Nato Airstrike Kills 27 Civilians (including children). This on top of last week when a Nato forces mistakenly killed 5 civilians, a Nato airstike missed it's target and killed 7 policemen, and last December Nato mistakenly killed 10 school children. Way to go saving the world from crazy terrorists who would travel to foreign countries and kill innocent people... Oh, wait.

And a Baby Makes Three
Things are going well with the baby. He's still in that stage where he sleeps a lot so we've been able to catch up on sleep after our week long ordeal. HE's also really calm when he's awake. He's not a big crier. He cries a little when he's hungry but otherwise he just sits there and stares at everything. I think he's fascinated by my beard. I think he thinks he has a mom and a grizzly bear as parents. Then sometimes the dog gets in his face and I wonder if he thinks it's me. Babies don't have very good eye sight so you never know.
We did take the baby back to the hospital for a jaundice follow up because his yellowness was getting worse but they told us his bilirubin levels were actually lower so that's good. Thank god for Oregon Health Plan. I can't imagine if we had to pay for that out of our pockets. I mean, we really wanted a natural birth but you can't predict the future and I'm glad we are covered for what happened, plus the baby having jaundice. I mean even if the natural birth happened without a hitch he would have still had jaundice, had to go to the hospital and go under the lights. So anything can happen. Not to mention if there is some complication before the baby is born. It's just better to be safe than sorry. I'm not one to take government assistance, but at least I've paid into that system. Not like a guy I knew who's family just lived off the government and never really contribute to society. He said "They can't get a job, then they will lose their assistance." What a bunch of leeches. At least Krystal and I have worked hard and contributed to society.
I found the cloth diapers very very easy to use and they are not much work at all to wash. I don't why more people don't use them. We do have a big utility sink right next to our washing machine so I guess I will give other people the benifit of the doubt if they don't have that. I'm sure it makes it easier, but still, not that much work. I couldn't imagine paying disposable diapers. We'd be broke... Or broker than we already are. Seriously we'd be bankrupt.
We also bought a jeep baby carrier (baby backpack) to replace the piece of shit Baby Bjorn we had. Why are those things so popular? That thing had to be the most poorly designed piece of garbage I've ever owned. There were buttons that you pushed to release straps under the baby while it was sitting in it. I couldn't stand it. It was nearly impossible to get the baby in and out of it. It sucked. So we got a Jeep baby carrier and I love it. All the adjustments are easy to get to. the baby sits in it really well without it squishing the baby into my chest. Very happy with it.
It looks like things are going to start getting very busy at work. I have a few upcoming jobs now plus a couple bids out plus an engineer working on a couple plans for future jobs. So it's time to work a couple weekends and put some money in the bank and then we can go up and visit the family. If their good.
