Diapers, Lanterns & Kicks to the Diaphragm

So, I have decided that clothe diapers are the way to go. That doesn't mean I'm completely opposed to disposable diapers, and I think I will use them for travel, for sick days (diarrhea), and for diaper rash days (apparently it helps them heal faster). But by and far, I want to save money. And by using clothe diapers, I can.

That being said, I'm not going for the old fashioned, piece of clothe that you wrap around the baby thing. I'm doing the all-in-two's (AI2) and they pretty much look like normal diapers, except for the awesome fact that they are WAY super cuter!! The gist of it is that the outer layer is the diaper, and it is waterproof on the outside to keep from leaking. The inside is a fabric that wicks away moisture. And because they are AI2, they come with an insert that you stick into the diaper, and can change alone if it doesn't soak through to the diaper. Easy enough!

I have ordered my first twelve... the picture is blurry because I got it from online:

Aren't they just too adorable? :D I was way too excited when they came in. Especially since they are diapers. Haha. But they are just as cute as the tiny clothes! 

I ordered my next ten today... They're solid colors, and this is the order picture, but I ordered pink, orange, blue, yellow, and green.

I just can't really get over how cute they are. And, oh-the possibilities! I have a pattern for them, too. So I can literally make any gorgeous, amazingly cute clothe that I find into an adorable diaper! 

Of course, I have to make my sewing machine work first. And then maybe I could sell them, too! 

In baby room news, I am going to attempt to make a ceiling fixture, rather than use a mobile, that is made out of paper lanterns! I totally stole the idea from Pinterest... and here are various pictures of the general idea:

I love it! I'm doing light pink, dark pink (fuschia), and silver. And I love the hanging yellow strands in the third picture, so I will probably find some way to incorporate that. I bought the paper lanterns today. 

In any case, this is what's going on in baby buying world. Lots of fun creative things... and cute girly things.

Also, my appointment yesterday went well! The doctor said it feels like she's locked and loaded (which isn't really what he said, but it sounds cooler than "she feels like she's turned". Haha). In any case, it explains the kicks in the ribs... I think she's decided that is where her feet go. It doesn't hurt... though the kicks in the diaphragm do make it difficult to breath at times. :]

Love!
