Mornin gasl
The Hubby stories were crackin me up--i had a moment that that with Charlie--totally snapped on him when he let Cohen wail for a 1/2 hour when i was at the gym and he got hungry (there was pumped milk in the fridge)--he is the most wonderful husband, but that was truly a stupid moment. I think they all have em and mixed with some sleep deprivation, well, watch out guys!
Diver--luvin the watch, smooth move with the email--i need to remember that one
sorry to hear about D''s diaper rash--i remember a few babies that got it real bad at the daycare i worked at (i remember the screaming while changing them all too well, terrible) this is what we would do once it was under control:
a) switch to 100% unscented diapers
b) never, ever use baby wipes--just soft cotton cloths with warm water
c) pat the diaper area dry once cleaned with water
d) apply desitin (or whatever product)
e) air-dry the area a few times a week
For Cohen, i bought a wipes-warmer and dozens of cotton face cloths--i wet them and put a stack in the warmer each morning for changes. It produced more laundry but it''s gentle on the bum.
LC--i will be a juice and milk nazi--my cousins teeth rotted from juice bottles and there is just no need for extra sugar...i also don''t think cow''s milk is a healthy drink (i know many will disagree) so i am avoiding them. I am hoping my kids will drink the ''green juice'' i am currently sipping on --i juice kale, brocolli, celery, lettuce, apple and lemon each morning--it looks like algae water but is so high in calcium and vitamins hopefully i can get Cohen onto it.
Curly-- totally just my opinion, but if you had a great spontaneous labor with lili i would go natural, you''ll probably have an even easier time for the second (or so ppl say), if the pictocin ended in a c-section i think the recovery from that would be more of a PITA than the extra planning for Lili??? Not that it would necessarily end that way, but just a thought to consider.
Jen--Twin girls!! Yay!!! so neat! Sorry your Dh didn''t get his boy, but he''ll adore and spoil those little girls for sure.
MrsS. Your niece is just beautiful!

Cohen had his 6 week check-up yesterday, he is just about 11 lbs. He has a terrible case of cradle cap now after just getting rid of his baby acne--poor guy, it looks so itchy although i read it isn''t. I tried olive oil for a while but now i''ve switched to mineral oil so i hope it works
He still sleeps well at night but day time naps are a lost cause. Yesterday he had 2 20 min naps and that was after i tried and tried all day to get him down. He''s miserable by 7pm so i start to get him prepped for bed and he normally zonks out, but sometimes he''s over tired and will stay up well past 9. I don''t get it.
