  I want to do all CD, but DH is freaked out by them. So, we are compromising and looking into GDiapers, so we have the option of the disposable inserts. (Though I am secretly building a CD stash).

  SO and I had a birthday party for a friend tonight. SO wanted to go early to help barbecue. I was wiped out by an hour in and since we live 2 blocks away I ended up going home and napping for 3 hours before heading back to a much more *exuberant* crowd. Safe to say I'm glad I left, being pregnant and sober surrounded by a bunch of drunk people having a great time is exhausting!

  I'm on the CD board and they have all said that GDiapers are not very good. I mean, I don't have experience with them myself yet but I would suggest hopping over there and searching GDiapers. Not to talk you out of anything because I don't know myself, they've just mentioned it a few times in the past few weeks over there. They have some really helpful advice!
  
  My DH isn't necessarily freaked out but he is intimidated by prefolds so he'll be using the All-In-Ones and Pockets for his changes at first until he gets the hang

  @shanicanicole- We're CDing too! I am so excited, I've started my stash and I can't wait to put them on his little tushy.

  We will also be CDing. I'm super excited for it! We're taking a 101 class next month, and I've been doing a ton of research before we actually start building our stash.

  I'm hoping to take a class too but mostly I've been lurking on all kinds of CD blogs and forums and researching reviews of diapers and wetbags on Youtube and Amazon. I get farrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too into it

  My dh was not on boats with CDing until I bought a few and showed him how easy they are. Ever since he's been their biggest fan.

  I finally told my husband I wanted to cloth diaper. He said yes with no fuss lmao. So surprising. He did say we'd have to use a diaper service though lol

  I'm not trying to say there is anything wrong with using a service, but what is his reasoning? It's really not that difficult to do them yourself

  We live in an apartment and the laundry room here is expensive and the machines smell horrible. So until we move in the fall we'd have to go to a laundromat pretty often to wash the diapers unless we bought an exuberant amount lol

  Umm...yeah...that is a VERY valid reason I would want a service too in your case! I wouldn't want to leave my diapers in a communal laundry room because it usually takes at least 3 different types of cycles (including rinses) and I would worry about someone messing with my shiz...not to mention the quality of the machines like you said.

  I hate being the sober one. It's actually not much of an issue since we don't go out much, but even in college if everyone around me was trashed, I couldn't have fun myself because I felt responsible for my then bf (now DH) and close friends. And it is definitely exhausting. I can't imagine doing it pregnant! Once I had to practically carry him up the stairs to our apartment, after fighting (good naturedly) with him for 20 minutes to get out of the car. Drunk people think stuff is waaaayyy funnier than sober people and I just wanted to go to bed! Should have just left him in the car.

  I had a dream last night that I thought one of my dogs died, and for some reason in the dream DH and I weren't married yet, and @mrscurlygurl‌ felt so bad for me about the dog dying that she offered to come to CA and marry us before the baby was born. (??). It later turned out the dog was not dead and we decided not to get married! (??). So Chinese food while pregnant is interesting! ;-)

  I had a craaaaazyyyy dream last night that I gave birth and immediately took the baby home, even though it was so premature. Also, the baby was perfectly fine, except for he hasn't grown his arms yet. (Idk what part of my mind thinks that the last thing to develop in babies is the arms...)

  
  

  Also, I had a baby swing that was like one of the amusement park swing rides. Which was awesome, but why would anyone need to swing that many babies at once?

  
  

  Haven't had a weird dream in a while. This one must have been making up for the lack of recent dream weirdness.

  Wow...I made into your dream? That's awesome. Also funny, as we had a friend marry us and DH just married some other friends in February (neither the friend or DH being ordained or anything mind you).

  My boss is full on bsc. She has had me on her shit list since I made a report to higher ups when I saw her hold a special ed student while instructing another student to punch him in the arm (to teach the special ed student a lesson????). I just received an email from her that she is denying my absence request for my next OB appointment because it is before a 3 day weekend (OB needs to check growth exactly 2 weeks from my last appointment). This means I will be docked pay for the half-day I miss...even though I have already given her the appointment note and will provide a note when I return to work. June 6th cannot get here FAST ENOUGH so I don't have to deal with this bitch anymore.

  Especially random and funny since I don't know your real name and told DH "this girl mrscurlygurl from my pregnancy board wants to marry us!" And he said "ok!" like it was totally normal and like he had any idea who you are. By "ordained" I think you just had a certificate you got online ;-)

  Girl you need to report that shit to more than just higher ups. I assume you work in an education setting so you should be a mandatory reporter. I'd call the child abuse hotline. Encouraging any kind of violence is unethical in and of itself, but when it's a special ed student involved it makes me want to vomit. And I think I might be complaining to the department of labor about her denying you paid time off that you are entitled to for a doctor's appointment you've proven you have scheduled.
  
  I don't know, maybe I'm an overreacter, but my first thought is always "Who can I talk to that can get this injustice straightened out?" I rarely just quietly put up with things.

  Apparently pregnancy gives me very strange sleep habits. I already had problems with grinding my teeth or occasionally talking in my sleep, but apparently now I moan LOUDLY for hours on end, sometimes actually yelling. Who yells in their sleep? Poor DH has had to wake me up several times because I'm keeping him awake all night with my crazy noises!

  Oh wow, that's the one everyone keeps recommending to me. 

  
  

  I've been warned you can tell some of the wording is a little dated.. 

  
  

  I haven't actually cracked it open yet, but curious why you have that reaction to it?

  
  
  It is a bit on the preachy side, and some of the suggestions are a bit over my head... Such as licking your baby to help boost milk production.

  Now I might crack it open just out of curiosity.

  Your supervisor is a horrible person. I'm sorry you have to deal with her. Maybe she'll get fired?

  Her best friend is the superintendent. This woman has had 2 lawsuits and one of the highest turnover rates in the district... I'm just glad I have the option to move out of the area so I can work in a different district after LO is here.

  You can drink a coffee. Go, run, get the coffee!
  
  Also, that freaking sucks about your boss. I've had bad admins too, but was fortunate to never be on the receiving end of their absurdness. Good luck to you!
