<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In <a href="http://www.ohsobeautifulbug.blogspot.com/2012/10/happy-anniversary.html" target="_blank">my post last year</a>, I said <i>" I take you for better or for worse, even if the better comes after the worse." </i>And I meant it 110%. Marriage isn't a game or a joke, it's a commitment you make to your spouse for the<i> rest </i>of your life no matter what. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Friday night, we had some friends over and I had no idea what to make as a snack. I was thinking something sweet, but then something healthy. I came across this dip and it was perfect! It makes a lot and tastes great. We dipped apples and strawberries, but I did dip my finger in there a few times because it was just that good!</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Blend cream cheese, Cool Whip, and brown sugar in a mixer on medium speed anywhere between 5-10 minutes, or until smooth. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix again. It's preferred that you refrigerate overnight, but at least one hour will do. Enjoy!</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After work, I picked up Bug and we went to our favorite place, Target. Mommy shops while she gets a kids cookie, but she wasn't in the greatest mood. It was a long exhausting day for her, she played hard that day with a short nap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As we're standing in line, Bug starts crying, arching her back, and yelling. I feel my face get red as the man in front of me looks at me and smiles. I can't help but think what these people may be thinking of me. Do they think I'm a bad mom? Do they think I can't control my child? Do they think she is a brat? We stood there in line for what seemed like 15 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After checking out, we walk towards the car, barely pushing the cart because I'm trying to hold Bug and calm her down, I strap her into her car seat while she cries and yells. I shut the door and take a deep breath, trying to enjoy the silence before the drive home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I get in the car and start to drive off, she continues to cry and then I hear silence. I look back and she says "Hold my hand mommy" and it made me realize this is a phase and it won't be like this for long. The tantrums, the crying, the always wanting mommy, the rub my leg before I go to bed and the pull over on the side of the road to see the cows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've never fully embraced tantrums until now, I realize she isn't giving me a hard time, she's having a hard time and this too will fly by. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love having every weekend off now, I can actually do fun things with Bug. This weekend, we went to an Ice Cream Festival. There was unlimited ice cream, ice cream samples and lots of giveaways. I <strike>like</strike> love ice cream, so even though I was drenched in sweat, it was pretty tasty and I think Bug would agree.</span></div>

Yes, I was 19 years old and pregnant, but have you seen the show Teen Mom? As I took extreme offense to this, the majority of those girls don't have their lives together. I always wanted to be a young mom, why? It's just what I envisioned as I don't believe age defines how you are as a parent and there are pros and cons at any age. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Being a young mom, I got many glares, especially to see my wedding finger, I was asked if my pregnancy was planned and I was told on numerous occasions that I was a baby having a baby. I was beginning to realize that I was being stereotyped as 'Teen Mom'. And I didn't like it. At all.</span><br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As I got further into my pregnancy, I learned to grow a backbone. Who were these people to judge me? They had no idea who I was. Seeing a young woman, pregnant, automatically they get a bad reputation.
