Mommyhood my way is kind of a selfish name for this title if you think about it. I am a mommy, but there is another parent in this picture. daddy. daddy (aka my husband) is very good about going with the flow of all the crazy things I do and do not want to do as a parent. For example, before our first daughter was born, actually before I was even pregnant, I told him I wanted to cloth diaper. I guess he went with it because he didn't actually think I would go through with it. Well, I (we) did! kind of. Shayla was a few months old before I decided to officially use cloth diapers. we were living in an apartment and only had coin laundry as an option. I found a GREAT deal on craigslist, packed up a 2 month old and drove about an hour away to get these diapers (yes, they were used, but in GREAT condition). I washed many of those diapers in the tub after researching it and wanting to cut down on laundry costs as much as possible. After a year or so, we moved (we had our own washing machine!!) and Shayla started getting really bad diaper rash so after many visits to the doctor and a dermatologist, we decided to stop using cloth diapers for awhile. I was so sick of buying diapers all the time so we tried clothing her at night and she did great! now Shayla is about potty trained and only wears a cloth diaper to bed still! Little Lady #2 is on her way and she will be using cloth diapers as well. I never thought I would be one of those parents who got excited over diapers!
