Making the switch to cloth diapers!

We are very excited (yes, Ryan too) about finally making the switch to cloth diapers. I know, most people think we're crazy, cloth diapering is nothing like it was when we were kids (or when our parents were kids). Cloth diapers are now just as user friendly and convenient as disposable diapers with the added benefits of long term cost savings and less impact on the environment.

After finally doing the research for myself, I am finally starting to understand all of the options (which are nearly endless by the way!) cloth diapering has to offer and wanted to share some of the info I found most helpful in deciding what type of diapers I wanted to start using. By the way, we've decided that One Size Pocket style diapers are what we are going to start with. Yes, this means I will be able to use the same diapers on Nicholas AND Andrew :)

Here is the website I found most helpful:

http://www.diaperpin.com/

I recommend starting with the Dictionary Page and the How To's/FAQs Page

Diaper Swappers and Diaper Traders are also great sites for WAHM (work at home mom) made cloth diapers and buying/selling/trading cloth diapers as well as great advise from other Cloth Diapering moms.

If you ever have any questions about cloth diapering, please ask! If I don't know the answer I can definitely find out for you :)

A few really nice sites I've used for ordering new Cloth Diapers are:

Since the question keeps coming up...

I posted a list on the side bar of gift ideas for Christmas and Andrew's baby shower. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask :)

And here we go again...

Things are kind of in an upheaval right now. We were hoping Ryan would be able to keep his job at Insight until Andrew was here, but that is no longer an option :( We're still hoping he will get on with Surprise PD (he's testing with them in mid-November), but in the meantime we are job hunting again. Any thoughts and prayers that we'll find a job soon and that our house will lease quickly are very appreciated.
