Change can be a good thing!

I was given an opportunity to try a product I had never used before, Green Works laundry detergent by Clorox. Personally one of the biggest factors for me with laundry detergent is the smell of it, so as soon as it arrived the first thing I did was open it up to see if I could tolerate the smell of it or not. I was extremely surprised at how fresh and clean the smell was! It isn't over powering and you can tell just from the smell of it how gentle Green Works really is. I love that it is environment friendly and actually works!
I first used the product on my clothes after giving birth to my second child and believe me after coming home from the hospital my clothes were desperate for a washing! Green Works lifted any stains I had on my clothes, cleaned and freshened them better than my old laundry detergent did. Since I was so impressed with how great of a job the product did on my clothes I decided to use it on my baby's clothes as well. Everyone knows that babies need soaps that are gentle on their delicate skin so why not use a soap that is made from natural plant based ingredients? You can really tell the strength of the product if it can clean a young child's clothes! The real benefit of using using Green Works on the baby's clothes is the fact that I don't need to do two separate loads of laundry. It is such a pain having to do a separate load of laundry using baby detergent  for 3 or 4 items and it cost more with water and so on! Now I don't have to worry about that and I can throw in my baby's sleepers, blankets or whatever with mine, that is convenience at its finest! 

Just in the nick of time!

So it finally happened two weeks ago, we had our baby boy! At about four a.m. my water broke and so we quickly packed the car and began our four hour drive to my dr. in my home town. Some people may think that is crazy but I needed to be where I felt comfortable. As we were driving my contractions began and started to become closer and closer which started to concern me since we still had another hour of driving to go. We stopped at a hospital that was about 45 minutes from where we were headed to see if we could continue the trip or not. I got the go ahead from the doctor at the hospital telling me that I was 3 cms dilated and that I would be ok to get to my doctor. By the time we pulled into the parking lot at my hospital I couldn't even walk due to the pain and how close my contractions had become. With in about two hours of arriving at the hospital it was time to start pushing and my little miracle was born!
I am so happy that the pregnancy is over with and my little boy is here. I can't believe how much he looks like his big brother! I pulled out some new born pictures of Liam the other day and compared them to Hayden and the resemblance is amazing!
It has been very nice to have my husband home with me for the past couple of weeks to help out with everything, I just hope that the army gives him next week off as well. I'll give my husband credit, he has been an amazing help to me I just wish he had boobs! Liam isn't interested in the baby, but isn't uninterested either. I think at this point he just thinks the baby is boring and would rather play with his friends or watch tv.
Overall things are going pretty well around our house with the exception of lack of sleep! With that being said I need to go and take a nap before I kick myself later for not sleeping with my little love bugs was. : )
