I don't remember if it was Jerin, Andrew, or both who I was having this conversation with, but found an interesting blog entry discussing the merits of charging batteries 1) whenever you can, 2) once a day, or 3) after full discharge. It concludes that batteries should be charged whenver you can...details here.
Sorry to disappoint those who were looking for a baby update :) Ok, ok. Careese has some nice lungs. She can also poop. Doctor said for every day that the baby is alive, that is about how many diapers he/she will go through, true for the first week. Well, if we followed that, then at 2-3 days old, Careese should have actually been 20 days old.
Evan can soak through diapers in the middle of the night. He came over at about 0330 and said he was cold. I felt his pants and they had soaked all the way through, and half his shirt was wet. Went back to his bed to discover a HUGE wet spot on the blanket (good thing it wasn't on the bedsheet, because we haven't bought a mattress pad for the twin bed yet! At the same time, Careese was either looking to eat or change, or both, so Bev and I had a little party at 0330. Then I found myself competing for space with Evan, since Bev can't move with Careese by her side. Lucy, for a little while, was sleeping in her usual warm spot (my bottom or crotch, couldn't remember), that is, before she was told to go back to her kennel. By 0600 I was wide awake, and figured, guess it's time for work.
Actually made it to work on time today for the first time in a looong time. I think my coworkers sabatoged the diapers we bought or brainwashed Evan to push me off the bed in the middle of the night. That bugger.
Note--We have a queen size bed. But I don't think it'd be any different with a king. Evan's just a kicker and toss-turner when he sleeps.

Congrats on the recent addition! I googled your blog. =)
Huh!? 1 diaper a day? Does that mean you only supposed change the diaper for the number 2s?
I can't imagine the day when Taisei's going to come into our room by himself. :O
That blog on batteries is interesting. Noteworthy, but pretty unscientific. E.g. cell phone usage could be different from, say, camera usage. Maybe he has discovered something, but I feel like I still need to hear it from an authority on Lithium Ion technology.
I understand what you are going through. Dealing with two kids is a handful a lot of times. We are going thought the same things. Let's ganbaru.
I might sound "mean" now...but they grow up so fast--enjoy the bed sharing party/madness while it still happens =)
