bum genius contest

After much deliberation and way too much hesitation, I've finally decided to enter the wonderful world of cloth diapering. Some of you will say I've lost my mind, but there are honestly so many pros as compared to disposables. It's better for the environment, saves money over time, eliminates exposing your baby to the chemicals in disposables, helps potty training to happen faster (as babies feel natural wetness when they potty), and they are CUTE! These are just a few of the pros.

The hardest part of this decision is to decide which brand, style, and type of cloth diapering to go with. I am really interested in two options: "bum genius one-size" cloth diapers and "bummis" cotton prefold diapers with "super whisper wrap" covers. These represent two TOTALLY different types of cloth diapering: prefolds (updated version of what our moms had before the disposable was invented - lots of flexibility in fit since you choose the fold that works best for your baby) and all-in-ones (AOI's) which are a newer take on cloth diapering and combine the style and ease of a disposable (they go right on with no folding, pinning, etc.) and all the wonderful benefits of cloth. A decision must be made ;0)

To this end, I've been researching endlessly online and found a contest offering 6 free bum genius one-size diapers to the winner! Well I couldn't pass that up!

Oh yes... some of you may wonder why I'm researching cloth diapering when B is 16 months old and almost ready to potty train. So, here's to sharing fun news for those of you we haven't had a chance to tell yet: we're expecting baby number 4! Another sweet surprise from the Lord and a promise of much more diapering to come!