And to be honest, it really sucks.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Being stereotyped isn't fun. And starting out as a young mother was a challenge for me, but I wouldn't change anything. Some ask me <i>Well don't you wish
that you would have finished college? Don't you wish that you would have waited? </i><i><br /></i>Not one bit, my daughter is my world and she has taught me so much at such a young age. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know that I was
meant to be a mother and I we will have more children despite of what people think of my age. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Why I love being a young mom</u></span></span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I have so much energy at the age of 21 </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't feel that my "time is ticking" when it comes to having kids</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I get more years to love on my children</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Your body can adjust easier when you're young rather than older </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've accepted the fact that I will get glares, I will get those stupid questions and people will say the rudest comments, but who cares, I love my daughter unconditionally and nobody could ever question that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ever get into the argument which job is harder, a working mom or one who stays at home? That is one of my most hated debates along with breastfeeding or formula. I believe <i>all</i> mothers are working mothers.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1) <b>Get up earlier than the kids.</b> It's so much easier to get yourself ready without the kids awake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2) <b>Prepare lunches the night before.</b> This was hard for me to do at first, I always told myself no big deal, I'll wait until the morning, but the next morning, I was rushing to pack lunches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3) <b>Clean up after dinner.</b> This is another thing that was hard for me, after dinner, I wanted to relax not clean, but if I don't do it right after we eat, chances are I won't be cleaning until the next day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Month 24: June 16 - July 16, 2013 </i></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Growth:</u> Bug is in the 96% for height and weight! She has always been in the 90% for both even before I had her! I guess it's to be expected when you deliver at 37 weeks with an 8lbs 2oz baby!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Words:</u> We have a chatter box on our hands and I love it! Hearing her little voice melts my heart. She started putting words together like: I see Daddy, Mommy open door and well, you get the point. She knows "Please" and "Thank you". And she picked up on some new words: Pictures, chocolate milk, instead of saying Momma/Dada, she now started saying Mommy/Daddy, cutest thing! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Eating:</u> She does not like grilled chicken, but loves strawberries, blueberries and apples. For the first time, she had a cup full of chocolate milk and now loves it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Favorites:</u> Her blankie is still her favorite which she must have at naps/bedtime, she also loves to push her play stroller around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Colors:</u> We've started learning colors, blue seems to be her favorite color, but she can also identify pink and purple. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Counting:</u> She can count to 10 with me, I say 1, she says 1, I say 2, she says 2 and so on. She has counted to 7 by herself. Way to go, Buggy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Light switches:</u> Every light/fan is on in our house, I'm not sure what it is about light switches, but she loves turning them on!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Big girl bed:</u> This is what we call her toddler bed, at first, she was waking up in the middle of the night, but now she is adjusting well. However, if I put her down, she insists on her door being left opened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u>Potty training:</u> On July 11, 2013 she started wearing Dora big girl panties! We aren't in them full-time, but we'll be there soon!</span>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398208948064294429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271150268249371425.post-47582958187059686932013-07-15T12:47:00.001-07:002013-07-15T12:47:56.940-07:00Super Mom<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I want to do it all, work full-time, stay at home with Bug, have a spotless house, make all my meals homemade, workout at least 4 times a week and have a date night once a week or every other week. Sounds like a lot, huh? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are some moms who make everything look easy. They're the
ones who always seem so calm and organized, even as
they’re running in a million different directions. We look at those moms and often ask
ourselves, “How does she do it?” Well, here’s a little secret: If you’re
a mom who is reading this sentence, then you can bet that somewhere, at
some time, someone has seen those qualities in you. That’s because
every mom has unique talents, whether it’s knowing how to build a
volcano for the science fair, roast the perfect Thanksgiving turkey or
simply balance her own checkbook. The problem with most of us moms is
that we’re often quick to recognize the talents of others, while
magnifying our own faults. The reality is that every mom
leads a hectic and busy life, but each has her own way of keeping it
