Day Two

Well cloth diaper day two went even better than day one. The girls woke up with wet diapers but dry pjs - success!! The poos were pretty messy today and I has me re-thinking some of the foods they eat! Ha! I do need to make my fleece liners a bit bigger especially in the back. The covers and fitteds do seem to be ok. It is funny how differently they fit on each girl. Payton is in the size L diapers and Sydney in the M. I have been putting them both in the M covers which seem to fit them both pretty well. I even put on pfs with snappis under their lined bathing suits today. They stuck out of the side but seemed to work just s well as the little swimmers.

Payton and Sydney crawled all around the back yard and in and out of the baby pool before I took them in the bigger pool with the other kiddos. We all had a nice time swimming together. Colin was so cute swimming and playing Sydney while I swam with Payton. There is something so endearing and sweet about watching the bigger kids caring for and lovingly entertaining the little ones. :)

Cloth Diaper Day

Today has been cloth diaper day #1... So far so good.
I have managed to diaper my girls all day with no leaks!
I even survived the 3 poos... pretty messy but not too bad. I do think there might be a diaper sprayer in my future! LOL

I also got two more diaper packages in the mail... 10 litewrap covers and 2 Happy Heiny fitteds, 1 Little Beetle Fitted and a Liz Cloth fitted. Oh boy, more to try!! LOL

I am hoping to find dry and happy babies tomorrow morning... :)

Almost ready

Here are my diapers... almost ready for wear! Looks like fun, right???

I can't wait for the rest of it to come... yes, I think I might be addicted!! LOL I'm trying to stay away from DiaperSwappers until I actually try some of these out and decide what I like.

I have fleece ready to make into liners for both dryness and also to help with washing out the poo. I will keep you posted on how it all works out for me. :)

My Diapers are HERE!!

Yeah!! I got a package today full of fluffy fitted Swaddlebees diapers!! And the covers I ordered too! I am so excited and can't wait until the rest of my things come and I can get started cloth diapering.

Look how nice they are!! Yay!!

Our first Cloth butts

Here are Sydney and Payton trying out their first cloth diapers... I just used some old Gerber prefolds that I had used as burp cloths since Colin was a baby but these cover are new... aren't they cute!! Don't you just love those fluffy butts??

Cloth Diapers

I have decided to give cloth diapering a shot. With twins, it seems that I am always running out of diapers. I head to walmart or target almost every week to pick up another case of diapers. I guess my girls are real poopers!! LOL In all seriousness, I have thought about cloth diapering for quite a while and wanted to try it when the twins were on the way but after they came, I am glad that I didnt start right away. I am just now starting to feel in control of our household and I know that extra laundry would have put me over the edge even just a few months ago.

A cloth diapering friend of mine turned me on to a site called DiaperSwappers. (Thanks Nicholle!!) And as the name says, it is an online community all about cloth diapering. I just love it! The Moms that are there are so helpful and friendly. I just love how welcoming they are to a newcomer. I have been able to purchase many different kinds of diapers to try with the girls but more than that, I found a place to ask the questions I have and get support as I try something new.

I have now purchased some Swaddlebees fitted diapers as well as a few Bummis and Thirsties covers. I can't wait until they get here!
