Congratulations on your adorable new little one! (a big little guy, though, no?)

Just wanted to say that we made a similar mistake with the gdiaper -- only I was the one (not my husband) who didn't follow directions with the swishy wand. I love the concept, but we have dual-flush toilets that don't have the same oomph; after that episode, we decided to just do a combination of seventh generation and bumgenius cloth.

Sounds like you're a pretty brave and capable mom! I'm impressed that you left the house so soon. I was basically a homebody for the first 10 weeks.

Wow, I can only imagine how to fill in the holes on the gdiaper story, and all possiblities aren't good ones. :)

Good for you for getting out of the house! I didn't get out on my own until she was three months. Seriously, I had no clue (granted I had surgery, but still). My first trip with Eric was to Babies R Us, and even that made me a nervous wreck.

I've noticed that I stop every woman with a baby younger than Emmeline and say good job just for getting out of the house...it's harder than it sounds!

Good job!!!!
