Yesterday I decided to do my first load of fluff (cloth diapers)! It is all so cute, isn’t it?:

I am planning to start out with disposable diapers (since I have them already, and figure having a brand newborn is hard enough without creating more laundry) then start to add in the CDs at home, and switch to full-time CDing once the disposables run out. Now I am ready to start using them as soon as I feel up to washing them afterwards (and, ummm…have the baby!). These are BumGenius All In Ones (AIOs) and Mother’s Touch AIOs. I decided to make life easier for myself and start with my AIOs (they are like disposables, only they go in the laundry instead of the trash-no covers, no liners, no stuffing-though you can add a liner to any diaper if you want more absorbancy), adding in pocket diapers (which have a pocket you stuff with an absorbent insert) once I get used to the AIO’s and the habit of washing diapers.
BTW, if you were wondering about the nursery, the wall behind the basket is the nursery wall. I love apple greeen, and it goes well with brown (if we have a boy) or pink (if we have a girl) accessories!
Yesterday was my first day off work, and I spent it nesting. I did loads of baby laundry, and spent a 150 gift card at Wal-Mart. We now have ALL the baby things we need. If only we could get the damn computer out of the nursery so we could get it all set up. We do have the dresser/change table set up already, and I have organized all the drawers.
As for today, I have a chiro appointment and then a mid-wife appointment. After that, I plan to hit Coach as I have a “40% off one item” letter and a $125 gift certificate…so I can buy something pretty! I think I want a red purse, since red bags look awesome with jeans and are great for all season. I am eyeing this one:
P.S. If anyone is curious how I got the letter, I sent in my Hobo to Coach for repairs (it had some loose stitches on the handle) and they sent it back to me with a letter saying since they could not repair it to Coach standards, and that they were giving me 40% off any one regular priced item instead. I then took the strap from the Hobo to a shoe repair and had it fixed up to my standards (it looks great!).

When I was shopping more regularly at Coach, I would recieve those letters, too.
I like that color. Hope you get your nursery set up, soon. Good Luck

Oooooh, I love some Coach bags. I have been collecting them for about 15 years now, ever since I bought my first one with my first job!
I’m still waiting for A’s cord to fall off. The girl is a whole week old and still that thing is hanging there. It’s like it knows I am dying to put a CD on the kiddo and it’s taunting me or something!
