Ms. Cheyanne Elizabeth


Cheyanne Elizabeth(Izzy) is a beautiful baby girl who loves to babble, laugh and is full of smiles. She cries, like everyone, when she is hungry or dirty. Her daddy and mommy ( Robbie and I) strive to give her the best life possible, full of hugs, kisses, smiles and tons of unconditional love.

Robbie works full time, I work screwy hours. Izzy spends the hours we are at work with the family. She loves to visit her grandparents, aunts and uncles and anyone else who wants to love on and cuddle with her. We happily have a cuddle bug who is just as content and happy cuddled up in your arms, or laying on the floor playing, or playing in her lamb swing that Gramy got her.

Our beautiful little girl has her beautiful little bum cloth diaper clad when mommy has her and sports sposies the rest of the time (mommy is trying to convert the family). Daddy is SLOWLY making the switch to cloth as he is realizing how much sposies cost, and how easy cloth is. He's also realized that soon I'm not going to have anymore disposables laying around the house to use.

She goes to all her doctors appointments, has all her vaccines, takes all her meds and smiles through everything. Izzy has grown to tolerate her breathing treatment at night, and will not take her bottle until she has gotten her 'apple sauce,' it's kinda funny to watch.

Izzy is a happy, healthy 5 almost 6 month old baby girl. She is a tiny 11 lbs but has gained SO MUCH since the day she was born. We were thrilled when the doctor said she had hit double digits on the scale. She's almost 2 feet tall, with a head full of hair, bright blue eyes that glitter when she flashes her iconic huge gummy smile.

Ms. Cheyanne Elizabeth, Izzy has Cystic Fibrosis.

Rise and Shine.... or not

We have a problem... Izzy is a morning baby and mommy is not.

Days of Cloths.... Nights are negotiable

It's diaper laundry day and I've come to a sanity bringing decision... We are going to use cloth during the day and disposable at night until we have enough cloth to last for more than a day with a little extra.

I just have a hard time with all my cute cloth having oompa loompa orange stains from vitamin poo at night and early morning. And to top it off I'm not a morning person and Izzy is... I'm doing good to get her toxic diaper to the trash much less to the potty to be rinsed! Hopefully I can work it so that I have 2 or so inserts that are stained and that's it.... I guess this means I'll have to start counting orange poo diapers and noting when they are... Wish me luck!

Blogging and Cell Phones

Ok so I'm blogging from my phone and editing and or finishing posts when I have time to get to a computer... So please keep that in mind.

Done with Sposies

Ok so I think I'm done buying disposable diapers... Izzy has enough cloth for a day or two, we have several size 1 sopsies and Kellys Closet has a give away weekly. So yay for Fluff Fridays, and here's to no more trips to get disposables!

God's Love


I find myself more and more just sitting and watching Izzy in amazement. She's 5 months old and this little person we were so anxious to meet has a voice and personality and is trying so hard to communicate with us. Her bright eyes and coos and even her projectile sneezes are a daily amazement for me and just demonstrate God's love AND the wonders of modern medicine.

Cell Phone Blogging

Ok so blogging on your phone is difficult.... So please understand I'm working with limitations here..... But I can post SUPERCUTE pics!

Dollars and Diapers

So our 5 month old, Izzy, is just now over 9 pounds. I got super stoked when I had to return a box of newborn size disposeable diapers for size 1. I decided not to get another box, but two small bags instead, we are SLOWLY making the switch to cloth.
I decided and talked my boyfriend into cloth right after I found out I was pregnant. I did tons of research and decided on gDiapers because they were really the only ones I could find anything out about. Then I stumbled on to Kelly's Closet, and the addiction began. I talked to daddy to be and we decided to order just a few diapers and see what we thought before we jumped in head first, I placed an order for Fuzzibumz, and Gro Baby and waited.
Fluffy mail came, and I was excited to see what it was all about! We liked both diapers but thought we'd like the aplix on the gro baby better than snaps, but knew we would have to wait for the baby to see what really worked.
