The Gender Announcement!
The pitter patter of little feet!

We are very excited to be welcoming a baby boy into our family! Yay!
I had to stop myself from panicking about the fact that Molly’s room is VERY pink and these two will be sharing a room. It can be overwhelming when gender neutral stuff isn’t common; all my blankets, burp rags, everything are pink! I think if I had purchased all our baby things, I would have tried to go gender neutral, but we were given almost everything as gifts or hand me downs!
I believe God will provide and I’ve already been planning out some simple changes to make the nursery more neutral, which I of course will share with you all.
As overwhelming as it is at first to learn that you have to re-do everything– I am way excited to have a FABULOUS reason to redecorate!!
If I don’t get back on here before Christmas, I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Blessings to you all!
Cloth Diapering Here We Come!
Molly and I had our first few weeks of cloth diapering!
Here she is in the first cloth diaper I put her in. She was actually pretty excited about it!
At this point, I have two Econobum diaper covers and inserts, and half a dozen Gerber prefolds, which I don’t really care for. I use them because they are what I have. I am really looking forward to two more Econobums arriving sometime this week!
I realize I am going to need WAY more than 4 covers and prefolds to diaper Molly through the week. As it stands, I am using cloth for a day, giving myself a day to wash and dry them, and then cloth diapering the next day. So I am able to use cloth every 2-3 days.
I figure I have reduced our disposable dependence by about 1/3. I’m okay with that at this point.
Last night, I was scouring the web looking for helpful reviews on diapers, and came across this website called allaboutclothdiapers.com. I was super pumped to read that she is having 12 days of Her Favorite Things Giveaways! Of course I will be entering for all the remaining days and hoping to win some free cloth diapers! I could SO use some more!
