My wife and I use cloth diapers, we have since my first son was born 11 yrs ago. It will save you thousands of dollars. Of course you have to wash them but the cost of washing a diaper that is reusable is far less than buying landfill refuse. Lets put it this way I believe the average baby goes through about 7,000 diapers by the time they are potty trained. Thats roughly $3-4000.00 dollars, in diapers! With cloth you can cut that down to about $900.00 including washing and drying them if you use a laundry mat. Its less if you have your own washer and dryer.
I also do not lose sleep at night because my wife breast-feeds, meaning no getting up at 2am to warm a bottle. She just rolls over and gives the babe his/her milk. Plus its free. Now of course these methods of child maintenance are not for eveybody and I am not trying to convert anybody, but I have saved a ton of money in the process and its enviromentally friendly which is something I feel strongly about. On another note breastfeeding will assist the new mother in losing weight significantly faster than bottle feeding ( fat stores in the mother is used to produce breast milk) which make them feel good about themselves and decreases cases of postpartum depression. It's also good for the new baby, mother natures creations cannot not be improved upon by mankinds science.

I never knew what I was getting, and each was a happy suprise. I think it should be that way, dont find out just let nature run its course. No matter what it will not change anything except the color you paint the room.

I talked to him this morning and he was going to meet me at Als, I told him to stick around the house for crying out loud. He told me he was going to the bank. Cant be at the bank for 10hrs so I kind of figured something was up. Hope the best for him and his new baby boy, hope everything is going just fine right now too.
