Things I Can(not) Live Without

Here is a list of things that I cannot live without at this stage in the game. I would like to note that I am perfectly aware I could, realistically live without everything on the list. I just have no desire to do that. Also, I am perfectly aware that most of you do not care about this post. I just wanted to remember it if I ever decide to do this crazy thing again.

• Prefold Diapers - Holds everything all the time. Easy to change. Easy to clean. I am not sure how I am going to like the fancy pants diapers I have for Jacy when she gets older. If you have not tried prefolds, I highly recommend them.
• Video Monitor - Our house is super small and I could hear Jacy cry no matter where I am. The thing that makes the monitor so cool is that I can check on her without going in and letting her see me. This has also made sleeping easier because I do not have to get out of bed to see that it was a "in her sleep cry/coo" and not a "wake up and feed me lady cry". This has been awesome. We have a Summer Infant brand. LOVE IT!
• Tie Dyed Onesies. Too fun.Thanks Mellisa
• Changing Table - I do not like changing her anywhere else. It is too hard and stressful for me. I know I am crazy. (NOTE - We do not actually have a changing table. Just a changing pad thingy mounted to a dresser.)
• Breast Pump - Helped me through some tough spots.
• Colace and Tucks Pads - Also helped me through some tough spots.
• Bouncer Seat - Ours has some highfalutin name. I can't remember right now. It does everything. Thanks Aunt Rachelle and Aunt Donna. This thing keeps her awake and happy. CRAZY
• Swing - She falls asleep instantly.Sometimes it scares me!
• Moby Wrap - This should be called "Lets you get the dishes done machine." I love this. I get to snuggle my baby and write this blog post. WIN!
• My husband - He is the bomb. He knows that Jacy likes "jumps" and can change a prefold in his sleep. He also comes home for lunch and sometimes lets me get in a nap. He tells me to knock it off when I am being crazy. He watches TV with me in the evening even though he doesn't care for it because that is all I can do at this point.

The funny thing about this list is that these are not the things I thought I would find useful (with the exception on my husband) Parenthood is a trip.

NOTE - It took me 2, no 3, days and multiple attempts to write this.
