I am going to break down the different types of diapers that are available. There are many different varieties of brands and styles. I have tried all of these types, so if you want to see my opinion on my favorite or least favorite, just let me know. Here's a breakdown of which each kind are and how they work.
Flats - These are one-layer diapers, generally made out of cotton and are the most “old-fashioned” choice. The advantages are that they dry extremely quickly and fit a large range of size. The disadvantages are the folding and pinning that are required.
Prefolds - They are similar to flats, but have multiple layers with more layering in the middle. The Gerber diapers you see at Target and Walmart are prefolds, but they aren’t nearly as absorbent as the Chinese prefolds (CPF's) you can buy on-line. Prefolds come in bleached or unbleached. Prefolds need to be pinned, snappi’ed, or folded into a trim fitting wrap-style cover. Hemp prefolds are another variation and are more absorbent but much more expensive than cotton prefolds, but can be a good option for nighttime diapering.
Fitted - Fitted diapers have elastic at the legs and back and basically look like a disposable diaper (only much cuter, of course). They can have velcro or snap fasteners, plain or printed outers, and can be made from a variety of materials like organic cotton or hemp.
Covers - there are several different styles of covers: 1) wrap – this refers to covers, which can be velcro or snap closing, that fasten in front, like disposable diapers. 2) side closing – these are usually snap closing covers, but there are some side-aplix covers out there. They can be used with fitteds or pinned prefolds. 3) Pull on.
All-in-One - All-in-ones are the absorbent part of the diaper and the cover combined into a single diaper, just like disposables. They come in snap or velcro closures, as well.
Pockets - These have a layer of fleece sewn to a cover (either fleece or PUL) with an opening in the back so that the inside of the diaper can be stuffed with any absorbant layer from CPF’s, to specially made stuffers, hemp prefolds, or even hand towels.

5 Years - Happy Anniversary!
It has been 5 years that Mr. Man and I have been together. Five years of fun loving family adventures! It is crazy to think that 5 years ago I married my high school sweetheart. 5 years ago, I was 17 and barely graduated from high school. 5 years ago I said "I do" and moved to another state.
Our life together has been remarkable. We have done exactly what we have wanted and so much more. Yes, we each have given up some things in life for this adventure, but it has never stopped us from reaching out to achieve our goals and have our own life. My husband has given me the greatest opportunity to be my own person, have my own friends, and create my own future. We may be as one, but we also reach out to meet our own needs and goals in life. It has been 4 years that I have been unemployed. 4 years of being a stay at home wife/Mom and half of that a full time student. He has given me the courage to reach out and make my dreams come true. Some say fairy tales are not true, do not happen. But I beg to differ. Our life has seemed to work itself out and things have happened in the most perfect timing. I have always said that God was on our side, and he always seems to prove himself (not that he needs to). Mr. Man may not be the first person I see when I wake up or the last person I see when I lay my head down at night, but he is forever in my thoughts and dreams. Baby A is so lucky to have such a wonderful Dad, and I know she already knows it. It's such an amazing feeling to be in love, and know that you did everything right... that all this was meant to be. I have never felt so lucky and blessed in my life. To know that my husband sacrifices just about everything for his family is such an amazing thing he could do for us.
Most military wives feel that they have to live in the shadows of their husbands. It's them that gets the recognition for their hard work and sacrifices... and sometimes the families left behind do not get that appreciation and respect that they deserve. I have never once felt like I live in the shadow of my husband. I do not think people understand the sacrifice I (and our daughter) make as part of his family, but I do not ever feel like I am forgotten or just a bump on a log. Mr. Man encourages me to do my own thing, create my own life, support myself, do my own things, be my own person, love in my own way, do everything my own way and the way I want, the way that makes me happy and satisfied. And honestly, even though I technically can not speak for him, I believe he feels the same way. I believe he knows he can do what he pleases, go where he wants, be who he wants to be, have his own friends, create his own future, and everything else. And I think this is what makes our love so strong. Knowing that we are our own separate people, but in the end we are as one. I am proud to call him my husband and the father of my child. He is the most amazing gift God could have ever given me, and for that I will never take him for granted.
On this day, we celebrate 5 years of marriage a part, physically. But emotionally we are in step every second of the way.

