Expecting Moms

Finding out your pregnant after trying to get pregnant for any length of time can give you a rush of emotions. You are thrilled beyond your wildest dreams and you want to tell the whole world the good news. So whom do you tell first ? I suggest your husband (after all he is the next in line to tell the wonderful news to) he can be just as excited as you are and you can celebrate together before you tell everyone else. And ladies think about this - you can come up with your own way to tell him like a romantic dinner for 2 (when you know its for 3), a surprise ribbon tied around your stomach with a little note attached that says "Hi Daddy ! ", etc ... be silly and creative or be romantic and sentual. Enjoy the start of another chapter with your husband and make those memories last forever.

Who is next in line to tell the wonderful news and how are you going to tell them ? I'm pretty sure you have alot of people to tell so that part you pretty much have covered. But how are you going to tell them ? You can send out baby announcements or invite your family and friends over for dinner and then for dessert surprise everyone with a cake announcing the new addition to your family.
What ever way you decide to tell your family and friends have fun doing so - this is a very special time in your life that only comes once per baby, no matter how many you may have.

Have you ever wondered why so many people buy diapers at the store just to use them once and then throw them away. It's like you are throwing your money away. Now just to let you know I have bought diapers from the store to and yes I was throwing my money away.

But then my husband and I started to make diapers at home. The problem we had is that the diapers would leak even though they were made very well. But if you think about it, diapers you buy from the store leak as well as homemade cloth diapers.

So the only other thing about homemade cloth diapers is that you have to wash them. Ok, now come on let's get down to the truth about the matter. Some of us don't want to have to wash out a poop poop diaper in the toilet but you will use a wipe to wipe poop off a baby's bottom. If this bothers you to much just wear gloves problem solved.

Cleaning instructions for cloth diapers : Rinse out well in toilet (if it has pooped in), ring it out and put in a icecream bucket with only a 1/2 cap full of bleach to about 10 glasses of water and set on counter to soak before you wash.

You can put the pee pee diapers in the bleach water also.

I will be adding a website that will allow you to get a free pattern.

Here is one site that I have found on making a diaper that fits from newborn up to toddler. Happy Sewing and Good Luck.
