happiness

[smittenbyu]

• I am just feeling oh so happy! My back aches after 15 minutes of sitting down and I have been making up my own version of downward dog and child's pose on the couch with a bunch of pillows to relieve and taking "walks" around the apartment and at times nearly crying... but a little kick from the baby sends me out into these burst of joy and smiles from ear to ear! 
• I have been reading up on cloth diapers today and am still confused as to how you wash them?! I really don't want to be using disposables unless we are traveling. I should go visit one of the stores to check them out in person. I learn better that way than just reading about it. MIL was rather amused to learn how cloth diapering in the US is a growing business with so many different options!!! Also as mom is coming from Bangalore, she could get a stash of inserts and stuff from India. That would also help with the cost. But yeah, what is the process of actually washing them? I was thinking to use disposables for the first two-three months and then maybe make the switch. Just to make it more convenient as this is the first kid and am not sure how hubby and I will be handling it. Or maybe use disposables for night time in the first three months. But again.... I need to know how do you wash them?! :) 
• Then I read that some change all their detergents, shampoos and everything else in the house to more baby friendly products.... umm do people really do this? Or is it done when the baby shows adverse skin reactions?
• Some friends have been asking if we have started our registry yet. We haven't. We kind of feel strange doing it. Anyhow, while N is traveling my job is to research out all basic items needed and some of them we will put on the registry.

Somehow studying for my MBA seemed "easier'!!
