Time has flown!

I can't believe that it has been so long since I have posted! The boys are soooo big! Things are very hectic around the house and one of the reasons that I haven't posted is because my laptop doesn't have internet connection anymore. The network card has gone out and I haven't gotten a new one yet. Its hard to find the time to do something simple as get online and find a new network card when you have 3 kids! They almost never want to sleep at the same time unless its night time and then I want to be sleeping! Oh well. I love every minute of it. Here is a few things that have been going on in my life!
-The boys are 2 months old now! They turned 2 months last Friday and I can't believe how big they are. They are almost 11 lbs a piece by now. They drink about 4 oz every 3 hrs and sleep pretty well. At night, they eat anywhere from 9-11 and then sleep for 5-6 hrs at a time! It helps to get a little bit longer stretch between feedings. I get a little more rest than I have in the past. They have their own personalities too. Johnathan is very happy. He loves to smile and does so more often than his brother. He is very laid back too. Jonah is more of the squeaky wheel. He normally requires more attention than Johnathan does. Not that its a bad thing, but sometimes I feel that Johnathan doesn't get as much attention because Jonah demands more.
-Joey is getting so big! I can't believe how mature he is getting. He is almost 18 months old now. My baby is on his way to 2! He knows 4 signs-more, eat, drink, and milk. He gets into about everything. The other day I was feeding one of the boys and I looked over and he had climbed up and had his hand in the fish tank splashing the water! He is so mischevious. He loves his Nana, Papa, Nanny, and Pa to death! Everytime we drive anywhere, he asks, "Papa?" Wanting to know if we are going to see his Papa.
-We are cloth diapering on almost a full time basis now. There are a few times that we don't, but for the most part, we do. When we know we are going to be out for a long day or in the car for a long time, we will throw a disposable on them. I just don't want them to leak in the car or out somewhere when we don't have a change of clothes for them. I love doing it though. It makes me happy to put cloth on them. I guess its the knowledge of saving money and helping the environment. I am open to trying different types/brands of cloth diapers too. Any different ones that I can get my hands on, I will try. I guess you could call it an obsession to look for new diapers. There a bunch of sites that sell them and there are also sites that sell "used" ones. I know that some people would say that its gross to use a used cloth diaper on your kids, but who cares? If they are clean, why not. I make sure that they are cleaned well before I put them on my kids. It helps save me money, and it helps the people who are selling them to recoup some of the money that they have spent in the first place.
-I started back to work. Yesterday was my first day back to work. It was a good day too. I have been precepting as a PCA. I guess that I enjoy it becuase I am doing something. When I was secretary before the boys were born, I didn't have much to do. It was getting boring and I was starting to resent my job. I need something that keeps my mind working. If I don't have something to focus on, I get agitated and nervous. It was hard to leave the boys, but i know they are in good hands with Ashley.

I will try to post some pictures later, but I can't promise anything. I really don't get alot of ME time so I will really try! I have a few things that I would love to do around the house and those come before posting a blog. I do love my blog though because it helps me get things out in the open. I have very few places that I can vent about certain things in my life. Some people are judgemental and when I write my blog, I write it for myself, not anyone else. Don't try to be who you think people want you to be, be who you want you to be!

two places that are good for used diapers are clothdiapernation.com & diaperpin.com's forums. Also there's hyena cart spot's corner (http://hyenacart.com/Spots_corner/) - although that's such a long unorganized list I've not attempted to buy there.
