Diaper Details

So I am a goober ya know. I bought all these cloth diapers thinking-- well, I don't know what I was thinking!!! I guess I was thinking I was gonna be a Proverbs 31ish woman (Hi Raech!) and save my family money and, and, and… Well, then I got them and I totally freaked out. LOL! I've NEVER used a cloth diaper before! What do I know about how to clean them and care for them? And besides, when you've always used disposables, well, it's just a hard transfer of thought, at least for this mama.

So before I even tried them I quit. I gave up, laughed at myself, and thought I’d just pass them along to my missionary sister in Mexico who probably needs them more than myself, living down there, and all. Then I felt like a moron. Here I had spent all this money, wrote a cloth diaper blog post, and I was not even gonna use them. For days I just sat around shaking my head at myself. “What a Dork!” I thought to myself.

Well, finally my husband encouraged me to throw them in the washer, run ‘em through once, and try them out—“At least try them,” he said.

So I did. And OH, are they ever so cute! Now, they don’t absorb as well as disposables, so I have to change them more often, but they come in all these cute colors: pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, blue/green, and white. So while I still use the disposables when I go out, and overnight (because they absorb better), I’m kinda likin’ this cloth thing.

The only problem now is that I don't want to put pants on her because they cover up those cute little diapers, but it's still too cold to let her go without anything on her legs just yet.
