    Fluff Friday: How I wash cloth diapers

    June 12, 2015 - By 

    Welcome to my first Fluff Friday, where I’ll be sharing my reviews and experiences with cloth diapering Lil’ Ziggy! To start things off, I’m going to talk to you about my washing routine for cloth diapers. It’s really not as hard, time consuming or… gross… as some people think! I’ve found a routine that works for me after doing lots of research on other cloth diapering websites. Some routines are over-the-top complicated and I just don’t have the energy for that. With this routine, I don’t have to overthink anything, and my diapers come out nice and clean, ready for…

    Baby Update – 36 Weeks!

    February 11, 2015 - By 

    How far along: 36 weeks, which I believe is officially “9 months” now! Baby size: Lil Ziggy is almost 6 lbs and 19 inches long, according to Babycentre. Belly: I don’t even know what to say about it. I mean, I did miss last week’s belly pic, but it still seems SO. MUCH. BIGGER. than my 34-week update! Here it is: And how I really feel (excuse the blurriness): Sleep: It hasn’t been too bad lately, to be honest. I haven’t been waking up as much during the night, usually only once to use the washroom. The worst part of…

    Baby Update – 32 Weeks!

    January 13, 2015 - By 

    How far along: 32 weeks. Only 8 weeks left to go. HOLY CRAP! Baby size: Lil’ Ziggy is about 3.75 lbs and 17 inches long. I don’t doubt it. Belly: My belly pic seems to make it look like my belly is oddly pointy this week, but I think it’s just the jeans I’m wearing. I don’t think there’s a HUGE difference in terms of how big my belly is. It definitely feels heavy though. Sleep: Engh, I have my good nights and my not-so-good nights. Sunday night, I went to bed early and had almost a completely solid sleep for over 7…

    Baby Update – 31 Weeks and Which Stroller I Chose

    January 6, 2015 - By 

    How far along: 31 weeks. According to lots of sites, next week is the start of month 8. This means I only have 9 weeks to go. We’re down to single digits, folks! Baby size: According to BabyCentre, Lil’ Ziggy weighs approximately 3.3 lbs and is about 16 inches long from head to toe. Belly: I didn’t really think there was much of a change from last week to this week, but judging by this week’s picture, I do believe my belly is sticking out more. Yay belly! Sleep: Oh how I miss it. Zig goes crazy almost every night,…

    Baby Update – 30 Weeks!

    December 30, 2014 - By 

    If I look tired and irritable in my belly pic this week, it’s because I’m both tired and irritable. How far along: 30 weeks – only 10 weeks to go now! Unless I’m one of the many first timers who overshoot their due date by another week. Baby size: Babycentre is saying that Lil’ Ziggy is about 15.7 inches long, and weighs almost 3 whole lbs. From now on, he’ll mostly just be putting on weight rather than getting a whole lot longer (I hope). Belly: I don’t really FEEL bigger, but I think my belly is ever so slightly more out there…
