This is not an April Fool's Joke!

Remember that smokin' hot blog entry I wrote about cloth diapers?  The Cloth Diaper Whisperer is doing a major giveaway today on 9 one-size diapers.  Insane in the membrane.  So far I've tweeted 3 times to give myself at least 3 entries, and I've commented 3-4 times on the blog.  Now I'm just trying to remember 9 friends whom I've told about cloth diapers to and WHEN.  I feel like I do that all the time!


Anyway, the reason this giveaway is so rad is that the diapers they are giving away are great and some of my favorite (i.e., BumGenius!).  Here's the stash:
  • 3-bumGenius One Size 3.0 diapers
  • 1-Flip One Size Stay Dry System
  • 1-Flip One Size Organic System
  • 1-FuzziBunz One Size Diaper
  • 1-Gro Baby One Size Shell Set
  • 1-Econobum One Size Diaper
  • 1-Rump-a-rooz One Size Diaper
I have to confess, I haven't tried Gro Baby, Econobum or Rump-a-rooz, but one of the things that is great about cloth diapers is that if one doesn't work for you, it may for someone else, and you can easily swap, sell or trade your diapers online or "in the real world," if you're still into that sort of thing ;)

Also, I think one-size diapers are great because they grow with your baby.  Initially, we started with Fuzzibunz small-size diapers, but Mia's growing out of them now and so we need more diapers to replace those and the mediums do not fit her just right yet.  So, with one-size, you just adjust the snaps or velcro and they still fit snug and tight and no need to replace!

You should check it out.

PS: Mia is napping without a fight this morning.  *Sigh*  What a relief...we'll just see how the afternoon goes now.

Babies & Giveaways!

It seems everywhere I look babies are being born right and left. Part of it is that my mind is now more attuned to babies. I wasn't looking for them before, but now that I have one, I'm so much more aware of their presence & existence. This is called perceptual salience!!
The other thing is is that within the timespan of August 2008 to September 2009, Lord Willing, at least 11 babies will have been born at our church congregation (mostly boys though...Mia, watch out!). Incredible. Last I counted, we had about 6 decent rocking chairs/gliders in the nursery, plus some spare chairs on the side. Heaven forbid the time when all the babies have to be in there for one thing or another...it'll be crazy! But, at least Mia will have tons of little peers with whom she can grow up and socialize.

And in reference to the giveaway, an online acquaintance (whose sister I do know "in real life") is throwing a giveaway on her blog for these awesome swaddlers.

We have become major "Happiest Baby on the Block" proponents, and without swaddling, I'm almost certain life with Mia would look quite different! So...I'm very pro-swaddle.

Well, here's to babies, and here's to keeping them calm.
I bid you adieu!
