Well, hello there!

Wow! I guess I kind of forgot about my blog for... you know... 7 months or so... Last time I posted was about two weeks before I conceived of Kylie Wren!! Yeah, I'm pregnant again.

A lot has happened in the past 7 months (obviously: see previous sentence) and now I'm getting back in the swing of house-wifey stuff. I spent five months living with my parents and my sister in a very small house. My idea that I would keep cloth diapering while I was there did not factor into account that there were four adults and a messy infant sharing one washer and dryer. So I pretty much switched over to sposies (<I have spent a lot of time the past few weeks on cloth diapering co-ops, blogs, and websites so I'm up on all the lingo now) for most of the time I was there. When we found out we were expecting again Duncan and I agreed it would be prudent for me to move back to AZ a few months early so I didn't have to drive across the country nine and a half months pregnant, or with TWO babies under a year old.

So now I'm back in Arizona in a beautiful, big, new house taking care of Harper and growing another person.

I'm pretty much filling all my time with cloth diapers. Between all the websites and Facebook groups, washing and folding, and trying different patterns for making my own inserts; I pretty much spend about three hours a day doing stuff not related to fluff. This morning I drafted my very own pattern from scratch so I'm excited to see how that works. I cut out two pieces in the shape of the pattern from an icky towel; then sewed an extra, smaller piece between the two layers "where it counts"; and finished it off with a strip of flannel down the middle to protect Harper's lady bits from the rougher terry cloth. It seems like it will be my most successful insert yet.

I've decided that this blog will focus mostly on my cloth diapering experiences, because that's what I'm focused on right now. When my personal focus changes I'm sure the focus of this blog will change accordingly. There will probably be some pregnancy and deployment stuff sprinkled in there too.

Harper's nap is over and so is this post. It will probably be less than seven months before I post again, but I won't make any promises.
