Saturday, my friend, Wendy, and I will travel to Ocala to meet Andrea and finalize the purchase of &lt;a href="http://www.babiesinthesun.com"&gt;Babies In The Sun&lt;/a&gt;. It's only a three hour drive, but it will seem longer due to the excitement I'm feeling, and the fact we'll be driving with kids ages 4, 3, 2 and two months old. Well, I think mostly because of the kids. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been an interesting journey from "newbie cloth diapering mama," to "cloth diaper business owning mama." Five years ago this month, I thought that:&lt;br /&gt;1) I didn't like babies or kids and I would never have any&lt;br /&gt;2) Cloth diapers went the way of the dinosaur&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;3) Breastfeeding was for poor, uneducated people (boy was I wrong!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life has a way keeping you on your toes.  Just as soon as you think you've got things pegged, it all changes in ways you'd never imagined.  I moved home from Japan in January 2001, and discovered I was pregnant in eary March.  Whoa!  I didn't even like babies.  Amazingly enough, October 2001, Kaia was born and I fell madly in love with her.  So much for not liking babies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--I have good intentions of finishing this post.  Gonna try publishing to see how this works now.  Bear with me, lol.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20911851-113712598668014581?l=babiesinthesun.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babiesinthesun.blogspot.com/feeds/113712598668014581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20911851&amp;postID=113712598668014581' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20911851/posts/default/113712598668014581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20911851/posts/default/113712598668014581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babiesinthesun.blogspot.com/2006/01/new-beginning.html' title='A New Beginning'/><author><name>Babies In The Sun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14793211971616133188</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
