Cloth Diapers

 I went ahead and bought 12 cloth diapers (I will be buying 12 more next month). I went to a local store here called Baby Junk, and Im really glad I did. My heart was set on "Fuzzibunz One Size Elites" but I ended up changing my mind to "Bumbgenius Freetimes." I told myself that price would not persuade me on getting a different brand, and it didn't, however I scored and ended up getting the Bumbgenius for 2$ off each diaper! My true reason for switching was #1: I got to touch, feel, snap, un-snap, velcro, roll and play with each brand of diapers (and there are a lot of brands) and I just preferred the Bumbgenius, which I really didn't think I was going to. and #2: the fact that the Fuzzibunz were a "pocket" diaper and I realized that I didn't want to take the time to un-stuff and re-stuff the inserts before and after every laundry load (and Robert probably wouldn't have liked doing that either haha). AND the Fuzzibunz were more bulky. 

The cloth diapers come in all these fun colors and you can choose between snap or velcro. At first I was trying to think how many of each color should I get. And you just never know what gender your next baby will be, so maybe just gender neutral colors? One day I was talking about this with a coworker in Utah and she said she had just switched from disposable to cloth and that she absolutely loves them and that she got all white diapers (so she could use bleach every once in a while). Brilliant! So I copied her idea, and now I don't have to worry about gender or matching outfits or dumb stuff like that. I was also set on only getting "snaps," but as I talked to other moms they said that the velcro can come in handy in the middle of the night so your not frustrated with trying to match the snaps in the dark. So I got half velcro and half snaps. Im just waiting for the phone call from Baby Junk letting me know that they have arrived. Im so excited!
