"Children are the orgasms of life. Just like you did not know what an orgasm was before you had one, nature does not let you know how great children are until you actually have them."
Now I can't speak from experience as to whether or not that is true but I thought the shear cheek of comparing kids to orgasms was too funny to not share :)
"The pursuit of happiness is the source of all unhappiness."
So that is what I have been doing wrong!
"Stress is related to 99% of all illness."
And is it related to 99% of all infertility issues as well? If so, how do you get rid of the stress in your life? Unfortunately, I must report that I searched through all of the quotes on the back of the magazine for the answer to this question and all I got was a pitch for yoga, vitamins, and "going green." I guess yoga magazines don't have ALL the answers... ;)
On gdiapers... As I mentioned in previous posts I have purchased what are called gdiapers. They are a combination of cloth and disposable diapers with disposable inserts that go inside cloth covers. The inserts are flushable or throw away-able and when thrown away take only 90 days to decompose as opposed to something ridiculous like 500 years for regular disposable diapers. My mom and dad will be rolling their eyes at this point as they always have when I get on my little environmental soap box. If "going green" isn't for you, feel free to roll your eyes right now, too :)
I'm definitely unsure how well they will work with a newborn so I have a stock of disposable diapers just in case. However, one of the ladies on my adoption discussion board recently posted a review of the diapers on her blog (click here to see review) and gave them very high marks. So I really hope they work. They are also "green" in that the cost is comparable to disposables, if not a little cheaper. Mostly they are so cute that whenever I look at them I can't wait to see how much cuter they look on a beautiful little baby boy!
Here are pictures of the diapers that I have purchased so far. They recommend you have 4 on hand and in my friend's review she whole heartedly agrees.
This is a shot of what the diapers look on the inside. The disposable inside fits into the plastic thingy you can see.
Well, thanks for letting me share my random thoughts with you this evening! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

hey snake, where did you get your new background?
Hey Rhiannon! I went to the background template page under "Customize" and selected the background that we both had and then clicked the toggle for "dark dots" to get the new background. It is kind of tricky because the toggles don't stick out, but you can use them to change the color on the background template. Hopefully this helps! Are you thinking of going "dark dots", too? I feel like pictures stand out more with the dark background so that is why I made the change.
ok, cool! yeah I was wondering b/c there arent' that many backgrounds. The darker color does make everything stand out more! I might have to give it a try!
Hey there, Thanks for the link to my blog! I hope you like the gDiapers, too. They are seriously too cute... and those little covers, awwww, too too cute. Can't wait to hear you're putting someone in them. :)
I love your blog so far! (kcrum from ttc) I am especially interested in those gdiapers! I am a hippy like that too! People around the office are always looking at me funny because I walk around and take bottles and cans out of trash cans to bring home to recycle! I hope time goes fast for you!
I think those G diapers are the cutest things and a great sounding alternative to cloth diapers which frankly I'm not comfortable handling! lol Can't wait to see your cutie in them!
