Dax's music: We frequently break into song when something we are doing has a related song we know. (Yes, we are those kind of dorky parents.) Dax was requesting Ice and that turned into Ice, Ice Baby (anyone remember that from the 80's I think?) Then there is jumping on the trampoline which led to Jump Around. We are teaching our baby wholesome kid songs as well. He loves and requests Jesus Loves Me and Jesus Loves The Little Children as well as Monkeys Jumping on the bed which gets edited to whatever other thing he wants to jump on the bed - reindeer, firetruck, etc.
Moving to Houston: We've found a place to live and are moving in two weeks. The bad thing is that there are steep stairs. I bought a gate for the top of the stairs online. I'm not so worried about daytime, but nights really worry me with stairs. Our other delima is carpet in the breakfast/dining area. That's not going to work well with a toddler - still trying to figure that one out. I think we are about 50% packed - boxes everywhere.
Pregnancy: All seems well. Brushing my teeth is becoming a problem as for the first time in my life I seem to have developed a gag reflex - not good:( I found a doctor in Houston that I think will work out. Hopefully we'll know the baby's gender by August. Yes - We are finding out. I'm not that patient. We've got a girl first name picked out, and a full boy's name chosen. I'm also trying to figure out what to do for diapers for this baby - cloth, paper, combo? We used paper on Dax until almost a year. I'm not sure how to manage cloth on a newborn or what type to get for the milk only period.

Cloth diapers on a newborn are not bad. We started at about 1 month when Katherine was finally big enough. We used kissaluv fitteds with a prowrap cover. A lot of people use prefolds during the newborn stage because they go through so many and they are cheaper. Let me know if you have any questions.
