Cloth diapers day 1

So,  I might be crazy buy I have decided to give cloth diapers a try.  We are currently in the first hour so I have not had to change one yet,  I guess that will be the moment of truth! Wish us luck. 

A healthy functional couple commit to each other through the power of will. They DECIDE and CHOOSE to stand by each other no matter what. A good relationship is based on committed love. It's not some maudlin feeling- IT'S A DECISION. A healthy functioning relationship is based on equality, the equality of two self-actualizing spiritual beings who connect at the level of their beingness. Each is in... the proccess of becoming a whole person. Each grows because of love for each other. Both partners in a healthy functional marriage know that in the final analysis, they are responsible of their own wounds, actions and happiness. Happiness cannot be the fruition of a maturation process if it is dependent on something outside itself. Maturity is a process of moving from emotional support to self-support. From puberty on, growing up and becoming mature means standing on one's own two feet and being independent and self- supporting. No relationship is healthy if it is based on incompleteness and neediness. Healthy relationships are mature, which means equal, self- responsible and mutually supportive. The mature relationship image I like best is two people making music together. Both play their own instrument and use THEIR OWN UNIQUE SKILLS, but they play the same song. Each is whole and complete. Each is independent and committed. Furthermore, in a healthy and committed relationship, each partner has a commitment to discpline. Each is self-disciplined and is willing to apply discipline to the relationship. Discipline utilizes 4 basic techniques that ease the suffering associated with life's inevitable problems. They are:
1. Delaying gratification
2. Accepting responsibility for self
3. Telling the truth and being dedicated to reality
4. Bracketting ego needs for the sake of spiritual growth
Finally, discipline is both fueled by the commitment of love and is part of the commitment.

Early Thanksgiving

A few months ago we learned that my brother Jason's Cancer is getting the best of him, we don't know how much longer he has so with this in mind and since are family will be out of town for thanksgiving we decided to have our own early thanksgiving dinner. It turned out very well, with a lot of delicious food! I'm so grateful I could spend one more thanksgiving with you. Love you Jas!

Week Two

Week two was really interesting!  Me and Adam had lots of time to learn about each other with all of our middle of the night feedings, which is definitely an adventure of its own.  He ended up losing some weight and was not gaining it back, scary for me as a new mom.  But luckily I have been blessed with so many great people that have helped me and been there for me at the hardest times as well as my most emotional times and i hate to say was most of the time.  At 3 weeks he was back up to his birth weight! yeah, go us!
