i found time to take some photos and made a birth announcement.

we started using cloth diapers a few days ago – i’ll have to take some CD shots. it’s working out fine – james is really supportive of the whole cd thing. he’ll even rinse poopy diapers AND do the laundry. wow! he’ll only use fitteds though. he said prefolds are too much work…LOL i’m still working on my prefolds. i’m not getting the hang of flats, maybe they’ll work better when he’s a bit bigger.

i’m thinking i may just go all fitteds on the next size up. they are really easier and no foldings…hahaha with the prefolds, it seems like i’m always changing alex. i do love the newspaper fold – it contains his poop so much better – no leakings at all. hopefully it stay that way.

out of all the fitteds that i bought, my favorite are the motherease sandys! i just love love them! i am looking to just using all sandys or motherease one size after alex outgrow these newborn diapers. i mainly use the sandys for nighttime (i only have 5) – i can just add a doubler and fleece liner to the sandys and alex will sleep 2-3 hours just like a disposable. i don’t even use a cover at night. the sandy will feel damp when he wakes up for a feeding but nothing major and i heard fitteds allow their little bottoms to breath more. i hope so.

the nanipoos and kissaluvs are okay – they fit great on alex though. i just like the sandys much much better! the ones i didn’t like at all were the gdiapers. maybe because whatever i tried to use in the liners do not fit or were way too bulky on alex’s frame. and they look very small to me. i haven’t even use one yet to see how the liners and covers hold up. just way too bulky. i shouldn’t have bought so many *sigh*. i think i’ll list them back on the “for sale or trade” forum.