all under control. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My greatest talent is, I can have the cleanest house. Having a messy house, is my biggest pet peeve of them all. It's like a terrible itch that I can't reach. Seeing laundry piles, dishes, dirt on the floor, trash needing to be taken out and etc. bothers me like you wouldn't believe, but truth be told, I don't always feel like cleaning, sometimes I want to forget about the mess and just spend time with my family. I have to let it go and not stress about it. I once read something that said <b>"Please excuse the mess, the children are making memories."</b> and that stuck with me. Children will not remember the spotless house you had or all the homemade meals you made, but the quality time that was spent with them. And so this is a challenge for myself, I will try to let go of this ( a little). After all, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">But children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!</span></span></div>

</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It was June 15, 2011 at 8:00am and we were at the specialist preparing from my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniocentesis" target="_blank">amniocentesis.</a> A few weeks prior, my OB told me if I want any chance of a vaginal birth, Bug needed to come soon because her size was already large enough and I wouldn't be able to delivery a big baby due to my narrow pelvis. At 36 weeks, my belly measured 41 weeks! The specialist laid me down and got the needle ready, her assistant placed the ultrasound on my belly to see where Bug was. As soon as she placed the needle in me, Bug jumped to the opposite side of my belly. She took fluid out which was going to be tested to see if her lungs were developed, if they were, we would be having a baby the next day. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I went home while Matt headed to work and I sat by the phone all morning waiting for that phone call. 3:00pm rolls around and I'm still wondering what is going on, then Matt calls and says "Pack our bags, the doctor called and said Bugs' lungs are developed and you're getting induced tonight!" I have never been so excited and scared at the same time. We were finally going to have our rainbow baby!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span class="st"><em>A "rainbow baby" is a baby that is born following a miscarriage or still birth.</em></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span class="st"><em></em></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span class="st"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">While I was excited, our house was a complete disaster and I only had 2 hours before we had to head to the hospital! Luckily, my aunt came over to help me pack and clean up.</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span class="st"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span class="st"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We headed to the hospital at 5:00pm with an endless amount of bags and baby stuff. As we were checking in, I was reminded that I could not eat anything past midnight. Um, that's great because I haven't eaten all day. So I sent the hubby out to get food (that's what they're there for, right?) and he got Taco Bell. Really, Taco Bell? Do you know I'm about to push out a baby tomorrow and my last meal will be Taco Bell?!</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Being the starving pregnant woman that I was, I scarfed it down and changed into my oh so beautiful gown.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I got comfy in my big hospital bed while the nurse came in to do my IV. Ugh, I wasn't scared about a painful birth, I was scared of my IV! I cringed for dear life and when she was done I said "Um, something doesn't feel right about this IV." she replied "Oh honey, it's fine." and walked out. Yeah, sure, just ignore me. Seconds later my arm started to swell, what do ya know, she missed my vein. Yeah, can I get a new nurse?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My family later came to visit and tried to calm my nerves down. How do you stay calm when you're about to have a baby! Before I knew it, it was 10:00pm and my husband was snoozing. A man can sleep whenever, wherever, must be nice! My new nurse brought me some sleeping medicine because I tried counting sheep and that wasn't working. She told me to give it at least an hour to kick in. 2 hours rolled by and I was wide awake. I said "Why am I still awake" she said "The medicine doesn't work on some people." really?!?!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It's 7:00am and my OB comes in, let me say, I had the BEST OB doctor there is, Matt and I absolutely LOVE her! She breaks my water and I remember seeing Matt's face, I wasn't sure if he would be able to stomach everything, but he did. </span></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">I look terrible in this picture, but I was laboring. That's my excuse! And if you couldn't tell already, I was <u>very</u> swollen.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Contractions start and after every one, more of my water came out. If this grosses you out, you probably shouldn't have kids ; ) My aunt was rubbing my feet, my dad was rubbing my back and my husband was pacing back and forth. I had never seem him so nervous before.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">And then I remembered, I ate Taco Bell last night. I have to go to the bathroom before this baby comes because I sure as heck am not going to go on myself. I could see it now, my husband saying during delivery, "Oh babe, you pooped on yourself!" yeah, not happening. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I was at 4cm and feeling more pain, I knew when the contractions were coming by the monitor. I decided to get an epidural before the pain got too unbearable. I heard all these horror stories about how painful the epidural is. Let's just say I had to ask my anestheologist if that was it, it's really not bad at all!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I laid there helpess in my bed, can't move my legs or do anything, all I thought about was I'm going to be a mommy and no matter what pain I endured, it would all be worth it. I look at the clock, it said 1:00pm and my gut told me, she will be here by 3:00pm. An hour went by and I had not progressed from the 2 hours. I expected this just because my pelvis is narrow and this baby is so big!