Re: Kristen
Haha, well this is only my second time trying, so I'm not much better than you! How about you try for the Powder Puff with Berry (the T&T, not the serged) and I'll try for the custom? Thank you thank you!
And tell me more about this Nala's....
She has a FB page. She has BEAUTIFUL fabrics and the quality is fantastic. Apparently she is a WAHM that posts on baby center. She does AI2's and has some awesome girly prints. I don't think it's nearly as hard to get her diapers as it is DD's or TT's, but the diapers are only $19 and so nice. I probably wouldn't try this diaper overnight since Robert is a heavy wetter, but it works great for daytime.

Oh and I've been meaning to ask you..
How many diapers are you up to?? I know you have been on a little splurge lately.
I've had to destash a bit. MH was starting to catch up on my addiction I think. Though I am slowly starting to build a stash for another LO since DH is pushing for us TTC again sometime soon.
**butting in
Cloth diapering has its own language ladies! So what's with the stalking? How does this work? Can't you just buy the diapers?
That's a very good question! One I've been wondering myself, but haven't counted yet because I'm in denial I think. I'll go take a count pretty soon here.... how many do you have?
I've been thinking of doing a little destashing myself. I think I'm going to sell some FB's, a baby kicks, and BG's - these all tend to be my last resort dipes.
TTC soon, huh? That's exciting!! I've been getting the itch every once in a long while, but we definitely can't start anytime soon! We're officially going to China in January. Margot and I might stay behind until after her 1st b-day party and then go, but still.
haha, ya it does! It took me a while to figure it all out
Well, these are WAHMs (work at home moms) that make diapers. They can only make so many before they stock diapers on their shop websites, so they post previews of the diapers in advance. For instance, TT (Twinkie Tush) is stocking today at 2 pm. These are super popular WAHM dipes, so they go literally in seconds once they're posted! So, in order to up you chances, people stalk for other people (meaning they try to buy the diaper for someone else and then get reimbursed) so that your chances of actually getting one go up. Make sense?
It TOTALLY does.
There are basically regular retail diapers and then there are WAHM (Work at home moms) that actually make their diapers themselves (or some have become large scale operations that have people sew for them). Retail diapers are easy to get. Some WAHM brands have been really, really popular and they sell out quickly through a site called Hyena Cart. Basically they sew whatever they can in a week and then have a specific "stocking" time where they list all their diapers to sell. They put out preview pictures before so people decide what they want and wait for the exact second to buy. It's pretty insane. They sell out in milaseconds. Sometimes so quickly that they oversell because the site can compute things correctly. It's kind of insane how people get over them, but typically the really popular kinds are very good quality.
I sold all my FB's a while back. I was thinking of getting rid of some more of my BG's, but these are still our current night diaper though we may be switching over to GroVia AIO's for night.
I'm currently destashing some things on Spots. I've done pretty well with resale (with exception to FB). I took a bit of a loss on those.
And yea-DH is ready to start TTC, but I'm pushing it off a bit I'm alright with 2U2, but I'm just really enjoying my time with just Robert. How long are you going to be in China for? I know you mentioned a while back that you may be interested in getting pregnant while you were there, but delivering here in the US.
Looks like we'll be there for 3 years. So ya, we'll be getting pg with #2 over there because I would love for them to be about 2-2.5 years apart. We'll probably go over, get settled, get set up with good medical care, and then start trying. I've been talking to more and more expats over there that say they had a better experience delivering in China than the US. So who knows, maybe after we get over there I'll feel more comfortable with the idea and we'll have a baby in China.
Have you started solids now? I know you were getting prepped. I got those trays you posted. Margot has been starting to reach for our food, so I think when DH gets back from China in 2.5 weeks, we'll start her on solids. She'll be a week shy of 6 months.
We have just been doing cereal which he now loves. We are going to start apples on Monday. We were at the beach a few days this week so I didn't want to have to travel with all that stuff. I'll let you know how it goes!
And definitely let me know how many diapers you have. I want to see how out of control I really am, though I did spend the morning listing things on spots and already sold a couple of things which means I have some $ to spend. I think I'm going to put my name in the TT First time buyer drawing and see what happens. I really love the Nantucket print, but will only get it if I get the drawing one which is highly unlikely.
Awesome! That's great that he like the cereal! I don't blame you for not wanting to trek all of that stuff to the beach! Ya, keep me posted....
I'll go count them now..... oh boy! lol
I'm completey fascinated by all of this! lol! Thanks for the explanations.
