They came!!! Here is my stash...
So the UPS man did not come until almost 6pm!!! Eeek! That was a long time to wait! So now I have my new diapers and I am so excited to get them washed and in rotation. And for those wondering...my mystery diaper was a Kawaii!!! I was so thrilled to see it in there!! I was thinking about getting one with my next order!!! And even better...it is PURPLE!!!! Alexis and I love ANYTHING purple!!!! So here are the pics of my stash as of last week and another pic of the dipes I got today plus my 2 packs of cloth wipes and my baby bum drops!!! So here is my entire stash!
My original stash top to bottom. First stack: Orange Rumparooz, Pink Gingham Cutey Baby, Purple GroVia AI2, Red Flower GroBaby AI2, and Red Stripe GroBaby AI2. Second Stack: Noodle BumGenius 4.0 Snap, Blue BumGenius Organic AIO Snap, Purple Fuzzibunz OS, Yellow Fuzzibunz OS, Pink Fuzzibunz OS, and Chocolate Brown Fuzzibunz OS. Third Stack: Purple Monkey Doodlez AIO, Cow Happy Heinys OS, Pink BumGenius 3.0, Green BumGenius 3.0, and Raspberry Truffle Blueberry Minky OS.
I must say that I am most excited about the Tot Bots...seems like an AMAZING diaper...can't wait to try it!!!
Oh, and did I mention that I got a couple other ones from Jillian's Drawers the other day...can't beat $10 Happy Heinys!!! And my PLUMP diaper still has to come!
I think I am done getting dipes...for now...

Diaper Itch.
Where is the UPS man??? My latest installment of diapers is to come by UPS today and I am just on edge waiting for that big brown truck to pull up to my house!!! I never thought that the UPS man would be my favorite person!! But since I have gotten into fluffy cloth diapers, I can't wait to see his face!! Funny how things like that excite you!!!
I am most excited to get using my cloth wipes!!! It just seems silly to use disposable wipes and cloth diapers. You just have one more step. You have to get your cloth dipe into the wet bag or pail (after disposing of possible poops) and then put the wipe into the trash or diaper genie. Then, you have those icky wipes smelling up the trash (something you thought would end when dipes weren't going in the trash). So it just seems silly. I can't wait to get my cloth wipes going and then they can just go into the wet bag with the diaper...and DONE!! Fabulous!!!
I am also excited to try out my new diapers! I am waiting on a Doopsy OS in Smiley blue, Bum Essentials Bumbino in Sunshine yellow, GroVia AIO in Ice Blue, and a Tot Bots Easy Fit OS in Blueberry!! I guess I was feeling "blue" when I ordered...I got three blue dipes!!! But that means they are good for girls and boys...so they will be great when number 2 comes!!! (not sure when that will be, but I have diapers for him/her!!) So excited!!! And even better...I am waiting on the Mystery diaper! Kelly's Closet has MANY free diaper coupons out there...so waiting for the mystery diaper is very exciting!!! Can't wait to see what it is!!
So, Dear Sweet UPS man...where are you?

Sorry I have been MIA --What is your favorite diaper?
So, after being off for two weeks, I had to go back to work this past weekend. It was an odd experience. I love being home with my little one, and being able to spend 100% of my time with her, but I also missed my work as an L&D nurse. Being there as life enters the world is just such an amazing experience. So currently I am working only every other weekend. So basically I work 2 days and then I am off for two weeks. Nice schedule, huh? The only hard part is that I am working night shifts...so I have gotten myself on a pretty regular sleep/wake schedule for the first time in my life, and then I screw it all up by working the two night shifts. It really makes me feel crappy. But it is such a joy to do my job and help new mommas and their new babies!
Anyway. It seems like everyone has been posting pictures of their stashes, and I managed to get one taken the other day too...but I am highly interested in the answers to the following questions.
What is your favorite cloth diaper? Least favorite? Your go to diaper? The diaper you never use? And any other diapers that you would like to mention.
These are hard questions for me to answer, and I know they will change with time. But my go to diapers are my Fuzzibunz. They are so absorbant and I can always count on them to get through a long nap. They are also super comfy for her and they fit her like a glove! On my tall skinny baby, fit can be a problem! My bumGenius diapers are also quite reliable. The fit is great and they have lasted for all night. I have only ever tried bG's as night time diapers...and no leaks! So I trust them!!! My least favorite diaper is my Cutey Baby. It is a very awkward diaper. It is a GREAT thought, but a few things need to be tweaked. The main reason I don't like them, it again my long skinny baby, fit is sometimes hard. So the cutey baby have a snap on the strap that is meant to be snapped to make the strap smaller for skinny babies...the snap will not stay snapped. And when you pull the strap tight to put on the baby, the snap pops. Very frustrating!!
Tell me about your diapers!!
