[Cloth Diapers]. [bumGenius OneSize]. [Brand New In Package].

I have learned so many new acronyms the past few days along with how many different types of cloth diapers there are. Prefolds, pockets, all in one's, fitted, one size, hybrid... It's like there is this secret society of moms who use cloth diapers and want to keep their secret knowledge from everyone else by using as many acronyms as possible. And you are only a part of this group if you can learn how to speak and decode the exuberant number of acronyms and put them together in a sentence that is coherent to other CD moms.

I have been looking all over for bumGenius! diapers, there are brand news one eBay, diapperswappers, craigslist... There are also some used ones. Not too sure how I feel about a used cloth diaper.

This past weekend we used our bumGenius! 3.0 pocket diapers and the new Flip system diapers (also by bumGenius!). I was so nervous for some reason, afraid I wouldn't be able to pull off a transition to cloth. I was wrong. We started on Saturday morning with the Flip system. The Flip is really cool; it is a cover that holds a microfiber insert. Changing the diaper is as easy as swapping out the insert for a clean, dry one. I can really see us using this type of cloth diaper on the weekends since they are so quick and easy. Our only hiccup was when we went to the commissary in the afternoon. When we were getting back in the car, I could smell that Kenley needed to be changed. I didn't have a clean cover/insert to use and had brought a disposable in case she needed a change. Thankfully (since I am a newbie and hadn't that it through yet) I had two plastic bags. The storing of the poop dipe in a plastic bag in the car while we drove home weirded Andrew out a bit but if that was the only "eww" part of the weekend than I think we can do this.

We made it through the first night nice and dry. The weekend was a success. Kenley has been using the disposables at daycare for now until I have enough of a stash to give to them to use. The past three days we are using the BG's at night only. I just bought a handful more so I think I am going on 10 BG's. Getting close to having enough to fully transition.

Doesn't she look adorable in her little bumGenius? Her expression makes me laugh though. Notice her legs are red. Not because her circulation is cut off but because Andrew likes to get in the tub with her and he always makes the water too hot. That's right Andrew, just called you out on the blog. Looooooove you.
