Reason # 2: Emery now loves to change her baby's diaper. First, she looks down the back of the diaper to check for poop. Of course the baby ALWAYS has a dirty diaper, so she has to change it. Since the diaper the baby was wearing is "dirty", she has to get a clean diaper. She'll go through a stack of diapers if I let her. I've tried to trick her into reusing a diaper, but it usually doesn't work. She lets me help her to lay the baby on the diaper, but she insists on doing the rest herself.
In case you're wondering.......of course we use the "dirty" baby diapers on the kids afterwards. Sometimes the velcro is a little worn out by then, but we don't waste diapers! Pete has even asked if we can lay the swim diapers out to dry and reuse them (they are expensive!). I vetoed that one...... :-)

Congrats! Exciting about baby #3! As for swim diapers, I read on an environmentally frindly site a few weeks ago, that a good rinse and then laid out to dry, they can be reused, atleast a few times. I tried it this week and by god, it worked! We don't usually wear them for long and I wouldn't do it for a "dirty" diaper, but hey, worth a shot!
Congrats! Wow you will have your hands full! I remember being exhausted when I was pregnant and I was not chasing toddlers around! Good luck!

Congratulations! This is exciting news!
On the diaper front, I bought a pack of generic newborn diapers for my boys to diaper their babies. It was about $5 for a pack of 30 and kept them entertained for a long long time!
Hey Shelley! I've been catching up on the multiples Mommy's blog and had to check yours out. Congrats! #3 at our house has been such a blessing and I'm sure it will be for you too! And I ditto what Aimee said, I read the same thing somewhere, just can't remember where...

Shelley! YAY- excited for you guys!!! How are you feeling? I'm sure Gavin and Emery will be FABULOUS big brother and sister to the new baby! Congrats!!
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you all. We're hoping to have a third but no luck. And it will be hard not to blog about it right away and wait the alotted time. :)
Oh WOW! Congratulations on #3!!
Dito what Laura said on the diapers. Our boys would wear out the velcro, so it was really hard to re-use them after "baby" needing constant diaper changes. Now "baby" has his/her own set of diapers. :)
Again, congrats! Can't wait to read about the journey!
Yay!!! Hope you feel well. The summer plus pregnant plus 2 toddlers is no fun. Thankfully your family is close and hopefully they can help. Congrats!
