14 Weeks

Maya is 14 weeks old today.  We had a bit of a diaper malfunction first thing this morning.  It required a change of clothes for both of us.  She still poops all the time.  I keep expecting it to decrease but it's almost as much as when she was a newborn.  I've heard people say their breastfed baby only goes every three days or so.  Not this kid.  I'm sure me telling everyone this will embarrass her in the future so I'll apologize now (sorry, peanut).  She seems to have forgotten how to roll over.  She did once yesterday but I couldn't get her to do it at all today.  Also over the long weekend and continuing through today, she hasn't wanted to sleep.  She prefers to scream.  Last night she cried for about an hour before falling asleep.  Today the naps got progressively easier as the day went on so hopefully tomorrow will be better.  I think the weekends are hard on her since her schedule gets messed up.  Sunday's are especially bad.  She usually sleeps until 9 or 10 so we have to wake her up for church and she usually pushes her first nap back because of church also.  This generally means she is grumpy for the rest of the day and I think it carries into the next few days.  Today, other than not wanting to sleep she was happy.  You may be thinking that the sleeper below looks familiar.  We had the same sleeper in preemie, newborn, and 0-3 months sizes.  I've included pictures of her in each size so you can see how much she's grown.  It's pretty crazy.  I'd say she is probably double her birth weight now.  

It seems that I've been on a buying spree of baby stuff this weekend.  Friday I ordered a grab bag of random cloth diapers.  Those arrived today.  We got 2 different brands of pocket diapers and one fitted one.  The pocket diapers are about as easy to use as disposable diapers other than having to wash them.  They have a waterproof shell and soft liner and an absorbent pad that you put in the pocket between the two.  The fitted one needs a cover so I ordered two covers today.  Hopefully this will give us enough variety that we can see it we like cloth diapers and if so what kind.  Cloth diapers are pretty expensive up front but supposedly cheaper in the long run, especially if you use them for multiple kids and/or resell them.  I'm hoping that cloth diapers will cut down on leaking but we shall see.  Sunday we picked up a stroller.  We originally weren't sure if we would use one enough to make it worth it.  But we found a used that goes with her car seat for a good price and we figure if we end up flying this summer it will make the airport easier.
