At Home with Heather

Anyway...our little punkin is now 5 months old! Where did the time go? She definitely wants to move around and scoots her little body all around her play mat...we will see when she decides to attempt crawling. She is attempting to sit up and is doing well, but still needs support to sit up for more than a few seconds.

We are now on week 3 of our cloth diapering adventure. So far, so good. The Bum Genius cloth dipes really are great and I am glad we decided to go with them. We are still doing the disposables at night, but will eventually switch over to 100% cloth when we run out. The diaper sprayer we connected to a toilet is a "must" in my opinion if you are are going to venture into this world. But we are having fun and Sam doesn't even mind them either.

I got a Moby wrap after having so many people suggest it and then suggesting it myself without ever owning one. I LOVE it!!! It is very nice to have the two shoulder support that the sling lacks to perform in. I found a camo colored one online and told Sam I was going to get it for him for our NEXT baby. =) (I have to put those messages in his mind b/c he says we are only going to have one!)

We didn't go trick or treating with the crew (Cauthen's and Stroud's) because Emerald was feeling "under the weather." I loaded up on herbs and essential oils and gave her the ones she could take and she is feeling LOTS better. It's no fun when your baby doesn't feel good, so I hope that the rest of this "sick season" we can keep the yuckiness at bay and continue to do preventative care.

Onto to other news...school is going pretty well. I have found it difficult to tend to Emerald and get everything done. I have had my sister come stay a few times just so I can do my schoolwork undisturbed. It will help when Sam is home every night and we can "take turns" as he is in school full time right now too.

Speaking of Sam coming home...this is his LAST week of paralegal school!!!! HURRAY!!! We only have 3 more nights apart and then NO MORE!!! We survived. The first few weeks were not fun, but it really started to go by fast after that. I am just glad it is over for now.

That about sums up our news for now!! Looking forward to the holiday season!
