how is cloth diapers going you ask....

well besides being gosh darn cute
We have found that we LOVE our cloth diapers! they are not hard at all and if you don't mind doing laundry then you are set! Titus is 7 weeks old and we have been using cloth for 4 weeks (yes we use them when we go other places too). since i was in the hospital and when he first came home we used disposable.....the cool thing about using both is that we experienced poop explosions with both and i can say now that i have experienced both, cloth holds in the poop way better!....the only time cloth mess's up his cloths is our fault not the diapers fault (i sometimes forget to tuck in the prefold into the cover:)) I did the math and in those 4 weeks we have already paid for all our pre folds (we have 30 prefolds...so we can go about 3 days before we need to wash them)
if you don't know what a pre fold is this is it (its old school...with out pins) we use snappy's instead of pins

these are some of the cute covers we have. my favorite :)
jons favorite (cuz its Velcro instead of snap)
there are 3 different kinds of cloth diapers,

1.) the cheapest is pre fold (what we use) the reason its so cheap is because you can reuse the covers....we usually use at least 1-2 a day instead of 10 a day:)
2.) pocket diaper, next cheapest, not as much work as a pre fold but you do have to wash everything every time.
3.) AIO (all in one) most expensive but the least work....everything is all sewn together so its like a disposable diaper (it does take longer to dry tho)

With all 3 there are so many different brands out there, we are very blessed that the brand we picked works awesome for us!!! ( thirsties brand)
