Diaper Bandit

Back for more, in more ways than one...

 

All of us here at Diaper Bandit would like to apologize for the long lapse in entries to this blog.  See, I was away for a month and have been pretty busy so the blog sort of fell by the wayside.    Elsie is doing very well though, for anyone interested.  She's walking about like a little trooper and sleeps through most nights, if by "most" you mean "more than half".  Here's a picture of Elsie seeing me at the airport after my absence.  She's trying to figure out just who this guy holding her is:

 

 

The big news here at The Diaper Bandit is that Maggie's pregnant with number two!  Yes, we could hardly believe it ourselves, after all that trouble getting pregnant the first time, number two just slipped right in there.  We didn't even know until the first trimester was nearly over.  Maggie's starting to show now and she just pulled out her old maternity jeans so I suppose it's time to make room for Elsie's little sister.  Yes, it's a girl, due in July.  Oh boy.  Even Elsie has begun to give us a hand with the preparations.  Here she is sweeping the floor:

 


 

That's the good news, but the bad news (or maybe it's good too, depending on how you look at it) is that Diaper Bandit won't be appearing here anymore after this month.  I'm just not able to keep up with the regular posting and you Babble readers deserve better!  It's been a lot of fun, and I'll post a few more updates this month, but then it's over, really!  At least until number two comes along...

First off Congrats on the impending arrival! However, I am sorry to hear that you will not continue the blog. Although I haven't commented much ,I have always enjoyed your writing. I hope you will change your mind (maybe a team blog with Maggie posting as well?), especially now that GGC is expecting too.

Dude,

What?  Did you get another source of income?  Because, let's face it, babble has been your only regular check, even if people only check it out en route to more famous baby bloggers...

Anyway, you're right, you've really been putting the "lack" in lackluster, these last few weeks, so whatever you're doing I hope it's not half-assed.

Congratulations on the impending arrival of your second child!  That is fantastic news.  I'm really sorry that you won't be blogging anymore, though...your blog has always been one of my favorites.

Sorry to see you go!  Can you direct us towards a place where we can continue to track the wild growth that is Elsie's cousin Ida's hair?  I will miss that kid's hair - makes me giggle! :)  And will miss you all as well!!

Glad to see that you have returned.  Congratulations on baby number two!  Elsie must be so excited about the announcement that she will soon have a baby brother or sister!  What a big girl!  LOL Don't little girls love brooms, mops and vacuums?  UNTIL...they can really do something with them!
