Something I swore I would never do...

Cloth Diapers.

I'm sure you've heard of them.

The hubby has been mentioning them for a while, but I quickly dismiss them because truthfully I find the thought of them....

Disgusting

Among other words.

Well folks, after the move me and the hubs sat down to do some budgeting. The truth is we have our heart set on a house in the near future, among other things we're saving for, and we thought it would be good to make a little road map to accomplish our goal.

I know... sounds so responsible right? ( Take a moment to be proud, go ahead :D)

Things were going dandy, until we came to the oh so dreaded "Diaper/Wipe" category.

EGADS.

The truth is Older Baby Boy is still sadly a few months away from potty training and when adding Younger Baby Boy's diapers to the mix... well, let's say the amount very nearly jawdropping.

We'd be spending more on diapers then we would be able to put towards a house... Yeah.

I was okay with it for a while, I thought I could handle that. So we don't get a house in the next 10 billion years, that's okay. If our car broke down and washer broke and the kids need new clothes... It's okay, Chris and I have two kidney's and I've heard you only need one.

Okay, so I might be exaggerating a bit :D, but you see where this is going.

Yep... cloth diapers it is.

Again, I have firmly said I would never, ever, ever do it. EVER. I then however ran into these online...
They just look so cute! One-size fits all with a fleecy inside liner and waterproof exterior. Big Boy seems to always get the worst diaper rash so maybe they will kind of help with that... maybe. They make it seem so easy (which I know it shall not be, it will be a big adjustment all the same). We got the Sage green for Little Boy and the Twilight Blue for Big Boy and surprisingly it cost the same as a month worth of diapers would have.

Still having my doubts... and lots of them, but I am willing to give it a go. We shall see if I'm going to become a firm believer.

Wish me luck! Sending a few prayers might not hurt either...

Among other things...

We have been insanely busy the past couple of months!

Since the last post we have had an almost graduation, then no graduation, family came to visit, then a job change, along with the latter came a move to Connecticut and through all of this our almost new addition has been taking up more space then my belly seems to allow!

We were so sad to leave Charleston and all our amazing friends that were there, but I feel that Connecticut is where Heavenly Father wants us to be and in the long run it will be better for our family. Anyone who knows me knows what a complete home-body I am, and though I like new places and adventures, I'm not one who enjoys having to move a home along with her. It's been hard to have faith that everything will be okay with each new move, but in each new adventure we are always blessed with a wonderful, outgoing ward, kind people and safety in our journey... and what more can you ask for then that?

Now if I could just get unpacked we would be set! :D

P.S. Yes I know... pictures pictures pictures. Hopefully I can get some up before Noah comes but we shall see :D
