Who knew?!

Who knew that day care for an infant would cost more than a house payment every month?!?! I've been calling around to some larger facilities and they range anywhere from $250 per week up to $295 per week! I walked to throw up on the phone. I don't know how people do it. Honestly. If it were at all possible, I'd just stay home, but it's not right now, so I don't really give it much more than a quick thought. But at $12000+ a year, that's the cost of private school for a grade school child at a top notch facility here!

Diaper Drama

Last night I went to Meijer to do some grocery shopping and decided to begin our stockpile of diapers. Now, please keep in mind, I have recently found out that I have Gestational Diabetes and have to attend a class on eating right, so I've filled the cart already with lots of good, healthy, low carb/low sugar foods....so, I'm standing in the diaper aisle and suddenly it hit me. I was completely overwhelmed. I was staring at rows and rows of diapers. Pamper, Huggies, Luvs, the off brands, the organic brand. Then the sizes. Preemie, newborn, and sizes 1 through 5. Holy hell. I had no clue there were so many choices. Do you buy a big box, a medium box of a few of those "sleeves"? Do you try a few in one brand and see how they work, or just bite the bullet and buy the case and hope they are fine? I was bawling. I had no idea what I was doing. I ended up buying the biggest box of huggies brand diapers they had. It was only a few dollars more than the pampers, but you got 100 more diapers. Little Lucy will just have to like them! Who ever knew diapers could cause so much drama?!?!
