Our first Mud Butt.

I got to pick up our first Mud Butt diaper today....isn't it ADORABLE!?  I told Griffin he could put it on his buddy, Flopsie.  Then Griffin wanted to get out one of his old bottles and feed Flopsie. (Yes, we use flour as "formula"!)  He's going to be a fantastic big brother someday.

I was admiring the diaper tonight, thinking about how fun it will be to have our baby in it, and fear crossed my mind, what if we never have a baby?  I told myself to quit thinking that way, and just enjoy the moment.  So, I did!

Kudos to Carrie at Mud Butt Cloth Diapers for the design and great work!

Mandi...how cute will photos be in this diaper!?!

Baby's 1st Diaper, almost done!

Carrie from Mud Butt is nearly done with our unborn baby's first diaper.  (FYI--Not only is our baby unborn, but we still don't know when, where, and from whom he or she will arrive...I didn't want you to get too excited if you saw the diaper post!)

Ours is the brown diaper with the orange BOOM BOOM.  Love it!

Acting Like an Expecting Mom

I think you all know that after a little husband convincing on my end, we've decided our next baby will be cloth diapered.  A while ago I met with a very nice and talented women, who also happens to be an adoptive mother of two, who makes cloth diapers.  She showed me how they "work" and her "factory" where she sews them in her basement.  It was so helpful.  She recently unveiled a great new diaper and announced that several would be available for sale today.  I LOVED the new limited edition diaper, and it was a Wednesday (my day off), so I figured that must be a sign that I should buy one!  :)  The first of hopefully many diapers!!  I chose brown with a orange BOOM BOOM so it would be boy and girl friendly.  Anyway, I had a big smile on my face when I clicked on "complete order".  I'm cautious enough to realize that our situation may not work out as we are hoping, but in the mean time I truly feel that we should live life as expecting parents.  I think we deserve to celebrate with hope and anticipation what is to come.  It feels good to be expecting again.  (And, no, we don't have a match....YET!)
