Those of you who know me well know that I’m a bit of a cloth diaper nut. I was rather sad when #2 finally toilet-trained, as it meant packing away all that beautiful fluff for an indefinite period of time.
In the few years since then the cloth diaper market has exploded and they’ve become much more accessible to the average consumer. Accompanying this trend, natural laundry washes, soaps and detergents have multiplied on store shelves — increasing consumer options and leaving me feeling, at times, as though I went to university just to be able to read the ingredients labels on cleaning products.

Regarding my news of last week, I was on the right track by not getting excited about stuff. Two blood tests and a whole lot of gravity later, it was pretty apparent that this pregnancy wasn’t going to stick. All things considered, short of being annoyed at my body not working the way that it should, I think I’m a little relieved. I really didn’t care to be *that* pregnant in February again. After 2.5yrs of ttc, part of me thinks I should be more disappointed but I’m really pretty okay about it — mentally anyway. Even being “just a little bit” pregnant has resulted in a nasty cycle and has left me gasping for iron supplements. Spinach is on the menu tonight, and maybe some cow done rare.

I deliberated over whether or not this was something I wanted to share here yet. There are definate pros and cons to both sides of the issue but in the end I figured I’d post about it as, if it all went toes over nose, I’d want to feel free to post about bad news.

I resort to lists too often. Today is my first day in the house by myself for the full day, as DH started his new job this past Friday (and #2 is half days on Monday and I work on Tuesdays). I made a big list and only have one significant entry left to accomplish. Yay me! Yay lists!
Still, there are always more brief disjointed comments I can jot down about what’s going on with me:

I’ve been working at The Extraordinary Baby Shoppe for a number of weeks now — surrounded by the latest and greatest in diapering technology, but managing to avoid caving to my diaper-lust. Until now, at least.
