Hey everyone! Hope you got through the weekend okay. Believe it or not we had more snow...

Kevin is looking forward to the days when Isaac is out there helping him clear the driveway! I tell him he's gonna have to wait a while for that.

Friday the dreaded belly button stump fell off!! I was so excited. It was by far the grossest thing ever (ok that may be a little dramatic but honestly it was really gross and it smelled). I have been wanting very badly to switch Isaac from disposable to cloth diapers (yes I know you all think I'm crazy) but I'd been hesitant to do so because of the belly button stump. The cloth diaper covers have a thick Velcro fasten which lands right around the belly button area so I was worried about things getting caught and pulled but by Friday I had had enough of the cord stump and my desire to use the cloth diapers was overwhelming so I went ahead and fastened one on. Mush to my dismay (and delight) at the first post-cloth diaper change, there was the gross stump sitting on his belly!! The cloth diaper cover did exactly what I was afraid it would do and THANK GOD!!

So with the loss of the stump Isaac can have tub time now!! We were able to actually sit him in water in his little tub and give him a proper bath!! I think I loved it more then he did but he's just so stinkin' cute!! And of course it was a photo op!!

Speaking of photos...we picked up Isaac's pictures from his Walmart session. They came out AWESOME! I'll try to scan some in in my free time (insert laughter here) so ya'll (shout out to the fam in Virginia!) can see 'em.

So you may have noticed I've not been updating as much lately...self explanatory I assume...

The other good news is this seems to be getting easier (maybe I'm just getting used to the insanity and lack of sleep). Isaac is sleeping in his pack and play in our room at night making night time feedings much easier for me and Kevin has become a champion diaper changer!! 

My next hurdle is trying to do grocery. I am fine going to Wal-mart or Target where if Isaac has a breakdown I can leave the carriage or head to the bathroom/fitting room/ my car and feed and soothe him but what do you do at the grocery store?? I can't very well leave a full carriage of food in the isle...You may think its funny but this is what my life has become...Of course Kevin has suggested I leave Isaac with him and go but I'm having separation issues (and dreading the idea of returning to work). Audrey has offered to go with (or for) me and I may take her up on the offer.

Ok...baby is crying so I'm gonna check the situation out and hopefully I haven't caused him too much distress by letting him cry for a few minutes without running to his aid.

Oh did I mention he has real tears now?? That is a heart breaker...
