In Which I Plead for a Better Diaper
I have been sick and tired, quite literally, I got a cold that will not let me sleep with out coughing. It is really quite annoying. I have also developed an allergy to the cold medicine I have been taking, because I broke out into hives even though the night time version has an antihistamine in it. Jim stayed home today at my request, to help chase the speed crawler and let me get some rest. We ended up making a quick trip to Wal-Mart and to the one of the schools where Jim teaches for a quick visit.
The trip to the store was for a different brand of diapers, I have a box of Costco brand but they don't seem to fit her skinny bum. The leak a little and her onsies get damp when she pees, I don't think that is normal. We had some Wal-Mart brand ones that I took to China and they seem to be a little smaller so we are hoping less gapping. Please if you have a miracle no leak diaper suggestion for skinny mini kids let me know! Jim got the pleasure of opening up a leaky poopy diaper tonight. I heard a cry for help coming from Chloe's room and I found a poor crying baby (Jim not Chloe ha ha ha) Mom came to the rescue and it really was not as bad as all the screaming but still a reason for a bettering fitting diaper.
On the way to the store Chloe took about a 20 minute nap which she apparently thought was enough for the day, since she would not do down for another one this afternoon. So at bedtime she was really tired and fell asleep almost immediately. I expect to hear her about midnight wanting a bottle because she was not really into dinner either. Oh well, I will be up coughing any way, I might as well sneak a midnight cuddle with my girl.

This is how she fell asleep tonight, lovey on face and all.
She loves books and brings them too us all the time to read.
She still loves Gypsy although Gypsy has learned to hide from her when she needs a break.

One of the first pieces of advice I received from a fellow adoption mom was "Luvs" works best for their "tiny bums". Guess I will find out in a few short weeks. Hope your feeling better soon.

I'm sorry you've been sick. I think that's the hardest time to be a mom.
My daughter definitely had a little bum and we had the best luck with Huggies and Luvs. I tried lots of brands, but I think leaky diapers just happen sometimes. Oddly enough, it always seemed like lots of leaks meant that it was time to go up a size. I dunno about this Chloe's case, though.
