Adventures in Cloth Diapering

While I was pregnant, Brad & I decided we wanted to try cloth diapering.  I started looking online & became overwhelmed pretty quickly!  It's not like back in the day where you have cloth, pins, and rubber pants.  There are so many different kinds now & lots of cute designs.  We bought a couple different kinds to try out.  Then we discovered Itsy Bitsy Bums & their diaper trial.  We got to try out many different types of cloth diapers for 3 weeks.  Then we send back what we don't want & get a refund.  It was way more fun than I thought it would be!  Cloth is really good for us, because Kiley goes through sooooo many diapers.  I can't even count the times we will change her & not 2 mintues later, she needs changed again!!  And really, cloth diapering isn't that much more work & it saves money in the long run (plus there's less trash which is always a plus!).  I still need to get some more, because like I said before, we go through lots of diapers & I don't want to have to do laundry every single day.  I got a couple of really cute diapers from Baby Steals for half price!  Here is the super cute one that looks like blue jeans!


Super Cute Cloth Diaper!



In other news:  Kiley is doing GREAT on the Zantac.  Apparantly it tastes very yucky, but we're managing.  She doesn't spit up nearly as much as she used to & she's not making gurgling/gagging/choking noises when she sleeps anymore.  Plus, she doesn't cry as much & she sleeps better (Enough sleep=Happy Kiley!)  I can only imagine how unhappy she was...basically having heartburn & having to lay on your back & not be able to do anything about it.  Anyway, we are very glad she is feeling better!
Also, I think it's funny how active Kiley is; she always moved a lot during ultrasounds too.  If you hold her, she always wants to be looking around, or standing up, or kicking; she thinks she's big stuff.  During tummy time, she kicks like crazy.  I'm sure we'll have our hands full once she starts crawling!
