I am so jealous of the baby's sleeping through the night, we still aren't even close. I think we had a couple of 2 hour sleep periods last night, but we had a bunch of 90 minute ones too. I just want a couple of 4 hour ones. Desmond showed no interest in bed before 12:30 last night was kind of a pain, I took him up at 10:30 and brought him back down shortly after that. He did get up at 10:30 this morning though so maybe we can try an earlier bedtime tonight again. He also slept quite a bit during the day yesterday so I don't really blame him for not being tired.

We are looking at June to start TTCing I think. It was suppose to be end of April/start of May, but we are definitely going to India in October and I don't want to be more then 4 months pregnant when we go. In fact 4 months is my ideal, since I'll be passed the 1st trimester tiredness and into the barely noticing I'm pregnant stage, which will be nice while over there. On the bonus side it seems like my in laws will be paying for our plane tickets which is a major bonus since we really don't have the 3k we would need for them right now.

i know--i miss zenon's toothless baby grin. kaylo was fussy/showed teething signs for four months b/f he got teeth--his fussiness could be teeth even if they have a while to come through.

oh my gosh... zenon just broke the ring-binder part of a haba book with have. as i was trying to fix some of it, he rather sneakily tried to grab and eat the little pieces. i took it away and he started his whiney fit. i gave him some of his block toys and he threw/shoved them away!
i'm not ready for attitude...i thought i had a couple years! (he's probably imitating his brother!
)

We are going to see family. I've been once before, about a year after my wedding. We went for two weeks, we may stay as long as 3 weeks this time.

DH is half Indian, he grew up here and his Mom is a petite little blond from West Virginia, his Dad however is from India and came over to University of Maryland for his PhD they ended up married and living here rather then India (which I appreciate since otherwise it is unlikely I would have met DH).

We will be going to New Delhi and the area around there mainly, all of my Father in Laws relatives (direct) live in that area, they grew up in Paniput (spelling?) and now are a bit more scattered.

It is the introduce Desmond to all his relatives trip, so it should be fun, I hope, other then the 17 hours on an airplane with an 18 month old. DH and I are actually taking a Hindi class starting next week so hopefully we may have some rudimentary Hindi when we go this time, his Dad unfortunately wasn't a great teacher so DH only knows a couple of words here and there. I really did love India last time we were there and I can't wait to go back, then again I love traveling anywhere so that probably helps a lot.

I just wanted to say I have lost all motivation to CD...since the move...and starting my own home-based biz. I can't seem to get anything done-dishes, laundry, de-clutter, etc... Anyway, wish I still felt the fire! I was so gung-ho w Andy and Noah up until he was 7 mon. Ho-hum! I am glad you are still so excited about it. I do know that buying new/used cute new things really helps, but I have no $ or time for that either.

Congrats, I looked at the stocking and decided against it, I am going to wait till Feb to get Desmond some new night diapers since I am ordering me mama cloth this month in a co-op.

How cool for you!!! Which prints? Or did you score OBV?

I just scored a brown floral Mutt tonight... I think I like my knit print Mutts more than my print Goodmamas. Which is kinda cool since they're cheaper!

Ahh...someone joining me here in lazy sposie-ville...welcome to the dark side.
(hee hee...I used to say "welcome to the dark side" everytime someone converted TO cloth when I was using cloth. I guess they are both "dark sides" in their own little ways.) I have to admit that I have quite a bit more free time now that I am not always on diaperswappers and the diaper pin.

finn'smama, I hope your plugged duct clears up soon!!

it's hard when you have a lot of other things going on-- starting a business is huge. i've definately stopped the CD the past week when we're all so sick...i have enough laundry backing up as it is!

candy stripes. rather girly
but to tell you the truth, i like seeing zenon in pink


really--you like mutts better? see, i'm new to these fancy dipes--i've always just kissaluvs and prefolds. why do you like them better?? maybe i'll have to try one of those too.


hope your duct UN-plugs fast anika!!

holy cow....I am so out of touch


I was in WY for the last 6 days for a wedding, all went well, they were so understanding that G needed to be with me all the time...I even held her when I walked down the aisle (I was a bridesmaid).

Anyways. G is starting to push up real big and looks like she is thinking about crawling (way behind all you whose babes who are about to walk!
) and I am furiously researching carseats. Sigh. Does the research ever end?? Just checking in...have tons I should be doing (like un-packing!)

OMG, I just checked and you are on the banned list, wth?? I'd email on the the admins, this is insane! What was your pm about (trying to figure out how it could be construed as spam)... You can go in as a guest can't you? Contact Samatha (she's the one that keeps the banned list updated) by email (she has an email link on her profile). I can't believe they banned you without questioning you first!

Mutts: squishy goodness, I love the 3sr ones (like the Gnomes pictured on my Blog). They run from 22$ to 27$ new and you can get them great deals used if you ever get back on DS.
Here's a not so recent picture of romi in a 3sr.
