Our First Great Cloth Diaper Change!!

Hasting & I were able to attend our very first Great Cloth Diaper Change today! We had such a great time & Hasting was such a great baby the whole time!

For those of you who are clueless as to what this event is: every year people around the world take part in an event to break the previous world record of the most cloth diapers changed at one time! It is such an amazing thing to see the record being broken every year, just to know that many more people have either converted to cloth or chosen to cloth their new babies!

Hasting & I had the privilege to take part in breaking a record & being one of the statistics in The Guiness Book of World Records :)

We went to All About Baby Boutique in Greensboro, which was where the event was being hosted the closest to us. It was so great to see so many people there, even daddies! Chad wasn't able to come because he had to work, so were hoping next year he has the opportunity.

Light refreshments were set up for everyone to enjoy & you could hop around in the boutique before & after the event. When we arrived we signed a photo consent form for all the pictures that were taken, & we also received a number! Each participant was given a number. Once we went upstairs we were escorted to the room that our number was in. Hasting & I were number 20. Each number had a big square area tapped off in a room. You had enough space for you, your baby, your diaper bag, and even another person! We also had a goodie bag waiting on us in our square :) Hasting and I won a Planet Wise Snack Bag today!

Before the change, a photographer came in, & we all held up our clean cloth & had our picture taken as a group! When 12:30pm rolled around a whistle was sounded & we all began changing our babies bum! Once we were finished we all held our babies cloth bottoms up & had another picture taken :)

It was so awesome to be a part of this and meet some wonderful people! Hasting & I can't wait to do it again next year, possibly with daddy & hopefully a baby gray #2!!

Here are a few pictures from the event:

My Honest Answer 

"Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know a heart thats broke is a heart that's been loved"..."When God takes you back he'll sing hallelujah you're home". Today we went to church, for the first time since I'm not even sure when. It's also where we had the funeral of our son. We got in the car, and I wasn't sure how I was going to handle pulling back in to that church. I think it's partially why I was secretly hoping that when we DID return back to church it would be elsewhere. But, in all fairness, I've grown very fond of Pastor Daniel and the whole congregation of that church. So I decided not to speak up to my husband about visiting a different church, because I knew once we got inside I would be happy I chose to come back to one of the places we said our final goodbyes to our son. We pulled in, and my eyes did swell with tears, but I held them back. Flashbacks from the funeral just kept cre...

Setbacks Over Progress. 

Tonight I was going through my phone, looking through old notes I had left myself in my phone. I noticed one from December 31, 2017. It was before 2018 hit us, and 10 days before our world started to  turn completely upside down.  It was a list of all the good things and accomplishments of 2017.  “Became pregnant with our fourth child”.  Just like that.  I remembered something I’ve been doing a LOT of recently. I’ve caught myself if the good moments, reflecting, but not in a good way. I look at old photos, from before Sadler, or before his pregnancy took a high risk turn, and I just bask in those moments of happiness. I try so hard to remember the happiness i felt in those photos. And just like that, hello guilt.  Almost 5 months has passed, and while there is no routine of how grief plays out, you begin to realize patterns and ways of how you deal and cope with all things associated with your grief. But as the time goes on, you start to notice thi...

My New Fav Go-To Baby Shower Gift - The Breastfeeding Support Basket

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby next month! I wanted to get her something special and meaningful. I knew she was planning to breastfeed, and since it is a topic very close to my heart, I thought a gift of things to make that journey easier for her would be special! I had a lot of fun putting it together too!  I remember what it was like when I had Hasting. Before he was born, I thought breastfeeding was something that just came natural. You just stick your child to the breast, and it was all hunky dory from there.. Easy right? Not necessarily for all new mommies. I missed out on the support that I really needed from others. Sure, I had the support of my husband. But like me, he was new at this breastfeeding thing too.. And it's not like it was something he studied. If I didn't, he surely didn't.  Support from other nursing mothers is one of the BIGESST backbones a new nursing mother can have. Breastfeeding support and help holds a big place in my heart. If it w...
