Today about washing, well, hand washing. Luckily after our first foray into it Husband and I have realized that presently we cannot constantly cloth diaper, we just don't have enough pre-folds to do so.
Our current plan is to cloth diaper during the day when we can keep a better eye on Loki and make sure the urine isn't staying close to her skin, and then we are using disposable diapers at night. We're also trying to develop our schedule of how we take care of/wash the diapers. We've been letting the dirty ones soak in cold water, and then right before we go to bed, we're using the tub to hand wash them. It's not much fun, but I'm the luckiest woman in the world, because not only does Husband help take care of the dirty diapers as they're dirty but he also helps me hand wash, poor guy, he learned to hand wash just so he could help me out and make it seem like I wasn't the only one trying to make things work.
Tell you what, I got damn lucky with Husband, he's my partner, not just the head of the house. And he always makes me feel as if I deserve to be by his side, that I am his equal in that way.
With Loki's slow but steady weight gain Husband and I made the decision that unless she wakes up we're letting her sleep for up to 6 hours a night. It was a little nerve wracking last night, just the worry in and of its self, but I think it's better all around for us.
