It's Rex Manning Day...

That's kind of what I feel like anyway. I'm having major "mommy" moments lately. There the moments where I stop and I think, "Oh my, I'm about to be a mom of two." With just Smasher I can still get by with my semi-childless status. I mean I'm always a mom and yes there are things that I get really excited about in the baby world, but I could usually separate myself from it if need be. I've recently decided that this is no longer possible. I talk about Smasher non-stop and about how excited I am for 8 to be here. I get stupid over things like cloth diapers, baby clothes and Moby wraps. I mean, I am getting a little sick of myself now. I can't imagine how The Hubby is dealing with it. He is so supportive and a great addition to our little family.

This past week has kind of been awesome. I've got something that I ordered almost everyday and I now I received everything!!! I got all of her feeding supplies last week and then today my new Moby and all of their diapers came in. I kind of want to test the Moby of Smash, but I don't know if he'd like it much. I may have to let The Hubby try it since I'm sure my back would hurt after too long. I'm about to start washing all of the diapers since in order to get the maximum absorbency out of them you have to pre-wash them about 5 times or so. They should be ready by tonight though and I think Smasher will be wearing them tomorrow. Hopefully we can say "goodbye" to the disposables in this house. I know my mom is still going to use disposables on him though and probably everyone else will too when I'm not around, but at least he won't be in them all of the time.

So, going back to me having a "mommy" moment. Actually there were two moments today. The first having happened after my mailman left a brown box on top of my mailbox (it was the Moby.) I rushed in and opened the box and wanted to try it right away but I don't think Smasher would have it, plus I can only carry him on my back and right now..well, that just doesn't seem like too much fun. The second moment was when Smasher and I rounded the corner and I saw a huge box sitting on my doorstep. I just about screamed like a little girl at a Jonas Brothers concert (my new favorite analogy, by the way.) I got in. Put Smasher down for a nap and tore open the box. I'm missing like four of them. Three of them I knew about and they will all be to me by next week, so it's all good.

So, my unexpected life has got me excited about cloth diapers (which while VERY cute, will ultimately be holding poo), Moby wraps and baby clothes. How did I end up here again? I must have gotten lucky somewhere along the way!

So, for now, auf wiedersehen....I have laundry to do :)
