Yes, today is the day I've been dreading for the past week: immunization day.
The shots went relatively well; F was already cranky and crying before shot got the shots and just screamed harder when the nurse poked her. My poor kid; I think she's teething. I wouldn't be surprised because I had my first teeth when I was 4 months old and she's almost three months now. Gods... how time flies! She's also growing like a mutant weed and is going to be this tall willowy child of Nature - she's already 24 1/4 inches long!! Guess it helps when Daddy is 6'3" lol.
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try and go cloth diapers again - I've had horrible experiences with the ones mom bought. They're the ones that you have to fold and then pin and then wear a plastic-ish cover. I had no problem with the folding and F seemed to be comfortable and yet in less than an hour she has soaked through the diaper AND her outfits! I had given up hope until I found the most AMAZING diapers at the local natural foods store - gDiapers! They have disposable/compostable liners but however convenient though, I think I would just make some liners instead and save on having to buy the packs of liners...I figure if I bought the starter pack (includes two 'shells', 4 snap-in waterproof liners and 10 of the disposable liners) I'd be good and then get new 'shells' every now and then. The prices seem to differ though so I want to get the best bargain. Better Baby Bums has it for $32 but ships them out of Vancouver so I'd have to pay through the nose for shipping ($15 according to the website!) to Ontario - total purchase $49.33. Ecomama list the kit at $37 and it located right near the house (bonus for convenience the owner, Nathalie, even offered to drop it off at the house on her way to the post office which just happens to be in front of my house!) - total purchase $42.75. Finally, Neardly bought hers at Pantry Plus and paid $44 plus tax. SO - think it's worth my while??
