Cloth Diapers

As some of my long time friends have mentioned, I've become quite "green." I've converted most of my cleaning products to organic & natural cleaning supplies, I buy a lot of organic fruits and veggies, and we recycle, and try to do things that are better for the enviornment. Cloth diapers are just another way to help the enviorment and our pocket book.
Why choose a cloth diaper? They are cheaper, better for the the baby, better for the environment, and why not give it a try!? At first mention of cloth, I've recieved a lot of strange looks, not to mention comments. However, cloth diapers have come a long way! Sure you can still get the typical "prefold" diapers, (like the ones you see people using as burp rags, or cleaning rags) fold them, pin them, and then cover them; or, you can venture off into modern day cloth and use AIO, (all in ones)pocket diapers, fitted diapers with covers, or bio degradable flushable diapers!
I won't be an "exclusive" cloth only diaper girl. When we travel and what not I'm not going to bring along diapers that I have to bring home. I did find a new diaper that is flushable and biodegradable that I would like to try! These are called gdiapers. They seem easy enough, and they won't sit in our land fills for 10 plus years!
Not only has the cloth diaper market changed but they've creates some great names for them such as Fuzzi Bunz, bum genius, swaddlebees, bummis kissaluvs, and thelist goes on and on.
Will it be harder? Maybe, but I also am fortunate enough to be able to be a work at home mom. My days will consist of taking care of my child, hanging out with my friends and moms with stroller strides, (which I highly encourage every new mom to look into!)and growing my Movin' Mamas buisness. I will mention that having a 100% supportive husband is what makes all of this possible! I am super lucky to have a husband who is encouraging, and involved! Thanks Clay! Just in case I haven't mentioned it in awhile (which I'm sure I have not) I love my life!

One More week!

We'll know if we're having a boy or girl next Wednesday afternoon! At first I wasn't too anxious about finding out. I've been excited, but now that the ultrasound is schedled...I CAN'T WAIT!! I guess it will make the "it" factor go away, and make the idea of "it" being an actual baby more real. Not to mention there are people out there (and you all know who you are) insist on calling it a he or a she. Although, more seem to lean to the "she" side. So, we'll have to see! And soon, the name game will begin! That should be fun (wink)

Happy Mommies Day!

Leading up to Mother's Day people continued to ask me if I was looking forward to my first. Honestly, I don't feel like "a mother" just yet. Sure, I have a being growing inside of me, making me look and feel awkward in my own skin, but the act of being a mom seems to be what is celebrated on Mother's Day. My husband, and others around didn't feel quite the same as I. I awoke to my husband handing me a pregnat precious moment. "You're Due For A Lifetime of Happiness" is the title. I LOVE IT! Everytime I passed a Hallmark store I contined to look for one. For those of you who don't know, I collect
Precious Moments. I have since I was a little girl, and since I've been pregnant I've wanted one that would signify this stepping stone in my life. So, Clay did his research and found the perfect mommy-to-be Mother's Day gift!
