Plei, I really admire you for using cloth diapers. Seriously.
I wouldn't have had the guts to do it if it hadn't been for Stephanie and Ellie! Okay, and for that period where I was at home with her and she was stuck in size 2 (AKA, can't bulk buy 'em) diapers, and money was tight. But Stephanie totally gave me the advice I needed to go cloth.
It's way easier than I thought it would be, but I expect it would be next to impossible if you don't have your own washer/dryer.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's the biggest reason we didn't do it. I have to imagine that doing it just for the time I'd be home on maternity leave would save so much money. *IF* we move to a place where we have a washer/dryer in the house, I think I'll try it. When I add up how much I've spent on diapers, it almost makes me cry.

Oh, and in the latest "What the shit" moments with ridonkulous "friends"...
My co-host for B's shower, M, told B the other night that I told M I didn't want to do the shower and that I was did under "duress" and it was a "huge burden".
First of all, how effing high school.
And B) who tells someone that???

Sean, much fingercrossing and good news ma for you both.
It's the biggest reason we didn't do it. I have to imagine that doing it just for the time I'd be home on maternity leave would save so much money. *IF* we move to a place where we have a washer/dryer in the house, I think I'll try it.

Things to keep in mind if Cloth Diapering Future Miracleborns:
- Okay, so if you are Stephanie, you're totally able to deal with a newborn and cloth diapers. But you're also the kind of person who can rock the bar exam RIGHT AFTER giving birth. Stephanie rules. I have Stephanie awe. It's probably good to TRY to be like Stephanie (and to follow the WWSD guidelines). However, if you're like me, and find that putting on clothing is difficult and confusing enough in those first few weeks after giving birth, use the disposables and wait until your brain is back to start on cloth.
- Pocket diapers are awesome, and have a decent resale value. Plus, they're pretty much idiot proof, because once they are stuffed, they go on like a 'sposie. You'll need at least two dozen. The new one-sizes, like BumGenius, make it way easier to deal with size changes.
- All in ones are nice, but take for-ever to dry.
- A stash of 'sposies for going out makes life easier. I've done both ways, and prefer 'sposies if I'm going to be away from the house for an extended period of time.
- Hemp with a fleece liner and a wool cover = perfect overnight diaper.
