Six weeks

Six weeks ago tonight, Baby L joined our family. He is a very happy, content little guy, who has been smiling for real for the last week. Today he pooped on his Baby Bjorn potty, and C and I each "caught" a pee! I'm not really doing EC, but the signs were so obvious for the poop, I couldn't help but try it...and as for the pee, he had nursed and was still dry when I went to change him, so I put him on the pot again. Success :) I just might have to run with this...

What else is new in our world (besides the excitement of a baby's bowels)? Not a whole lot. I went to a "crop night" for scrapbooking tonight, and drooled over my friend M's Creative Memories stock (she's a consultant). I didn't actually DO any scrapbooking, as I couldn't find C's book I started five years ago. I know it's here somewhere...probably in one of those boxes still not unpacked from our move. Yikes. Now with child #3, do I really think I'll catch up? Sure...since some of the moms are talking about a weekly crop night! Ha.

Look for baby updates tomorrow. I didn't get to weigh Baby L today, so I'll have to add that tomorrow. I'm going to guess he's up to 11-5 (he was 10-14 last Tuesday).

Just a warning...once the EC bug gets you it's hard to go back!!

Okay Jen (and Rixa), so this may be where I find the inspiration I've been lacking... Perhaps if I used our fitteds w/o covers to 'tune in'? And go naked while in the backyard (baby naked, me dressed--somewhat at least)? hm...

I forgot to say happy 6-weekerhood to baby L! Nice to hear about the sweet smiles :)

I caught another bm last night :) I have to say, it's pretty obvious once I even thought to "go there" in my head...now the pees are harder!

Judit said...

...so, how much time btween obvious sign and actual poop?? Is it a pretty quick dash?

Well, I haven't been sprayed yet while positioning him :) I've actually gotten a few more bms, and a few more pees too! He woke from napping, and diaper was dry, so I put him on the pot, said "pssss" in his ear, and voila! un pee-pee ;)I think you've got to play around with it...but if you can read M's signs, it should be enough time to undo the dipe and throw her on the pot! Let me know...
