Cloth Diapers!

 Jay and I decided to cloth diaper this baby. We made this decision several months ago, before even getting pregnant. We are both very confident in our choice and realize that quite a few people we know think we are absolutely crazy. Perfectly understandable. My first thought of cloth diapers, big ugly cloth pieces that have to be safety pinned on each side of baby, washing poopy diapers instead of throwing them away. Gross, who wants to do all of that? Cloth diapers are so much healthier for the baby as well, he/she isn't as likely to get diaper rash, they are good for the enviroment and after doing all of the math, we learned it's so much cheaper to do cloth diapers. Not to mention they are so much prettier than a regular disposable diaper! From my calculations, the entire diaper stage costs approximately $1800 for disposables (pampers, huggies and all the other brands as well), cloth diapers on the other hand will cost us about $500 to get through the first year and that goes up to 35lbs, then after that, we are looking at about $300 for the rest of the supply of diapers to get through the diaper stage!  My best friend Allison bought us our first cloth diaper and I am absolutely in love with it!
