The kirkland brand wipes are awesome and really cheap in bulk. We were going through a ton the first few months.. that gets cut in half once you get use to cleaning effectively.

Another tip is keeping a spare diaper bag around for those unexpected needs. I made myself one (diapers, wipes, the single use powdered formulas, sealed water, 2 changes of clothes, bibs, first aid kit, and duplicates of his favorite teething and play toys) and kept it in the hall closet. Got laughed at until the day we were leaving for a trip and she had left it in the car that she dropped off at the dealership for repairs.

 

Good point Matt, thanks. we're trying to breast feed as much as possible but I'll get some of those ready made bottles.

 

+1000000000 for "straight from the source" feeding. If/when you decide to go with formula, get free samples from her ob before buying anything in bulk. Babies are about the fussiest eaters when it comes to formula, not to mention some are just allergic.

 

Yeah, we got a few sample cans. We're not planing on using them anytime soon-or ever hopefully-cuz the baby's doing really well latching.

We've fed her some "ready to feed" stuff from enfamil and she doesn't seem to like it, she prefers the breast. woo hoo !! Major props to her mommy..

 

***** are wonderful things.

 

Stop day dreaming Leo...

 

Damn Leo, I'm not gonna let Mira breastfeed when you're around lol

 

Hey Ever,

Congrats! Are you bringing Cigars on the next meet?

 

Hahahaha best quote ever.

 

Sorry Rob, I'm not much of a smoker, lol hopefully she wont make me start that habit.

Yeah Dick, I'm not sure I'm all that comfortable with Leo now... lol

Matt, keep those advises coming. damn it. haha

 

On a happier note, RIMS and TIRES!

 

the sad part is I could totally see leo following them around until they're kid is starving and they have no choice

 

Holy crap! The Falkens are great. I always thought it was body roll on tight corners causing the car to lean. I'm pretty sure it was just the OEM tires sidewalls bending. I haven't pushed it too hard yet, the tires are still breaking in, and the handling is so dramatically different I'm not sure what I'm doing just yet.

rest-in-peace Daphne the cat.

 

^Sorry about your cat Rob....

Imma try those falkens on the next tire change..

 

i dont think i'll be changing tires anytime soon at all. 20k miles on RE-01's and still going strong! i dont drive the 8 hard enough at all.

lets go cat shopping for Rob! i have some candy that will make you feel better, but i wont be making a meet until next Friday.

 

Those RE 01's are supposed to be pretty good as well..

 

 

so falkens you say?

 

I was planning on those tires being my next set. They sell for pretty cheap. i think America's Tire was quoting a set for around $600 I think.

 

245/40/18 David?

 

I'm getting those tires along with some Enkei's as soon as rotorsport gets them back in stock. Yay tires and rims. ^_^

 

Hey congrats on the baby...

I got connected a few months ago and have not been back on this sight since my son was born. He is 6 months old now...

All i can say is 1800diapers.com cheap and free shipping...

So is the meets still going on and so forth to meet up in the area...

And is there any local places around to get aftermarket bumpers in the bay area?
Keep me posted on newer meets.

Here is a ok web site for tires...
