Yay For New Cloth Diapers!!!

Within the past week we have been able to get a few new cloth diapers for Miss Sweet Pea. Some have been great and others ehhh. Starting with the ehhh, Swaddlebees AIO/pocket diaper. I love the idea behind this diaper but it needs to be redesigned. They are sized very small especially through the middle where you don't want any diaper to be small. If it didn't have padding I think it could be on the verge of being a thong-diaper...not good. Thankfully I only washed one of the two ordered so the new one is going back and the other one is going up for sale.

Onto the good. I decided to try the large size Thirsties fitted diapers for Sweet Pea because I liked the look of the small ones I had ordered. They work great!! It held up as long as one of our pocket diapers with no leaks at all. I put in a stay-dry doubler and couldn't be more pleased. Now I just need to make some bigger soakers to use with them.

Now I may be speaking too soon on this next one but I think I may have found my favorite pocket diaper. I don't know how I came across Montana's Diaper Store but I did and found their Haute Pocket one-size pocket diaper. They had some seconds so I ordered one. This think has the softest fleece I have seen on a diaper, comes with either snaps or Velcro, and can fit from 8-35 pounds. It fit great on Sweet Pea and we'll see in the morning if it lasts through the night. This girl is a super soaker and I have to use two microterry inserts and sometimes a hemp insert to prevent leaks at night. I hope that the Haute Pockets work out for at night since they cost less than the bumGenius pockets and come with snaps. Though I like how quick Velcro is, snaps seem to hold up better for us.

Everything with #2 is still going well. I got to meet the other midwife this week and she is amazing. Sweet as can be. I really hope that I get to work with her for delivery. She was so excited that I want to do a VBAC and was very encouraging about it!! If this little guy stays in until next Thursday I'll be having one more ultrasound just to make sure he hasn't flipped and that my fluid levels are still ok. I don't think he's flipped with the way I've been feeling. I need to call my physical therapist to be sister to see if she can tell me a way to stretch out my leg muscles while big and large. If I was not pregnant I could do this without a problem but since I can't really bend over or lay on my back I need another solution or for this kid to come out soon.

Sadly we are still waiting to hear news on the house. I am so thankful that our realtor is working so hard to get answers from the bank for us. She's so angry we don't know anything yet and I think she might explode if she doesn't get an answer next week. Just watch the day she gets a price I'll be in labor. I'll take it though because that will mean baby is out of me and we're one step closer to getting a house.

I must confess that I have turned into a sugar junkie in the past week and a half-ish. So far during this pregnancy I have been good about sugar but oh how things have changed. I have had so much ice cream, chocolate, brownies, pop, and other sugar stuff it's ridiculous. I gained 3 pounds this past week!! That's the highest weight gain I've had between visits in a while. I just hope all that weight is on me and not the kid because he would be about 7 pounds by now and that's not good with 4-5 weeks to go. He needs to stay little, I can handle getting big right now, but he needs to stay under 7.5. My sister and I weren't over 6.6 so I'm hoping that I have babies like my mom. We'll see soon enough though.
