Today, I checked the mail to find a giant zulily bag--the bag I've been waiting on for a couple of weeks now. It was my second order of cloth diapers, and I have been anxious to check them out! My first order was super cute, and it was finally nice to actually handle the diapers and figure them out firsthand. At first glance, they were intimidating because of the ten billion snaps, but once Derick and I watched a short tutorial online, it was easy. The diapers we got today are more colorful than the last order, and two of them are made of minky, which I wasn't really familiar with until I ordered the diapers. Minky, to me, is like a very soft terry cloth, almost plush. I'm curious to know how well it will resist stains and leaks, but they are just so soft they will probably be worth it just for the baby's comfort! I would like a few minky diapers, and with the frequent pee issues I'm having, it may not be a bad investment. So now we have a total of five cloth diapers for Baby Roberts. I've put the ordering on hold for now since we've registered for diapers, but it was fun to get diapers for really great prices! I couldn't pass up the deals, so I'm happy with our purchases.
I had a headache all day yesterday, and I came across some Cool Caffeine mints while cleaning. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Cool Caffeine mints sometimes come in MREs. According to the package, 4 mints=1 can of cola; 5 mints-1 cup of tea; 10 mints=1 cup of coffee. I thought maybe I just needed some caffeine to cure my headache, so I sucked on three for a few minutes then spit them out because I didn't want to be on a caffeine high all day. But last night, I did something crazy and sporadic, and I figured I would pay for it all night long. Thankfully, I didn't. I really, REALLY wanted an iced coffee all day, despite my weirdness with caffeine, and I told Derick about it when he got home. It was around six thirty or so when we drove across town to Starbucks, which I really think is a joke because they charge an arm and a leg for just a few sips of coffee, but whatever. I was desperate. I drank my iced coffee and waited to bounce off the walls. Coffee normally causes me to be a little nutty anyway, but coffee at night was sure to be an adventure. Almost like crystal meth. There I go with the drug references again. Anyway, I didn't go crazy, and I was able to fall asleep easily, so maybe Baby Roberts just wanted some dadgum caffeine and was sick of Mom being such a weenie about it. I did wake up pretty early and couldn't go back to sleep, but that can't kill anyone, right?
I went to yoga again today, and it was so nice. It was harder today than last week, and I don't know if more difficult poses were incorporated or if my belly has grown so much that some of the poses are weird. I feel good, though, and I'm planning to continue going until I pop.
Well, I didn't have much to say today. I basically just wanted to brag about the three diapers I got today, so that's my excuse for blogging. It's Wednesday! and I'm hoping it will rain just a smidgen. A little rain is always nice on days like this.
Y'all eat 10 Cool Caffeines for me today! Can you imagine having ten mints in your mouth at once? They're about the size of buttons on a man's shirt. Ah, I admire the things Marines do to stay frosty.
