Ta Dah!

Baby Bergren Charles Olson arrived Saturday February 21, 2009. Weighing in just under 7 lbs he is a small, sweet thing.

His delivery was similar to his sisters but I've felt great and have recovered lots quicker. You know your doing good if you can walk around Target and not pass out. So far he's been way easier than Silvia, which I guess folks are right when they say the second one is easier. The only thing I've been contending with is a two year old in need of extra attention.

As far as his name goes... We thought he needed something solid and tough because he came out looking like he had already been in a brawl (darn pelvis!) It only took his big sister a week to get his name right so we'll give all our friends some lee-way. (hint: Ber--gren, it's a Swedish name meaning mountain brook.)

Now the highlights of my days are getting pee-d on, snuggling my blonde, getting Silvia dressed before 3 pm, and showering by 5 pm.

Life doesn't get much better than this!

Impulse shopping

We have those weaknesses right? For some it's shoes, a bag, even going crazy at Target (my usual). Last night I decided I couldn't wait anymore and that this purchase was justified enough to put on the ol' credit card.

Diapers. Yep, diapers. I finally just went for it and bought diapers. These aren't any run of the mill diapers. I have been supporting Pampers for way too long and only have enough rewards to get a childrens book. So, enough Pampers. I've moved on to the lovely, environmentally, finacially friendly cloth diapers. The funny thing is, I didn't even get the new 21st century diapers that are all the rage. I went ahead and got the fold-um up and pin-um diapers that my mom used on me. Nostalgia, maybe? Everyone says they are easy to use and a great, in-expensive way to see if cloth diapering will work for you. Which brings us to last night. I was wasting time online and started to browse the much longed for diaper sites and decided to do it. I'm really excited. I should receive my diap's in 5-10 days and hopefully baby boy isn't too far behind.

I know I'm a little crazy especially because I loathe laundry, but after I thought about the amount of diapers that I threw away in Silvi's 2 plus years of wearing disposables I can't justify the waste anymore. Plus, look how stinking cute that bum is!

So, here's to cloth diapers, environmental sustainability and let's not leave out credit cards!

P.S. Hubby doesn't know yet. I think I'll wait for him to help me open the package when delivered....or maybe our monthly statement.

Just for Fun

I let Silvi loose with the camera and this was one of the images. Pretty cool huh? This is the "green fairy" week 3. Pants aren't required when playing fairies.
