Remember the time that going to the grocery store used to be just that… a trip to the store.  Well, now with two babies to look after alone during the day, that little trip to the store is a full blown outing. (For all the moms reading this… I know that you do it like everyday… but guess what… guys are not the same)

First of all, you have to get all ready and get the diapers changed before heading out, and that usually takes a few minutes, and sure enough… as soon as you get them both changed, one of them has a diaper blowout and you need to do a whole outfit change.  Then you need to change the other ones diaper again before finally getting all loaded up into the car.

So you get to the store and the baby is sleeping and the toddler is going out soon.  Since the baby was sleeping, I kept him in the car seat and tossed him in the basket of the cart (the Orbit car seat is weird and wont fit on the top like most car seats do).  This took up the entire cart and there was no room for the toddler seat, so she had to walk.  Unfortunately she was out cold and I had to carry her, and drag the shopping cart, stuffing groceries around the side of the seat.

When I got to the check outline… I realized that I must have left my wallet at home, so I abandoned the cart and took off.

A few hours later after nap time, I tried for round two.  I had only one request from my wife… her special shavers.  The first store that I went to didn’t have them so I just said fuck it, left, and went to another store.  That store didn’t have them either (time for a new brand).

Anyway, I spent all day going to the store… next time I am just ordering in from Safeway.com.  They deliver.

The lesson here is…

wait until the wife comes home, and then go to the store or just don’t go… until i possess the multitasking skills.

Well guys… its finally time for me to get back on the clock.  I have really been neglecting this blog as I have been doing lots of stuff lately to fill what little time I had left in my semi-normal life.  Now, when I say that… I mean that as lots of you know, we had a little boy in January, and my wife has been home on maternity leave for the past 4 and half months.  Now she is going back to work… and I will again be joining the ranks of a Full Time Stay At Home Dad.

Right now I am putting the finishing touches on a deck/kid cage in the back yard, and finishing us some last fix-its before my time is all gone.  Also I just got a email from the Normandy Park Swim Club, saying that I can join the club on a rental basis for the entire summer.  This really makes me happy, now I will be able to take the kids down to the pool all summer.  And you can bring a cooler, beer, BBQ stuff.  Paradise.

Last night, I had my first “real alone time” with both kids.  My wife went on a little shopping trip, and then to a movie… leaving me with little girl, and the 4 week old boy for like 6 hours.  The first few hours were pretty hectic… but then I got to feed the boy for the first time.  He has only been boob fed until now.  We have about 60-80 bags (our freezer is full of boob juice) ready for the eating.  As soon as it was time to feed the boy, I thawed out some milk and gave him his first bottle.  He drank it all up… 9 oz of it!  Then he quickly filled up a bunch of diapers before falling asleep.

With Wyatt sleeping, I was free to concentrate on getting the girl bathed and tucked in to bed.  The night went really well.  Usually the boy will want demand some food every two to three hours.  But I think that this time he got really full.  He slept from 8-1:30am.  Then mom came home and hooked him up when he got up.

I have a chance at surviving two kids after all.

How many diapers do you use in a year…?  I was wondering that very same questions form myself, so I tried to do a little math

I have two kids in diapers so…

right now, I think that I change about 10 12 a day for my newborn, and about 8-10 for my 21mth old.  So lets just round down to an average of 17 a day, 119 a week, about 476 a month, and 6,664 a year.  So lets say that they are in diapers for only two years… thats at the very least 13,328 diapers.  I wonder what that looks like.  How big would the pile be.?

Here is video that show us some diaper facts…

dont get me wrong… I will never use disposable diapers… and we use this many a year…
