And the big decision!
I've decided to cloth diaper the bean! I had done a ton of research on cloth diapering in March, and Tim and I decided that it was something that we were interested in trying. After everything happened with Tim, I kind of got cold feet in trying something like that on my own - but it never really left my head as something that I would like to try (and I like it was something we had actually talked about together). Fast forward to now, and the fact that this baby will be here in 3ish months, and I started thinking again. I have done more research and also consulted with some people who cloth diaper. At the end of the day, I feel like it is something I want to try, so I am going to go for it. Now that I have made the decision I am actually very excited, and am looking forward to getting everything and trying it out once little one arrives!
Having a bit of insomnia the past several nights...hence the very tired eyes
My momma cloth-diapered all of us (Connor might have been a split because he was the fourth...and by then, she must have been a little worn out with us monsters hehe). She loved it! Saves a lot of money, just makes more laundry. Also, there are lots of wonderful companies out there that make the CUTEST diapers and diaper-covers ever! Good for you to give it a go (and by all means, have some disposable on hand for emergencies/trips/when just too tired ;)! That baby bump is fantastic and you are just so pretty, Miss J! Tim must be so so proud! xxx
