journey to the diaper store then I had to rush home to take Michelle to the Dr for her weekly appointment.  The Dr. then sent her over to the Hospital to be monitored.  So we sat there and sat there and sat there.  Finally they released her at about 3:30pm.  All while I had planned to leave for Ohio at 3pm.  Needless to say I was not going to leave my friend sitting a hospital by herself.

So we finally got on the road about 4:30pm and headed to Ohio to see the in-laws and daddy.  Daddy is at his yearly training for the National Guard.  It usually is only supposed to be two weeks but this year it is almost a month long.  Both Connor and Hayley cried almost the whole way.  Finally I stopped and got Hayley some dinner and fed and changed Connors diaper.  I changed him once then went to get Hayley some food and sat down to feed Connor and he decided to leave me a little present.  Oh joy thanks a lot bubba.  Got to the bathroom once again and realized I didn't have the wipes with me, they were in the car.  Oh shit what do I do?  Put a poopy diaper back on him and drag both of them back to the car or try and get the poo off with toilet paper.  Neither of them sounded to appetizing to me so I tried to TP thing and that 1 ply crap was just not working.  So all while im trying to tell Hayley to get me more another lady walks in with a baby.  She asked if everything was ok and of course what do I say "NO, I forgot my wipes in the car" as any other mother would do she whipped hers out and gave me a couple.  I couldn't have thanked her more. 

So we finally reached our destination of Gam Gam and Papas at about 10:30 last night.  The kids were so excited.  Well Connor was just excited to get out of his car seat.  But Hayley on the other hand was running around like a crazy chicken till after midnight.
