Cloth Diapering!

So I thought I'd get on here and just blab about things no one cares to read...except maybe 2 of you. Why you ask? Because sweet BabyGirl is laying on me sleeping and I don't want to wake her and I've done everything else on the computer I can think of...so now I am blogging about nothing.

Let's see...BabyGirl's 2 month birthday is coming up fast but that is for another post. Boy do I love her.

Oh, here is something to blog about! We started using cloth diapers! Finally! Here is a pic to refresh your memory of what is making my baby so adorable these days:

Before BabyGirl was born I had everything I needed except something to put used diapers in until ready to be washed. The last two months has been the biggest whirlwind of my life...I just didn't take the time...wait a second, what am I saying? I didn't HAVE the time to research what I wanted to use for used diapers. So last week I got myself together and found all sorts of different ideas. I settled on the Monkey Foot Designs wetbag that you can hang on the changing table. And since I am so tech savvy...here is a pic I found online:

 Funny that you can like something as much as a wetbag...I always knew I was crazy. Anyway, I LOVE the fabric I chose...I decided I don't care if we have a boy next...gender neutral is no fun when this is really a gift for me, right?!

My mom and sister gave me a travel size wetbag to put in BabyGirl's diaper bag...for use on the go! Seen below...

 It never occurred to me that I could get a bigger one to use at home...well actually I didn't even know it was possible until I researched. I liked the wetbag option because according to my research...that phrase just made me think of Magic School Bus...I think I might have shown too many of those in the classroom apparently!...anyway...focus...where was I? Oh yeah, I liked the wetbag option because supposedly they keep odors down much better than using a pail. So...we shall see!

I ordered the bag last week and decided that same day to just start using the smaller wetbag I have until the big one came in the mail...that way I could go ahead and start using the diapers. Funny how I was going to my mom's for a week that same day as well. I figured I could wash diapers there just as easily as here! I did find that taking care of her hm...messy...diapers wasn't as handy at my moms as it will be here. We have a diaper sprayer to attach to the toilet for that not so glorious part of cloth diapering.

So yeah...SO EASY. I could have started using them her first week home if I'd only known how easy it would be. Basically the only difference is that I am washing the diapers instead of throwing them away. We were given practically all our diapers from family members as gifts which was a MASSIVE blessing. I couldn't be more grateful because seriously...I am in love with cloth diapering. You are crazy to use disposables. :) CRAZY! They are so much better for BabyGirl's skin (HUGE fan of that) and in the long run it is so much CHEAPER than disposables and they are adorable!

...and now BabyGirl is waking up so with that I will end this post! If you ever want to know more about cloth diapering, just ask!
