Everything over here is going well. Baby Reis is growing and we have been nesting away. We’re always crazy busy running here and running there, but last Sunday we found a chance to make some real progress on the baby room and rid our house of some of the many boxes that had been delivered or purchased over the last few weeks.
So now you’re thinking- show me the room!
Sorry not today…we still have some additional things we’d like to do before we share, but the good news is that we have made enough progress to make the room look like a nusery.
Today is about the diapers I have been picking up over the last few weeks. We’ve decided to try out cloth diapering for our little Reis, as a means to save some $$$ and save the landfills. We won’t be cloth diapering 100% of the time since our daycare does not offer the services- but every little bit counts!
Cloth Diapers have really come a long way since I was a little baby with many styles available from the traditional to all-in-one to pocket diapers. We even took a class to learn about all the different varieties!
I pick up diapers from various discount sites when I find special deals– with the goal never to pay more than $12 for a diaper. I always try to pick the cutest fabrics, while still trying to keep them gender neutral. Currently we have 8 diapers in the drawer with three more on their way. I stalk various deal sites each day, so I don’t miss any bargains.
Obviously eleven diapers isn’t quite enough unless I want to do laundry everynight- and I don’t want that. I have registered for some as well that will really help complete our collection with the more traditional styles.
Alright off to do some walking…gotta keep this baby healthy and happy! (Sorry for the unfocused pictures…)
