My poor girlie...
So last night was a not-so-great night. :-( Several months ago we noticed that Chloe was really fussy and spit-uppy after I ate an egg sandwich one night and then an omelete the next, so I've been avoiding anything that was mainly egg. Except for last night. I was dumb and made custard and ate some of it. Six hours later = fussiness, crying, congestion, coughing, and projectile vomiting. Ugh. We felt so bad for her!
So now I can hardly wait for her next Pediatrician visit so that I can hammer him with questions. I feel so blessed to have great doctors for her, and especially that one of her primary doctor's specialties is allergies! He was out on a family emergency last time I took her in, so I'm hoping that has been resolved and he is back! I am just so lost when it comes to knowing what to do. But would love some answers. :-/ We already knew that we would have to be careful with strawberries and tomatoes, because I often get hives pretty badly when I eat those, but I've had adrenal issues and hives off and on (and awfully persistant the last 6 or so weeks) so I'm beginning to wonder if I have other sensitivities, too, that I need to watch out for in her???? I have no clue how to even find out! So, yes. I'm quite looking forward to that appt. on April 1st.
Thankfully Chloe seems to be doing better now. But if you could pray for our little girlie, I'd appreciate it!

Snow, snow, snow!
On Friday, Chloe and I went with Dwight to work so that we could attend chapel with him. We love the chance to be with him during the day and sometimes the speaker/ music is worthwhile. ;-) Friday was good as they were honoring Dr. and Mrs. Dobson for their work beginning FotF and saying good-bye to them as they begin their new ministry. And the Getty's were back!!!! We were out of town when they led worship in November, so I was quite happy about them being there. :-)
Since we had to have Dwight to work by 8:00, Chloe and I walked around until the doors opened for guests. She was quite intrigued by the slide (A-bend-a-go at Whit's End). Has to wait a few years until she's old enough, but then we will show her how it's done! :-) The fresh snow on Pikes Peak was beautiful. :-)

Raving About Cloth Diapers
Okay. So be prepared for a weird post. This one is about why I love cloth diapers...
#1.
We are saving SOOOOOOOO much money. (Or at least we will by the time she is out of them) The extra o's there may be overkill, but it gets the point across. :-P Seriously though, this is my stash: I'm not for sure what the cost would be if I used regular ones, because I have no idea how many diapers she goes through in a day (Huggies Pure & Natural), but I'm thinking it would be more. She hates being dirty or wet and wants changed el pronto. An added savings benefit, too, is that aside from the 1 pink HP, and the 1 pink cover... it could all be used again for hopefully another baby, boy or girl! :-)
* 3 One-size BumGenuis Organic snap = $60 (amazing sale!)
* 3 Haute Pocket One-Size snap = $36
* lifetime supply of Dappi plastic pants (i.e., 2 pkgs. of 3 ea. in xs - large) = $24
* 3 unknown newborn/ small covers = free
* 3 Thirsties Duo covers (one size 1/ two size 2) = $33.75
* Hanging bag for the dirty ones = $21
* 30 Gerber prefolds = about $45
* wipes from an old flannel sheet = free
* pins (3 pkgs., so 12 pins) = $3
* 3 hemp doublers = $9
#2. They smell so fresh and non-perfumy or plasticy. (edit: when clean)
#3. Colors!!! So many fun ones to choose from!
#4. Makes her bottom fluffy. :-P I think it makes it easier to hold her!
#5. They say it helps prevent diaper rash...
#6. Since you just re-wash them, I don't really have to worry about quick runs to the store or running out.
#7. I don't have to picture them rotting in a landfill. Though obviously that isn't a huge one for us, since I do buy sposies for travel. Still, its a gross thought.
More to be added to later... :-D
(Oh and if you are going to have a baby registry, people are more than happy to give towards building your stash! That is how we got a lot of ours and it was a generous and wonderful help for sure!)

Helpful hint: When baby is beside you on the bed, diaperless to air (helps prevent rash), DON'T wait as long as I just did... groan....
