Obsession

I have this obsession...it's called Cloth Diapers.  I think before I even became pregnant, I had decided to try cloth diapers.  Mainly because they are cheap.  Well, they are cheap if you can resist buying more, which is highly unlikely.  Our first purchase was GMD prefolds and Thirsties Duo Wraps.  Prefolds and covers are, by far, the most economical way to diaper a baby.  We love our prefolds.  They are durable and handle washing and bleaching well.  They also make great burp cloths and rags for wiping up spit-up and drool.  But they are white...which is slightly boring.  Thirsties covers are the best I've tried and our favorite, but they only come in so many colors.  So, I ordered a few BG 4.0 pocket diapers.  These also come in mostly solid colors, but they make a baby's bum so soft and fluffy!  I have tried a few different pocket diapers, but BG is still my favorite.  Recently, they had a B5G1 sale, so I ordered 12 new diapers to complete the colors in my stash.  You would think after that many that I would be satisfied.  Nope!  Before my packages even arrived, I was combing through the cloth diaper websites trying to decide which brand/style I want to try next.  I'm on purchasing probation right now though, so I will have to wait a few months before I can get any more.  Also, DH will KILL me if I keep buying diapers!

My next plan is to improve our storage options.  The dresser we currently have in LT's room has somewhat shallow drawers, so the diapers do not stack neatly how I want them to.  I don't really have any ideas, because his room is somewhat small, but I'm working on it.
