New CLOTH Diapers

If you don't want to hear about my views on cloth diapering, don't read this blog... just skip it and read another post. I really am warning you, I am going to tell you exactly why I decided to go for cloth, so if you are totally against it, just go ahead and stop reading... no one has to know.

For my birthday, my mom decided to go halfsies with me and split the cost of cloth diapers.

    

The diapers are called fuzzibunz and are really cute! They are a pocket diaper and are really easy to use, did I say cute??, and will grow with Miles until he is 30 lbs! We will be able to use them for Miles and 2 more kids after him.....after that we might have to buy new ones (or they might STILL be good to use, if we take good care of them). I absolutely LOVE these diapers! We still have some disposable diapers from the medical school diaper shower that was thrown for us, but I think those will mostly be used for when we are traveling.

If anyone is thinking about cloth diapers and wondering why in the world I would want to do them, just read this and this. Using cloth diapers is good for the environment AND will save you TONS of money! It is so great and easy... it is NOT like how cloth diapers used to be... no pins or touching any poop. I really love the diapers so far and am so excited about how they look on Miles. (Also, as a side note... ladies think about wearing a pad, is it comfy? NO, so why would you want your baby to be in something like that 24/7 for 2+ years? It is just one more reason I like cloth diapers, they are so soft!)

Anyway... sorry for the rant, but I just really love them. Here is my little model wearing a yellow one (We bought them in blue, green, cream, red, and white.. SO cute!)

here he was laughing at Carl

He noticed I had my phone and decided to give me a very serious look, but the diaper is still cute!!

Baby gear!!

I got 2 baby packages from my mom today!!! I am getting more and more excited about meeting little Miles in another 4 months but will just have to be satisfied with all the cool "stuff" he gets :)

The first package was my new stroller/car seat! I am totally in love with it! It is the perfect size and color and style and I can't say enough about how much I can't wait to put my actual baby in it

The second was all the stuff I needed to start using cloth diapers. I decided that since I am going to be a stay at home mom, I wanted to try cloth diapers (don't judge). They are a great way to save money and I think it is something that I can make work... if not, then oh well.

I also thought that when Miles gets home, I plan on using regular diapers for a few weeks to make it easier on everyone (I think it would just be too hard to getting to know Miles AND trying to use a new diaper system). BUT... my mom sent the things we would need for when we start using them. Here are the REALLY cute cloth diapers we chose:

These are the outer covers... SO CUTE!!! The little 'g' goes on his bum

These are the little cloth parts that you wash... I am going to need a bunch of these, but my mom started us out with 12.

This is what the inside looks like. It has a waterproof liner in it as well that helps to keep the outer cover clean :)

Well, today has already been a GREAT day and I am so excited to see my little cute Miles again on Wednesday for our last ultrasound!
