So lately I have been cloth diaper obsessed.  Like, seriously OBSESSED.  Phil told me to get a hobby… I bet he regrets that statement.  Hehehe.  I almost don’t want to admit that I’ve purchased 2 girly bumGenius 4.0s for future BabyK#2 in case it’s a girl.  :-/  I’m not even pregnant.  Oops…  BUT one of them was on sale because it was going to be discontinued.  So, whatev.  If I end up with another boy I can sell them for what I paid since they will be staying in the packaging until I know if BabyK#2 is a boy or girl.  ANYWAYS... 

I recently purchased some 4.0s from a gal for real cheap because the Velcro was no good.  I took all the Velcro off and converted them to snaps.  I didn’t do too bad!  Obviously the more practice I get the better they’ll look.  During my lunch hour I set up shop at work.  :)


Another gal recently gave me 12 diapers that she was just going to throw away because the Velcro was bad.  There is nothing else wrong with them and she asked if I wanted them.  Um, YES!  So I have even more diapers to convert.  :)

I’m also excited to report that we finally seem to have a nighttime cloth that works for Remy! When we first started cloth when he was about 6 months old he would leak through everything we tried at night.  Not that we tried much but disposables seemed to work so we just stuck with them for nighttime only.  For the last few months he’s been waking up damp with disposables.  We’ve tried multiple brands and no luck.  So after research and asking other mommas on my cloth diaper sites for options that work for them we decided to try stuffing a 4.0 with a flip organic cotton nighttime & microfiber and WHALA!  Bullet proof.  We also purchased a bamboo fitted to try with a BG flip and tried that for the first time last night and he woke up dry once again!  I’m so excited that we finally found something that works.  I know you non-cd users won’t care but this is exciting to me.   Now he will have a cute toosh all day & night.  :) 

Last but not least, we decided to switch to cloth wipes.  It’s been sooo annoying dealing with disposable wipes and cloth.  Cloth goes in the wet bag and then you have to separate wipes to throw them away.  Just one more step that I don’t care to deal with.  So 4 receiving blankets and a few hours later we have 27 cloth wipes.  We haven’t started yet because I still need to make my solution but I’ll be doing that tonight!  It will be so nice to just wipe and throw it in the diaper.  Plus it will help his toosh when he’s got a rash because disposables burn so bad.  Poor little guy screams and shakes really bad when he’s got a rash.  So sad. :(  Here's our cute wipes!  They won't stay cute for long... haha.




And I'll leave you with a cute toosh.  :)

It sure is annoying using disposable woes and separating then out. I know it's not THAT big of a deal but annoying. I never really thought of going cloth wipes. Let me know how they're working...
