An update.

I bought non maternity jeans, finally...and I look and feel great in them!!! It's amazing, I'm still 20lbs more than I'd like to be, but I feel pretty good about myself these days...it also helps that I got the best compliment ever..from a man, and not my family or my husband...One of Daniel's coworkers said I didn't look like I had a baby 12 weeks ago. It made me feel great!

In other news, Dawson is teething...yes I said teething, at 12 weeks old...WTH? So that leaves me to find a tiny teether that actually fits in his tiny mouth. I bought 3 different types and ordered a raz berry teether (google it.)

I've decided that I will be making Dawson's baby food...and I'm totally excited about it. I've ordered a book and will start making it and freezing it soon! Can't wait!

My sister and her children are in a pretty bad turmoil right now, pray for them.

Daniel starts his new job on the 23rd! New fire department, new guys, new academy :( and less pay...we'll manage, he's super thrilled about it!

Dawson started full time day care today :( With Daniel starting at the new department it isn't convenient for him to keep him, so we've started him full time with Ms. Connie (she's awesome with him)I'm still a little bit bummed about it. I wish I didn't have to work, but I do...so I can't go there.

Dawson is also wearing 6 months clothes!! How is my 2.5 month old wearing 6 month clothes, you ask? Well he was 25 inches 2 weeks ago, and they don't make 3-6 months clothes long enough.

I want to cloth diaper, but it's super overwhelming, and expensive to start...I think I might not do this. Disappointing.

Yeah... cloth diapering ended up being too expensive for us too. I know it pays off "in the long run" but we just don't have the money to put into right away. Oh well... we can still make baby food and babywear. Haha.

Congrats on the jeans! I wasted $30 on some giant Target jeans as soon as I delivered. They are like clown pants now!

What are Dawson's teething symptoms? Just want to compare to Ian. Sometimes I think Ian is too.

He's chewing his hands, drooling, blowing bubbles, and I can see the little bumps in his gums at the bottom.

I bought non-preggo jeans today too! Although mine are a hefty size 12 (it was really hard to buy them actually)...I hope to be out of them soon haha - but who knows!

And teething isn't horrible - might as well get it over sooner then later!! Although what you describe is EXACTLY what Jake has been doing for over a month now - I hope he's not teething!

Yay for non-maternity jeans! I did the same, although they're larger than I'd like. :(

I think Ben's teething, too. How's this happening to all our babe's so early? We're also joining you in the 6 month clothing department. Some 6-9 month's too.

Can't we just stop time and make them stay tiny forever?!