Cloth Diapering: What you will need
I started this series to try and answer some people's questions on cloth diapers and how it works. If you missed the other post and are interested, please go check it out.
When you are preparing to cloth diaper, you can never start too early with your research. There are so many options, and not only do you need diapers, but you also need accessories.
One of the questions I have received is "How many diapers does it take to get started?" With this question in mind, I decided to add in all of what you would need in order to successfully cloth diaper. In reality, it depends on your personal lifestyle and your intentions with cloth diapering. Are you doing it to save money? Are you doing it to save the environment? Are you doing it for the health of your child? Do you have a budget? Will you be traveling with cloth diapers? Are you doing it as a fashion statement? Etc. Many questions to take into account. With that in mind, I have broken it down (based on my experience) as to what you will need and how to get started.
Common sense says you will need diapers. Going back to your goals, intentions, and lifestyle, you will need to think about this. How often do you plan to wash? I personally wash every 2 to 3 days. I do not want my dirty diapers sitting for a long time. With that in mind, I decided that I needed about 20 to 30 diapers. On average, a newborn baby can use anywhere from10 to 14 diapers a day and a toddler will go through less, say 6 to 10. Now ideally with cloth diapers, you will not need to change near as often as with disposables. That is something I learned quick. If you want to wash everyday, then you could get away with 15. Or if you do not want to wash but once a week, you would need a lot more.
Not only do you need a diaper system, but you will also need a few accessories to go along. You will need a diaper pail or wet bag. I personally like wet bags better because I can tote them around the house with me or take them up and down the stairs with me. I just do not have enough room to have a diaper pail in her room and in the living room. However, if you use a diaper pail, you will need the pail and a pail liner. If you go with a wet bag, you will just get those. Both you will have to wash each of these, so you will want to make sure that you have an extra of each when a load is washing. For me, I have an up and down stairs so I have four for when I am washing. If you plan to cloth diaper while traveling, then you will need travel size wet bags. I have 3 because you will want a new one for every outing and (of course) you will need to wash these once you use them.
Chances of your baby getting a diaper rash with cloth diapers is lower than with disposables; however, it is still something you will want to consider. With cloth diapers, you can only use all natural products. Anything else will tear up the insides of the diapers and make them nonabsorbent. With this said, you will need an all natural diaper ointment. Another thing to consider is liners to protect the diapers. I know some people who will take the chance with just every day ointments, like Desitin or A+D. With this, they will use a fleece liner inside the diaper, up against the baby's skin to protect the diaper. This is possible. In that case, you would want a diaper liner. They have flushable ones and washable ones, too. I also know some people who take extra caution with their diapers and use an all natural diaper cream AND a liner. The decision is yours and what you think is best for your child and your diapers.
Most pocket diapers will come with its inserts. Some even come with a newborn insert and a larger insert. These are generally One Size pocket diapers; however, there are some options where you have to buy the inserts separately. This could be the case if you choose to go with a hybrid or diaper cover. Another thing to consider is whether your child is a heavy wetter or not, even if it is only at night. Then you would want to add a doubler to maximize the absorbency.
Another option to add to your cloth diapering experience is cloth wipes. Now that is kind of a topic on its own, and maybe towards the end of this "series" I will do a post on it. But to just get the basics out there, it is an option. I personally use disposable wipes on the go because I spray each wipe before I use it at home. Traveling and days out, that is just not worthy of my time. However, it does save our disposable wipes for out and about, and cloth wipes do absorb and clean up easier than disposables. Compared to Mr. Man having to use 6-8 wipes on a poopy diaper, he can use just 1 cloth wipe. Sometimes I will double clean with two wipes, but that is just how I am. So with cloth wipes, there are different options. So I guess I should save that as another post, so this one does not get too long. Be on the lookout for it.
Overall, these are the things that you could potentially need in your cloth diapering kit. But to get started, for the ones that want to take it nice and slow, just a few diapers of your choice and a wet bag will have you on your way.
Until next time.