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We talked with my OB about waiting or opting for a c-section. My mind went back and forth, either I wait and we could have complications with a vaginal devlivey or I lay on an operating table and get cut open. Neither seemd promising, but I felt a c-section would be best. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I cried, cried and cried some more. This was it, no going back now. I was wheeled out of my room followed by many kisses from our family and a kiss from my husband who would soon follow. They prepared everythig for me in the operating room and eventually got Matt. The blue drape went up and the doctors got to work. I kept talking to Matt so that my mind would stay busy and I wouldn't focus on what was going on, he looked over the drape and I saw his face, pale white, I said "Don't you dare tell me what you saw!" and he didn't. About 30 minutes go by and a nurse comes in, "The family in the waiting room wants to know what the status is." talk about inpatient! My OB said that Bug was far from where she needed to be to proceed with a vaginaly delivery, so I was relived that I did not go that route. I felt lots of pressure and then I heard a cry. The best sound I have ever heard in my life, at 2:59pm Bug was here weighing 8lbs 2 ozs and 20 inches long. The wait was over, my heart had melted, no longer would I fear a miscarriage, she was right where she needed to be, in my arms.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On June 29th, was Bugs' first night in her big girl bed. I was completely nervous, but knew it had to be done just because she had kept crawling out of her crib and she hurt herself. Anyways, it went pretty well, but this morning, she made no noise when waking up, so by the time I woke up, she was playing in the living room with my phone. Such a mischievous little girl!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My baby is no longer a baby! (Tear!) Anyways, I've had people email me asking how I continue to do it. Let me say, I'm not a fitness goddess nor do I always eat healthy. Having a husband who has the fastest metabolism and hardly gains any weight no matter what he eats, is handwork itself. Like this for instance, on my way home from the gym he said he had something for me and it was my favorite..maybe a smoothie?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yup, that would be my favorite candy ever! While I give him kudos for knowing my favorite candy, this doesn't help my waistline. And if I don't eat some, I feel guilty because he bought one for me. So yes, I eat unhealthy some days, probably more than I would like, but just because you fall down doesn't matter, it's that you get back up and start again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We had an awesome birthday party turn out yesterday, I want to say thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating our Bugs' 2nd birthday. In case you don't know I'm crazy obsessed with party planing. Seriously, it's an addiction, I started planning her 2nd birthday party when she had just turned 1. Yes, I know, some people call me nuts, but I enjoy doing it. My party planning inspiration is </span><a href="http://torispelling.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tori Spelling</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, I LOVE her! (Another obsession) I had so many ideas for this birthday my husband had to calm me down or else we would've emptied our account..</span></div>

Can I just say my husband as <i>awesome</i> talent, he made this himself which saved us tons of money compared to buying one.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My dad has always been my #1 fan, he has taught me many of the good qualities I have today. His one rule was as long as I don't lie to him, I won't be in any trouble and that will be a rule with my own kids. I'm his only child, so he was extra protective over me, I remember being extremely nervous about him meeting Matt, my dad wasn't too fond of me dating. I love knowing that no matter what time of the day it is, I can call him and he will be there to listen to me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Last night was one of those times with a
feeling of guilt over being a working mom. The majority of the time being a working mom
doesn't bother me - I work because I need to help support my family. Most days
(most, not all), the good outweighs the bad, but yesterday was not one of those
days.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Kaelyn and I will sit on the couch occasionally before bed and read books. This time she laid on my lap while I rubbed her hair singing lullabies to her over and over again. It's moments like this I cherish, mommy and daughter time.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I find myself feeling guilty for being away I remind myself first, and most importantly I am doing what is
best for my family. I am supporting and loving them with every minute that I am
away. It provides us a means to live
comfortably without always being obsessed with the dollar amount in the bank.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We also went to the splash pad, seems to be the routine on the days that I'm off. Here are a few pictures. The girl is crazy about Watermelon!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We have a community pool in our neighborhood and a kiddie pool in our backyard meaning, we spend a lot of time in the water. Before I discovered this idea, we were buying swim diapers almost every week which would cost $9.99 each time! I don't know about you, but I much rather spend my money elsewhere. I will admit, the thought of washing a used diaper kind of freaked me out until I saw how well it does work!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Only wash wet swim diapers. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When you’re ready to wash, just toss the diaper in the washing machine along with the rest of your laundry load.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let the swim diaper air dry. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Reuse your swim diapers until they start falling apart!</span></li>
