Diapers

If you are wondering why I haven't posted in months it is because of diapers.
Okay, not really...but these have taken up about one full day of my life!! Once Jamie casually, but seriously, asked me if we were going to use cloth diapers and I said, "No! No one does that..." Then I read an article on it and listened to a podcast (for anyone interested in pregnancy the Pregtastic podcast available online or iTunes is phenomenal!!) and researched on my own and realized cloth diapers might not be so bad.

After at least 24 hours of research I came to these conclusions:
1. Cloth diapering has come a LONG way in the last 20 years...if you type cloth diapers into amazon.com it come up with 8,104 results (which leads to confusion).
2. Cloth diapering can save you a lot of money.
3. Cloth diapering is GREAT for the environment.
4. My sister Christine is extremely opposed to cloth diapering.

Final evaluation of cloth diapers:
1. We may not save any money.
2. We might help the environment.
3. But by George, if I have invested that much time into figuring these things out we are doing it! (or at least trying...)