Two Month -- Followups
Since our Two month appointment, we have had two followups. I figured it was time to update what had been going on.
The first followup appointment Baby A had gained 5 ounces. It was 10 days after her two month appointment. But the doctor did not think it was enough because he is trying to make up for lost time. I had been doing most of what he asked of me. Feeding every two hours, waking once at night, and taking FenuGreek. The only thing I was not doing was something that he offered as an option, which was supplement with formula. I knew that I did not want to supplement with formula on the first try. I really wanted to give it all I had before supplementing because I just did not want to loose my supply. Needless to say, it wasn't enough in the doctor's eyes. So he scheduled for another appointment in a week and gave me more recommendations. Supplement with formula or breastmilk after every feeding and wake her more often in the night and jump up my calorie intake. I had stopped working out and had already started kicking up my calorie intake, so that was already happening. I tried waking her in the night more often, but she just would not have it. She loves her sleep and she just couldn't be bothered. I tried everything from unswaddling her to changing her diaper to burping her to tickling her feet. Just about everything I could think of except for one option a pediatrician had recommended in the hospital after we gave birth - a bath. One night during that week I did try to wet her just to wake her up. It caused a screaming, tantrum, want to pull my hair out fit for the WHOLE entire night. I had decided never again. Baby A does not cry. She does not scream, she is a good baby. So this was so unlike her and just proof that she wanted me to leave her alone and let her sleep. Needless to say the feedings during the night were pointless because I would wake her up, get her on my breast, then she would pass out before taking anything in. I was losing sleep, she was losing sleep, and it was all for nothing. We went back to the doctor's office last week on Thursday and she had gained 3 ounces. In my eyes, she's gaining. That's great.
Well, still not enough. With this appointment that stressed supplementing. Me still grinding my teeth, I think to myself, "Ok, I can try supplementing with breastmilk after every feeding. If it doesn't work, then I know I really gave it my all and Baby A is just meant to be a small baby." Wondering where that came from? Think about it.... I am 4'11 and weighed around 100 pounds prepregnancy. Mr. Man is about 5'5 or 5'6 and weighs less than 160 at his biggest. (He drops to 140 during his cutting time. Before he started working out and was just straggly, he weighed about 150.) We are small people. There's not much more you can expect from our child. Anyway, so here we are supplementing with pumped breastmilk after every feeding. I weighed Baby A yesterday and she has gained no more than the normal. She denies the bottle most of the time but if she does take it in, she loses it not long after that. We have another appointment on Thursday, and I get to see another doctor. Hopefully, he will be acceptable to Baby A's size so we can get back to sleeping 7-10 hour nights and being rest up for fun-filled days.
And yes, they did send me home with formula. But I wanted to try the breastmilk first. Needless to say that isn't working and if it that is making her spit up after feedings, what do you think the formula will do? Only be worse because it has more calories. She's spitting up from overeating. It's obvious. I'm pretty convinced that she is completely normal. My milk is completely normal. And she is just meant to be a small baby.
I'm interested in other people's opinions and experiences if you have them!

Cloth Diapering: Basics
I have had a lot of emails asking me if we are still cloth diapering and other basic questions of cloth diapering, so I thought as I got time I would write out a blog post and hopefully get all the questions answered. But if you still have more questions or would like to see a diaper I have been put on my daughter, please let me know. I can try to do a video review or take gradual pictures. Whichever I can find the time for. And by no means am I a pro. I am just beginning just like any normal person, but I will give my best to give my opinions and experiences to you.
The first question is if we are still cloth diapering. The answer is - Yes! I absolutely love cloth diapering. I have even began to venture out to other techniques and styles as I have decided to cloth diaper full time. In the beginning, I was only going to cloth diaper at home and use disposables when we went out and on vacations. But I immediately fell in love, as so did Mr. Man, so I have been purchasing more travel friendly diapers to try out.
This next question is a very common question. One that I also had when I first started with the idea of cloth diapering. Also one that drove me away from wanting to cloth diaper. Many of you know I went back and forth on whether or not I was going to do it. I felt overwhelmed by the options, by the price, and by the YouTube videos I saw of other Moms doing it. Advice... Like I said before, I am not a pro. I have only been doing this for a couple of months, BUT - Let me tell you, first, that if you want to cloth diaper, try it out for yourself. Do not be intimidated by it, do not invest too much many into it (if you are unsure about it), but please do take the time to buy quality and easy diapers to get you started. Then venture out to the more time consuming, more pieces, more varieties when you are settled in the thought of cloth diapering. My advice to getting started is simple. I would first choose your style (to me, pockets seemed the easiest). Then invest in a good brand name diaper. One that has great reviews and is reliable. Buy two or three or however many you want. Try it out on your child first. The worst thing you could do in the beginning when you are on edge is overwhelm yourself. I have to be honest that cloth diapering is not for everyone, but anyone can do it. It just takes finding the right diaper for you.
In my case, I knew which type of diapers I wanted. I never thought I would venture out farther because I was "afraid" of it. However, once I got my feet wet, I took off running with it. Here is a small list of some top brand cloth diapers that would be worth being a start to your cloth diaper stash: FuzziBunz, BumGenius, and Rumparooz. Now, I have to say that I would go with BumGenius or FuzziBunz over the Rumparooz. Now these 3 brands all offer an AIO (All-In-One), Hybrid, or OS (One Size) Pocket style diaper.
Ok, now Baby A is asking for her Mommy, so I will end there and carry on as soon as I get the chance on what you will need to cloth diaper. See you again soon!

Maternity Pictures
Here are a few pictures from our maternity session. I don't think I ever uploaded any, so I was going through them to start Baby A's scrapbook I thought I would upload here, too. I hope you enjoy them.
"Buttons and Bows"
Mr. Man obsessed with my popped out belly button.
I love this one!
Also like this one :)
I used my wedding tiara for this picture. Love the backdrop.
Of course a pair of her shoes!
