Right now I have a cold and it is awful. Last night I was up all night with a sore throat. I only took 1 tylenol at 1AM then another at 5 and then went to the Minute Clinic at 9AM and she told me I can take two if i need. I haven't needed to but if I can't sleep tonight I might have to. I think not sleeping is making it worse. I did sleep from about noon to 5 today. Branden has to work from 6 to 2am and he just called and thinks he has a pinched nerve. Poor guy, if he is in pain something must be wrong. He never complains when he is in pain or sick. I am hoping it goes away or else we will be heading to the ER.

I am excited for my doctor appointment on Tuesday. It got rescheduled because my doctor is sick so I have to see another doctor. Class also start on Tuesday so I go to the doctor then have class all day. I am not looking forward to that. I just want to hear the baby's heartbeat to make sure he or she is ok. I also have anther ultrasound on the 20th for our 12 week NT scan. I can not wait. I think we will get a good picture of the baby. I hope we can find out what we are having. I have this insanely strong feeling we are having a boy so I kind of want to know if I am right lol. Everyone else thinks girl except Branden, he also thinks boy but both our Mom's think girl. Either way we are going to be so happy. I also just want to start calling this baby a name and not baby all the time. If we can't find out I won't be to upset though, I know we will have to wait till the 20 week one to know for sure anyway and even then you can get wrong results.

Not to much else has been going on just work and now school starting. I promise to update more!

VS.

Ever since my first pregnancy, that sadly ended in a miscarriage, I have known I wanted to do cloth diapers for my baby. I love doing things that are environmentally awesome and good for my future children. Cloth diapers seemed like a no brainer for me.

Ever since I have been looking at many different brands and types. I am not a huge nut about covers so that wasn't my main concern. I didn't care how cute they were so I focused mainly on what would be the easiest to use for myself and other family members that may watch the baby.

My first thought was Gdiapers. They seemed really easy and a good option for using cloth or disposable inserts in case you are on vacation or having a babysitter. They seemed to be gaining popularity and just over all seemed simple but I am not 100% set on them. I may buy a few for babysitters or back ups.

I went looking further and found Flip diapers. These are so far the top runner. I love that they have a plastic type cover so you basically only need a couple covers and you don't have to throw those in the washer you can wipe them down unless they get very gross from a poopy diaper but as long as they don't get soiled you just change the inserts. I think that seems to be the easiest option yet. I think the pocket ones seem nice but the fact that you have to wash each cover over and over again seems like you would end up doing a lot of laundry which kind of prevents the purpose of saving the environment in my opinion. I would rather buy a bunch of inserts and have maybe 4 to 6 covers (not 100% sure on how many you need at first) and only need to wash the inserts maybe 2 times per week instead of every other day which I have seen people say is a pretty common washing cycle for cloth diapers. I could be wrong on this though so don't hold me to it. I am by no means an expert but so far this seems to be what we will be getting as our main diaper system.

I am not opposed to other diaper systems because I am sure we might want a few cute covers but overall on a daily basis that is not going to be the main concern. If anyone has an tips or uses Flip's and can give me pointers on how many covers to buy that would be awesome.

Oh and on another cool note the covers can be worn from newborn to the end of potty training! Talk about saving money!
