Cloth diapering is a HUGE undertaking...

...the scary thing is I haven't even started yet! LoL I really think in the end it will save DH and I a lot of money for us to cloth diaper DS and since the diapers will only be on his little bum I can sell my stash off when I don't need it. I'm glad I know a number of moms already cloth diapering or I would be sooo lost. I think I put it off for so long because there are just so many varieties I had no idea where to start.

Who would have thought that diapering could be so lucrative? LoL I mean there are designs and patterns and so many different colours and that's only for the covers! Then there are inserts of varying varieties it makes my head spin. I had to educate my grandmother that I won't have to hand wash them, there are no pins and the covers aren't just plastic and plain. I mean heck it's probably impossible to just get a white one, I mean how boring is that. I wanna find a camo one for DS! LOL

Don't even get me started on the leggings that you can now get so that baby can show off the diaper cover! Next summer DS is just gonna be in cute diaper covers and baby leggings...because that is the style...I'm kind of sad I didn't do this with DD because the covers with ruffles on the butt are too cute. Practical, no, but definitely cute.

I'm writing about this now because I ordered my first set of diapers and I want them to come in the mail already! Now I ordered them yesterday so obviously I have to wait (I HATE waiting!) so I figured I'd write about them. Maybe once I get the mail I'll write a letter to them. Do I see a 'Dear Cloth Diapers' post in my future? More than likely. Are you on the edge of your seat in anticipation? Yeah I thought so.

I'm sure I'll have all kinds of things to say once I venture into actually using these diapers. Not to mention pictures of how cute my little boy's butt is going to look in those covers. I haven't even ordered and prints yet, just solid colours. I have to work my way up to it...LOL

Oh yeah I haven't even talked about the accessories that 'need' to be involved in this endeavour. There are different varieties of bags to put the used diapers in (some that you can apparently just throw right into the wash). Then bags for diaper bags and then you can get bamboo, hemp or microfiber products because you know it's not overwhelming already.

I'm determined to be a pro at this, so I can at least prove to my husband it's a worthwhile investment...oh and because it's best for the environment and all that. Wow I just realised I'm a bed sharing, baby wearing, breast feeding and cloth diapering mama. When the heck did that happen?
