Cloth Diapers

Yep its true, Evan and I are doing cloth diapers. I know what your thinking I'm crazy or the twins have made me mad.  But really there not that bad. When I was pregnant Evan and I talked about them and he really wanted me to use them, but I told him if we have twins, I'm not cleaning all those cloth diapers. I also told my mom and dad we were thinking about them and they run out to Costco and got us a ton of diapers (you know cuz they had to do cloth diaper with most of their kids). And then for all my showers everyone give up diapers thinking we would need at lot. Which we do use a lot of diaper. So I didn't think much about them until we were at Costco a few weeks ago and they were selling them. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to try (plus there super cute). The diapers sold at Costco have this biodegradable liner you put in so if they poop you can just throw that part away.  So the more I used them the more I thought about the amount of diaper we are using in a day, then week, then month, and then year. 

• If I just use 6 diapers a day (which I'm closer to about 10 a day) I would use 42 diapers a week
• So if I use 42 diapers a week I would use about 180 a month
• And if I use 180 diapers a month I would use 2160 diapers a year. 

So I thought to myself that is a lot of diapers I'm just throwing into the landfills. I'm totally not one of those people who are crazy about saving the earth or anything but I do think it's important to keep the earth clean. I mean look at all the poor animals out there, and we are at fault.  Plus it saves us money, we buy a big box of diapers from Costco a month and sometimes more so it's close to $100 a month. So, I have a goal to use them for at least 3 months to get my moneys wroth and more. We figured we would use disposable diapers if we are out and about and if we have any babysitters. I'm hoping I can stick it out until they are potty trained, We'll have to wait and see.
