Today is Martin Luther's King Day. Moi had the day off because he had duty over the weekend. I checked out Diaper Junction and and bought GroVia One Size Diapers. GroVia One size Diaper Set comes with one outer shell (or cover) with velcro closure (there are snap closures available somewhere else) and one GroVia Snap-In Soaker (making it a 2-in-1 diaper system)
I bought six sets with different colors and prints. I'm doing this for Moi who has warmed up to the idea of CDing but wants something fast and easy. I hope that we use these sparingly so they'll last through years to come or at least until Abdiel is potty-trained.
With the purchase of $75 or more using coupon code PRIME75, the customer gets a free AIO or AI2 (all-in-one or all-in-two) diaper. I hope that I get another GroVia One Size Diaper.(Update: I got a Happy Heinys one size cloth diaper in teal along with my order on Friday, Jan 21st)
I also purchased a Bummis Swim Diaper with Clown Fish print for $10.85 each.

Moi, Abdiel, and I made it to the Registro Demográfico in Downtown Aguadilla by 7am. By 8am, we found out that the office only accepts 5 registrations in the morning. We had to return by 1pm but we were there by noon. By 2-3pm, Moi registered Abdiel while I nursed him in the waiting area. Now he has his birth certificate and soon enough, he'll receive his social security number in the mail.

1 color coordinated pair of Seven™ baby leg warmers! Brown poka dots on beigh back ground. ($12 value)

A $72.00 value! Yours today for just $44.00!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally received this sling in the mail. I really love it! The leg warmers are kind of big for Abdiel. I went ahead and purchased the Autum Blaze Gift Set in size 3. The Carmel Latte was size 2. I really wanted Northern Lights but it's out of stock until February.
I also purchased a Udder Covers Carson Gift Set for me because the Porter Set is also out of stock until February. I'm nursing so having different ones really come in handy.
I took Abdiel to his second follow-up appointment with Stacholy. Moi had duty so I took Abdiel by myself. I used the sling to carry him inside the office. She ordered a stool sample because I was concerned that Abdiel was grunting and straining so much. He weighed 8 lbs and 4 oz and measured 21 1/4". After I went home, I got connected to MSN Messenger to chat with Hani and Ale but it only lasted a few minutes.
María the nurse was coming over to our place at 2 PM but I fell asleep and missed her call! She was parked outside of our gate. I felt bad but she understood so she re-scheduled for next week.
I also placed an order with Mom's Milk Boutique. I bought 3 sets of snap-in soakers for the GroVia shells that I bought from Diaper Junction, plus a baby sunscreen and a box of 50 counts of disposable BioSoakers for when we're out and are unable to wash the diapers. I hope that we use them sparingly because they're not cheap and aren't nearly as good as the cloth diapers but it's a bit better than conventional disposable diapers. With my order of over $75, I'm supposed to get a free GroVia Shell. Hopefully I get one of the snap shells because I bought 6 sets of GroVia shells with soakers in velcro. (Update: I received the birdie shell with the velcro closure because the one that I wanted was not the free one)
I purchased a Rockin' Green Magnetic Laundry Scoop from Happy Baby Company. I hope that I'll get them soon so I can put back the 1 tsp scoop back into my kitchen cabinet.

I treated Abdiel's pink eyes with breast milk and this morning it seemed like his eyes are cleared up! His crack is reddish and I'm going to assume that it's either the cotton wax in the brown prefolds being washed along with the orange prefolds or the load simply needs another extra rinse. I'm going to boil some hot water about a gallon in the main wash and the rinse.

Around 2 AM Abdiel threw up milk. I had to change our sheets. i thought that it was feeding time when in fact he had nursed about 41 minutes prior.
The Schuler's sent us a card and $100 check for Abdiel. Abdiel didn't poo enough to have the parasitology sample sent out to San Juan so the lab tech gave me the cup to fill it as soon as possible during the madrugada before the lab opens again.

Moi has overnight duty and took the stool sample from the 6 AM blow out to the Laboratorio Ramey. Thankfully, I received a call back from the lab that the sample was enough to be sent out to San Juan. I didn't receive any packages today but got a check for the witch hazel that I bought in December. Lizy probably got the other check.
Today was diaper wash day. I also did a diaper count on the orange edge prefolds and sure enough, I was able to account for all 48 diapers. I'm parting away 18 diapers out of 48 to a lady who has been contacting me via FB because she's due in April. She also wants 6 yellow edge prefolds which are size small. I have an unopened dozen of the bleached ones.
I was able to prep a dozen of the organic yellow prefolds. I need to prep the remaining two dozens for a total of 36 diapers. Four dozens NB size prefolds worked for us by washing every other day. Hopefully by the time Abdiel fits in the yellow edge prefolds I won't need more than 3 dozens, or else, I could throw in 1/2 dozen from the bleached ones if I end up selling the other 1/2 dozen.

Moi came home before 9 AM from his overnight duty watch. I felt relieved because I really wanted to work on some overdue chores around the house.
While Moi stayed with Abdiel, I proceeded to sweep and mop our room and house with CJ's all purpose cleaner. I also scrubbed our shower, toilet, and bathroom with the Coconut Lime Dream scent. The scent is long lasting. Moi liked it but didn't like the smell of the Lavender EO. I don't think that I liked it either.
I also went through CJ's BUTTer sample again and am liking some scents more than others.
I also cooked some lettuce, onion, tomatoes with some thinly sliced steaks and poured in some leftover beans with tomato sauce and ate it for lunch with white rice.
I bought three boxes of Lansinoh breastmilk storage bag from eBay.
