I am back, this time it wasnt from me forgetting, my internet has been down and my phone will not let me access the site fully enough to post.

So I found a new store, its called Simple Cloth in Olympia and the lady that runs it is so helpful. She talked me through what kind of inserts to use and what things will be helpful to have with cloth diapers, and I am very excited to get started. Well, get started with a baby in diapers, we started cloth diapering Sam at night, sort of, we are using the biodegradable inserts from gdiaper right now since i only have a single insert the right size for Sam. We did a registery at this place for some of the things we will need, I also have the registry on Amazon for gdiapers.

Since I know how expensive cloth diapers can be initially I am also looking into making our own if we can't out right purchase everything we need by the time baby gets here. There is a brand at Joann Fabrics called babyville that i looked at that had a good system that you make yourself, I will also we going a step further to make some that have the same snap in liner that gdiapers has (which is the reason i like gdiapers - well that and the velcro bit :D) LOL, I had a fun thought to put a "V" on the back like the "G" on gdiapers, get it Vdiapers for "Vrooman" Bwahahaha. But seriously I am excited to cloth diaper and it is all I have been thinking about lately, well, the only happy thoughts.

My unhappy thoughts follow the recent passing of my grandfather, the stress of trying to get time off work to drive out of state to go to his funeral, and coming up with the money to go. Its harder to come up with the extra moeny since Justin and I are trying to get a house before the baby is born, ad we may hove found one but its 1400 to move in plus having to pay rent on the apt until we can get into the house. See, I'm getting stressed just trying to think about it all. Ok, cloth diapers, fun fabrics and funky colors, WOO SAW....

So my 24th bday is coming up soon, as in on Tuesday, thats 4 days away. I have no plans at all, I was thinking about inviting a few (very few, like 2-3) friends over for tea and cupcakes but with everything thats going on right now I'm thinking not, maybe I'll pack a picnic lunch -if its not rainy and cold) and have said frineds do a picnic with me instead.

Oh yeah, since I havent been able to post for a few weeks, the baby is a boy. We're not sure of names yet but its only been 2 wks so we have plenty of time for debates lol.
