Diapering and other stuff
I have embarked on the world of cloth diapers! I am giving it a try with Jonah just to see what I think. I borrowed some diapers and diaper covers from LeeAnn before I make the commitment in full. I think it will be pretty easy to do with Jonah, I'll just have to be more aware of changing his diaper more often. I am also thinking of doing it with Gabriel, but I'm afraid his clothes wont fit anymore. I still have tons of 2T stuff that he hasn't worn yet, even stuff for the fall, and I really don't want to skip over those (besides that, I'm not ready to have a kiddo wearing 3T.) I still have to think about that for a while.
Jonah is doing well, he's up to 9 lb 6 oz as of Thursday. He is gaining slowly but surely, at about 1/2 and ounce a day, which is on the very low end of average. I am really trying not to force feed him to pack the weight on him. He is still so tiny and is almost 3 months old. He barely fits into his 0-3 month clothes, although now with the cloth diapers, things fit a little better. I don't want to rush through this time though because it is fun having a little guy. I just can't get use to how tiny he is. Lacey's baby was almost this size when he was born!
In other news, Andrew is staying extremely busy with school and work. I don't know how long he or I can keep this up. He is at school 8-4 most days, then comes home for a few minutes before going to work 3 days a week. It does make me enjoy the weekends with him, but before long he's going to be even busier with studying. He also has interviews for summer internships coming up very soon. We're really hoping he can get one in Waco, but it's not highly likely. He could be in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin, Tyler, or Texarkana (to name a few.) I am not sure how it will work though because he does have a family....we don't know if they help with housing for the six week internship period. We're hoping he can get two of them since they do pay fairly well. It sure would be nice to have that money for next year since he wont be able to work at all in his third year, but will still be super busy with Practice Court.
We have a couple of trips coming up. This coming weekend we're going to Nac. to visit my family. The next weekend we're going to Ruston/Monroe for a shower for Christin. We are going to be doing a lot of traveling in the remaining months of 2007, especially me and the boys. Andrew wont be able to make all the trips we do, which may be good for his studying habits, but it will probably be hard without him. I've got to toughen up though!

Sounds like y'all have a lot going on. It's always like that with a wedding in the family though. We'll make sure and pray for you guys and Andrew's intership. Just think, it'll all be worth it in the end:-)
