Sick ?

Well I've been so busy with the kids being sick and now myself that there hasn't been an update or post. So here is a quick update, Kira is doing better or shes just not letting it bother her much, Hayden had a fever and runny nose and he got better I thought but I guess he didn't since he's sick and not feeling good. Myself I thought that the kids got me sick and maybe they did, but right now my seasonal allergies are kicking my butt. Pat seems fine.
Not much really to say.
Kira's getting big, I can't believe it's been almost a year now. She's a talker, she only says a few words but she uses then non-stop. Mama, Dada and we think Baba means she wants the breast since she hasn't has or used a bottle. She is a big breastfeed-er, she loves the boob, but she vicious to them. She pokes, pinches, pushes and grabs at the breast.
Hayden has been going to Headstart when he isn't sick, and he loves school. I can't believe it's been 3 years. Time goes by too fast and I wish I took everyones advice on the time going by in the blink of an eye. It's scary, I miss those up all nights, cuddly munchkins, the hold me mama, I want you mama type of behavior you get from a baby. My kids are growing up so fast right in front of me and trying to take the time to enjoy it before time does fly by is hard. I miss the sweet sound of the babbles and coos when talking back to the kids, Kira does it but not like she use to.
Well I guess that's all for now, shoot me a idea to write about. Hope everyone is doing good and is in good health, (and not sick like us over here.) Have a great day.

Cloth Diapers or Disposable Diapers - Which to Pick?:

Things to think about when chosing cloth diapers or disposable diapers.

Let's start with cloth diapers.


Cloth Diapers:
Pros-                                        Cons-
1. less money                            1. can be a hassle
2. no harsh chemicals               2. can be hard to clean from stains
3. reusable                                3. can be bulkier then disposable
4. less waste for landfills          4. depending on cloth child might be allergic
5. easy to re-size                     
6. environment friendly            
                                             
                                             
Disposable Diapers:                  
Pros-                                        Cons-
1. less hassle                             1. expensive
2. neat and unbulky                  2. harsh chemicals against babies skin
3. easy to carry around             3. can fall apart
4. toss away the stinkiness       4. more rashes
                                                 5. more waste for landfills
                                                 6. have to buy another size
                                                 7. not environment friendly


For me personally I still can't really decide. I like cloth since there is no harsh chemicals that can be bad for babies skin, but I like the less hassle of disposable. So for me im on a thin line of half and half for each. I do cloth diaper but I also use disposables. I personally like making my own cloth diapers compared to buying them since it seems that I can make them for less money with still good quality.

So there's my run-down on Cloth and Disposable Diapers. Now it's your turn to tell me where you fall into the diaper line-up.

Back and Ready to Continue:

I am sorry to any of my Parenting Blog followers. I stopped blogging for a while, I had a few things come up with family. So I had a lot going on. But I hope to be back without many interruptions and I am ready to continue on blogging about Parenting.

So a quick update, I hope to have 2-3 drafted posts published by Saturday. Kira is doing good, she had a fever a few days ago and everyone is saying its because she is teething, but I'm over here saying she is almost  10 months and not a peeping tooth anywhere in that mouth of hers. Well they'll come in eventually.
Hayden will be starting Headstart School in a week or so. It will be Mon-Thurs. So he gets a 3 day break to be home doing things with his mommy (ME!) and his sister (Kira) and when daddy isn't working, daddy (Pat).

Anyway this is the end of this post be on the lookout for new posts, coming soon. Sorry again for dropping off the blogging earth. But remember if you have any questions, comments, pre-pregnancy, pregnancy,  toddlerhood ask away. Have something you would like me to blog about a topic related to pregnancy, parenting, toddlers anything comment below. If you would like other ways to contact me let me know we can set something up, email, text, facebook whatever it may be.

Well this is the end of this and remember Live, Laugh, Love, Play (everyday) with your babies and toddlers. I will try post some arts-n-crafts ideas and maybe some science ideas for play that are educational yet fun.
