    They grow so freaking much towards the end. So size 1 should work unless you go very early (hope not though!) 

     

    Amazon Moms doesn't cost anything and would beat Sam's or Costco and be name brand. I don't even think you have to be a Prime member but could be wrong. I think we paid about $30/mo in diapers through it... currently with pullups I'm paying about $45? They cost more and boxes have less quantities as they get bigger. 

     

    Oh, pro tip. When you start having diaper blow outs you need to go up a size. Some poops will require a complete bath, lol.

    Awww! TOBY!! :) 

     

    I want to suggest that you join Amazon Moms. You get free shipping and 20% off diapers so that helped us a lot. Avoid cloth diapers at all costs unless you want to be hand washing poop out of them and adding to your laundry pile. I tried this and it lasted about a week, just didn't work for us. 

     

    Also I recommend Pampers swaddlers. They have a baby dry brand that caused chemical burns on my son and from reviews/complaints online was pretty common. The hospital used swaddlers so that's what we kept using and now we're using their brand of Pull Ups. Oh they also let you collect points for rewards. After a year of collecting I got Sebastian a tricycle. I'm collecting them now for something huge, but might not have enough til the next kid. Huggies has that rewards program too but I found their diapers ran small, and with a BOY they are constantly peeing in all directions and leak through everything. Had the best luck with Pampers. Off brands were pretty damn crappy and weren't worth saving $5 to deal with the mess of it. 

     

    Did they give you an approximate weight for him at your last U/S? Usually first time babies don't come early, but I went into labor around 38 weeks due to my blood pressure. 

     

    I'll see if I can send a pack to you! 

    Problems connecting.

    in Left 4 Dead 2

    I'm not aware of anyone else having connection issues. If verifying the game cache doesn't work, you might need a complete reinstall. I had a similar issue about a year ago and it was the only thing that helped.

    Not eligible but I'll post anyway because it's fun.

     

    1. When and how did you find out about GC? And which game did/do you play on? How long have you been gaming on GC overall?

    I think I randomly found it while scrolling through the server list. Looking for a buy server that was at least 10v10 and was American. (L4D2) I think I've been here off and on since 2012.

    1. Share about your very first day on GC or just your first month or so, how did it go? Whether good or bad, let’s hear it from you.

    It was always fun coming into a server that was full of people and point based but also balanced. Initially the no cursing rule phased me a bit, though I didn't complain and I actually appreciate it now. I'm not sure how good or bad it was. I think I've always just been an average player and I'm ok with that.

    1. Tell me about friends you have made while playing our servers and what roles did they have into making you have fun gaming in general.

    I got bunches of friends on GC and I do value them as much as real life friends. In fact I probably talk to some of you guys more than my own local friends or family. Just because we have fun together and that's what's important. Love you guys!

    1. What keeps you coming back to play GC?

    The good people we have here! Gameplay in L4D2 never gets old for me. I still discover new stuff about maps every now and again, and hear the bots say something random I've never heard before. 2500hrs this month!

    1. How has GC affected you as a person, whether big or small, share about it.

    I've made some good friends, we've had good talks. I hope GC is around for a very very very very very very long time.

     

    1. What are some fond memories that you can recall on while playing games on GC servers? Any funny ones? Any sad ones?

    Destroying Johnny with a car that my tank threw from across the map. Destroying an entire team with a tank on Cold Stream as they got stuck in the tunnel and I proceeded to shove a log up in there. I got lots of videos of great death charges and jockey deaths. Rocket jockies and smokers that actually end up doing good is pretty hilarious too. 

    1. What song reminds you of GC?

    Ummm I don't know. I actually have "One Bad Man" as my ring tone and has been that way since 2010 or something. So when I think of L4D I think of GC. 

    1. What is a goal you want to accomplish next year? And for those who play L4D2, what is something you want to work on getting better at in the game?

    I'd really love to get better at hunter, but it seems like I'm just not skilled enough for it. I always land at a players feet, then freak out and baby pounce them. I probably land a 25pt pounce 1 out of 10 times whether you're incapped or not. I got no shame in this. I'll keep trying. I also would like to get my headshot ratio up a bit more and stop "spraying and praying" so much. Oh, I also want to run my own contest again soonish. 

    Personal goals, we already had a big year moving out of state, selling a home, buying a home and enrolling my son into various therapies. Next year I want to grow my business more and have another child.

    Halloween pumpkins

    in What's Up?

    Wow that was pretty sweet.

     

    Mine is starting to get pruny because we had a few warm days. I might have to do another one, not sure if I'll have the time. Was super fun to carve though.

    Every year thousands upon thousand of pumpkins are slaughtered for our amusement. I am here to encourage this.

     

    I just finished this carving today, having not carved a pumpkin in about 20 years. I am quite pleased with myself and wanted to share it.

    It's school/work and has been slow those times. It's usually been quite busy some nights after 7-8pm cst and on weekends. Hopefully it will pick up as we get closer into holidays. We also do a custom/vip/pathing on Saturday nights around 7-8pm cst but I'm going to miss this weekend, will be out of town.
