Bummas Wipes!

After the wipe and before the dipe, use a soft kiss of cloth to dry bums off. Keep diaper rash at bay, the Bummas way.

How cute is that saying? I love it! I got the chance to review a set of Bummas in calm ones and let me tell you, they really are amazing! Here is the recommended diaper routine by Bummas

1. Grab a Bumma before opening the diaper. Sneak "attacks" are frequent and will happen the second your mind wonders!
2. Place the Bumma over the privates while tending to the other parts. One Bumma will soak up an entire pee (really it will!)
3. clean up baby with a regular wipe or wet a Bumma and clean up sensative skin.
4. Use another bumma to thoroughly dry the baby off. Re-diaper
5.If the cover Bumma gets soaked, rinse it off and throw it in the wash (i didn't rinse i just threw it in the diaper pail)
6. The payoff- a dry bum, no diaper rash, and no surprise squirts! save money on diapers, powder and ointment. You can wash them and use them again and again!


Landyn generally doesn't do surprise attacks for me anymore, once in a while but he does always seem to get my mom's pillow when we are camping so i wish i had these when we went! I am looking forward to using them with the new baby since those surprise attacks happen very frequently in the first couple months. So since I skipped that for the most part (it did save my couch once!) I put some in my regular wipe rotation and some kept dry for drying off his bum and they really work well. It's nice not to have any extra moisture on his bum before putting the diaper back on. That's something that has always bothered me! Using them with my other wipes they are a whole different league! I wish i had a ton more! They really wipe up messy diapers well and work great for getting baby food off of the high chair.

Now I know what you are thinking, I want some! Well the wonderful people at Bummas have allowed me to give away a set to a lucky reader! So to enter head on over to Bummas and let me know which set you would pick. Leave a comment with your pick and one thing you like about Bummas. (Required entry)

slacker

So all of you can call me a huge slacker in the blog department. I really don't have a good excuse for not being on here. I log in and read everyone's but don't do anything with mine. So here's a family update

Landyn turned 8 months on the 4th of July. We went down by my family camping and Landyn scooted on his belly for the first time across my parents bed. Yup he sat up on his 7 month birthday and started scooting at 8 months. Fast forward a couple weeks and he is into everything! Still not crawling but scooting everywhere, rocking on his hands and knees and can go from his belly to sitting. He also can pull himself up onto you if you are laying on the floor with him. Oh and his favorite thing to do is bite people! Those 2 little teeth he has on the bottom are sharp!

Onto baby #2 aka Peanut- I will be 10 weeks tomorrow, went to the doctor and they changed my due date from Feb 8th to the 16th. Saw the heartbeat on ultrasound, the tiny flicker brings tears to my eyes. I go to the OB on Thursday morning for a regular visit and then on the 11th for an ultrasound, bloodwork and a regular visit. We were not offered the 13 week ultrasound with Landyn and I cannot wait to see Peanut! I'm hoping to find out the sex but am not crossing my fingers since I understand it's very early on to know.

I've had some very bad reactions to this pregnancy and have decided that I'm just going to ignore all the comments and disable annoymous comments on my blog for this reason. It sucks because that means that family who reads my blog cannot comment like the past but I've talked to them about this and they understand. So from now on if there is something they want to say i'll just comment for them!

Okay enough negativity. I have a few reviews and giveaways coming up so stay tuned!

Baby Names

Well we are trying to figure out baby names... it's harder with the second I think because we are not sure if we want to stay with another "L" name or not. My mom did, Kelli and my bro Keith. Ryans mom did (although she just liked the names) Ryan and Rebecca. Since our baby names are not family related at all we were thinking about staying with another L name to keep some sort of tradition... I can't decide and Ryan isn't any help at all! (but what man is??) okay onto the names!

If we stay with another L name:
Boy- Liam Alexander
Girl- Lillianna (Lilly or Anna) Rachel

If we don't stay with L names:
Boy- Aadyn William, Keaghan Alexander (not sure how i want to spell it but will not be the "normal" way)
Girl- Ryleigh Olivia, Adleigh Rose, Ella Ryleigh

So for now that's the list. Landyn would have been Ryleigh Olivia so that name is still top of my list but depending on if we stay with the L names or not... I know this seems like a little detail to everyone else but to me it's a hard decision!!!

baby #2 aka Peanut!

Well I calculated my due date, Baby #2 aka Peanut, is due to arrive around February 8th, 2010. If history repeats itself i should be induced around 38 weeks which would be the week of January 25th. I scheduled my first appointments, which are next week Wednesday for a meeting with the nurse, bloodwork and pee in a cup and then I meet with the doctor the next morning. Which happens to be the day before my best friend Rachel's weddding, which i'm in! It will be a crazy week but I'm soo looking forward to it!

This pregnancy was a bit of a suprise to us but a very welcome suprise. We hadn't been preventing since about 2 months after Landyn was born, the mini pill wouldn't work very well if i was only taking it every other day! (if that!) We trusted that there is always a plan for everything and God would not give us more than we could handle. In the beginning of May Ryan and I sat down and said we would plan on waiting until the fall or winter to start trying for a second baby, well mid May we concieved this little Peanut! We wouldn't change it for anything and really are looking forward to having two children about 15 months apart!

Ryan has been gone since Thursday night at a Nascar Race with his Dad and some friends and i have figured out one thing this weekend. I would never be able to handle being a single mom! I'm exausted, working on about 15 or 16 hours of sleep total and to top it off morning sickness aka all day sickness has fully set in!

This week I'll post our baby names for all of you to weigh in on! (I just have to wait until Ryan's home to go over them again with me!)

7 months

Well I know I'm a slacker in the blogging department, I'm trying to get better I promise! Landyn turned 7 months today, at 12:05pm to be exact! He's still not sleeping through the night and on average gets up at least 3-4 times. I know, you think I'm joking. But nope I'm not! Last night I got the idea that maybe he is just too warm at night so I put him to bed in his adorable Bum Genius cloth diaper and a onesie... he slept 8:30-12:30 and then went back to sleep until 5. Unfortunately he wet through his diaper, which in turn leaked all over my bed sheets. So after a quick change of sheets and Landyn, Ryan took him downstairs so I could get some more sleep. I love it when Ryan lets me sleep in!!! (he's very good to me with letting me do this on a fairly regular basis, which makes me love him even more!)

Today Landyn finally mastered sitting up, I still can't walk away from him because our dog, Tucker, likes to sniff him or piles his bones behind him and then when Landyn falls backwards he hits his head on the bones. Major problem, I know! Tucker doesn't always realize he's 70 pounds... he still thinks he's a little puppy!

We went to the park this afternoon with my mom and a couple of the kids she watches. Landyn and Sarah (whos 9 months) play together fairly well. Landyn has to be the brute and steal all the toys from her but she's bigger than him so I'm fairly certain she could take him on with all her cute mama milk making fatness! We put them in the swing together and they loved it, Sarah even smiled! (this is a very rare occurance. She's completely opposite of Landyn, who smiles all the time!)

Tomorrow I will upload some pictures from today because apparently blogger doesn't like me tonight. I promise!
