Oops, I Blinked

When Loralai was born, she was 7 pounds. Now she is 7 weeks old and weighs roughly 9 pounds and has completely out grown newborn diapers and newborn clothes. She is in size 1 diapers and 0-3 months clothes.
I've heard other parents saydon't blink, otherwise when you open your eyes your child will be graduating high school. Well Loralai may not be there yet, but she definately grew a lot in that brief moment it took me to blink.
Next week I start back at work; and while Im excited, I am also nervous. If she has grown so much during the time I've been with her, then how much faster will she grow when I spend 6-8 hours away from her at a time 5 days a week? Hopefully my baby will stay a baby for a long time and not grow up too fast.

My Little Poop Monkey

I can't even begin to name the amount of times my baby has pooped all over her diaper and it has leaked onto her clothes. Let me just say to all new moms out there; be sure to carry an extra set of clothes or two in that diaper bag and be prepared to give your infant more bathes then you ever thought you'd have to give them. Part of the problem is making sure that you have the diaper on perfect every single time you change your baby, but you can't plan for those times when they simply just overfill their diaper before you can get a chance to change them.
I've heard rumor that Huggies diapers are better for girls and that Pampers diapers are better for boys, but you will hear me swearing by Pampers. And Huggies wipes tend to be rougher than Pampers wipes. Also try to get Pampers Swaddlers or Huggies Snugglers if you prefer Huggies because both those types of diapers have a yellow line on the diaper that turns blue when your baby pees. Its just an easier way to see if your baby needs a diaper change other than having to peek in through the side of a diaper and helps you to disturb your sleeping baby a little less.
