wow, it’s march already! i’m halfway done with my pregnancy! woo-hoo!

i’m going to try cloth diapering my baby again. i tried it with jaelynn and boy, it was pretty overwhelming! and i went overboard with buying a bunch of things! *yikes*

i re-evaluated what i did and i’m going to give it a try again. actually at first, i was going to try gdiapers only, which imo, is a hybrid kind of thing – not a disposable and not a real cloth diaper. after looking at how much the disposable flushies cost, i’ll just do CD. i can see myself not saving anything with gdiapers.

i started building my newborn stash since i sold everything i bought for jaelynn. it’s going to be simple this time – just prefolds, covers, and a few fitteds for when we go out. i tried pockets and aio’s for jaelynn and i do not like them.

i’m not buying everything completely new either! i have been hanging out on the diaperswappers board and getting some in used but great conditions from the FSOT forum. i also gave myself a budget so i won’t be impulsively buying things which i can do. i even made a spreadsheet – james love that!

i have spent about $110 and am almost done with getting everything i need. just some more prefolds, wet bags, and pail liner left. i got a great deal on some gdiapers to try out too! some mamas had luck inserting a prefold into the snap in instead of using the flushies. i’m going to try that since if that work, i’ll save more money not buying them.

i want to get everything i need and wash and prepped them before the baby arrive. i’m getting enough to last abut 3 days until i do laundry. *sigh* i really want this to work for me…i feel guilty using disposables!
