Adventures in cloth diapering!

Well, we've only got one disposable diaper left, and right now it's being saved for a rainy day (well one newborn size diaper left, we have like 5 size 1 diapers that were given to us after she was born) She also got her first real tub bath today, and she was not very happy with the water, let me tell you what. After that we proceeded to put on her first cloth diaper, and I did it wrong :( I thought something wasn't wright, but couldn't put my finger on it till I was nursing her and surfing you tube about cloth diapering. Needless to say I felt rather silly and slow. So after she was done eating we took it off and started over, getting it right this time thankfully. I'll be honest though, cloth diapers are not flattering to a baby girl's figure.
Husband was joking about 'fat bottomed girls' and then Loki started fussing, so laughing at himself and the timing of her fussing Husband said he would be nice and not make fun of her newest fashion accessory. Luckily for me Husband didn't make me feel silly or like an idiot for getting things wrong or for being so nervous about all this. And maybe he's right, I'm sure everything will go fairly well, worst case scenario we'll just have loads more laundry to do, and we'll be saving money not buying disposable diapers. Now I just have to get over my apprehension and hope that soon I'll have the extra money to buy the two different sizes of knitting needles so I can start making my own cloth diaper covers.
Our first change went well, even though Loki hadn't wet her diaper, the fabric was just slightly damp from her bath earlier. But we had a successful change, and even when Loki started urinating during the change it was no worries, thanks to my quick movements in getting wipe under her so the urine didn't get on her onesie.
All in all, today will be good, I'm sure of it.


I hope. 

New Project

Thanks to my little sister, I'm actually going to be voluntarily taking tons of pictures of my daughter. At her suggestion I am going to take a pictures of Loki every morning when we get ready for the day, Sister wanted it so she could see what Loki wears every day, but MawMa gave me a different perspective, if you think about it wouldn't it be cool to have a little slide show of every day of her first year? Just to see how she's growing day to day. And yeah, you won't see much change at first, but as it goes that would just be cool to see.
In more baby news, we'll be running out of the last of our disposable diapers probably tonight or tomorrow morning, so then it's the (slightly scary) plunge into cloth diapers. And I for one am scared shit-less. Husband has no worries, and I so should be taking a page from his book, but let's be honest....I am very good at stressing myself out for no damn reason.
In further baby news, my daughter is adorable :)
