Jonah's new bedroom



(Just so you all know, I am very aware that my blog has turned into Jonatopia) Okay, well I guess it's technically not a "new room" but it's Jonahs first time sleeping in it! I decided to try out the nursery last night due to a huge baby that's too big for his bassinet! I spent all day organizing Jonah's bedroom and boy he sure loves his new 'crib'. I also feel like having him sleep in his room forces me to be a better mother and actually get out bed and rock him back to sleep, rather than just putting him in bed with me. It's also really nice having our room to ourselves, and not taken over with baby stuff and dirty diapers!

Our little Camel


Zachary started calling Jonah CJ (Camel Jonah) because of his constant spitting up. The little guy just can't seem to get it all out when I burp him after nursing.Without fail, every time I nurse him, about 30 min. to an hour later, his clothes are soaked with vomit! Today, as Zach took phim out of the car, he noticed white vomit all across the seat in front of Jonah.. Luckily he projectiled so far out that his clothes didn't get wet one bit! So to solve the problem of constantly changing his clothes, "CJ" now wears a bib EVERYWHERE! I know he looks a little funny but it sure beats going through his whole wardrobe in one day!
Problem #2: I'm embarrassed to say that we spent a couple hundred dollars on these very fancy cloth diapers! When we first saw their display at my doctors office we thought they looked so neat! The lady who makes them swears by them and says that the one size still fits her 2 year olds! We used them for about a week a month ago and than I decided to switch to our disposables that I got as a baby shower gift, until they ran out. Well, they ran out a few days ago and since than its been nothing but problems with the cloth diapers! I don't know if Jonah's legs are just too chubby but the diapers already don't fit right, and every time he pees, they leak through! It's sooo frustrating! I can't believe we spent $200 on these pieces of Junk!
I'm so mad about it that I want to go back to the doctors office with the display and write something mean like "Only buy these if you want your baby's clothes to be covered in urine all day! " I finally just gave up and bought a huge box of Pampers today. I thought we were so smart by buying cloth diapers and saving so much money! I feel so ripped off! Zach says we should just turn the diapers into a cute wall decoration in Jonah's room.. a very expensive decoration.
