27 weeks

     Let's see, I'm 27 weeks and three days. Or something. What am I doing with myself? Well, lately I've been staying up until my sister gets off work so I can have some sort of human interaction each day. Josh is working in Ohio. He'll be home Wednesday for two days atleast. That's nice, but it will be the only days he's been home this entire month. It doesn't look anything like Christmas around here, let alone alot. Because I'm not about to attempt to put lights on the house in this condition. I probably wouldn't attempt it if I weren't pregnant. And, decorating a tree by myself seems too depressing. I might as well watch A Charlie Brown Christmas while nodding enthusiastically. I still have Halloween candy on my coffee table (we overbought), Jeezy Chreezy.          
     So, anyway, mostly I've been researching information about cloth diapers. All day. Yes, it's possible. You'd be surprised. I feel like I'm kind of an expert already, and I've never even used one. I'm excited about it though. When I tell people my intentions to cloth diaper they aren't very supportive. My dad was kind of disgusted and seemed to be having flashbacks of using them with us. Yeah, well, they've come a long way. I AM going to try out sized prefolds and snap on covers, which is about as archaic as it gets nowadays. But, alot of cloth diapering mommas don't waste time with that and buy AIO (all in ones) which are most like disposables. You just happen to wash them. Or pocket diapers, that are covers with a sleeve you can stuff absorbant inserts into. You can adjust the absorbancy depending on what kind of insert you stuff into it and how many. I will also be trying these. I don't think disposables are evil or anything. In fact, I plan on utilizing them in certain situations. Like when we travel, or someone else is watching her, and possibly at night. I know we could afford disposables. It's not really about that. Though saving money is never a bad thing. It just makes sense to me to use them. I don't know, maybe it's just ingrained in me since I was a cloth diaper baby. Yeah, you have to wash them every other day. Yadda yadda who cares? I don't imagine it being anymore annoying than having to go to the store every week for a case of diapers and lug bags of human waste out of my house. Besides, have you seen cloth diapers? Hello! They are adorable, and free of licensed characters like Elmo and Winnie-the-Pooh <---although he does seem like an appropriate figure to put on a diaper. I plan on purchasing some covers with a tattoo print on them from a work at home mom among other equally adorable looking ones. It's going to be amazing. I hope.          
     That way, if something goes terribly wrong in the breast feeding department (something I also intend to do, but from my understanding has many complications that could arise and be unresolvable. There is the possibility that I won't be able to breast feed for this that or the other reason and there won't be anything I can do about it, but I know I can put a cloth diaper on my baby) atleast I won't have to buy formula AND disposables. That would be ridiculous.
