1. Cloth diapers? That’s still a thing?
2. Ooh loook… they’re kinda cute!
3. $17.99 for ONE DIAPER? That seems like a lot… but I guess you re-use them…
4. A sale!! Ok, I’ll just order a few…
5. Is the Fedex truck here yet?
6. Ooooo they’re SOFT and FUZZY! Who wouldn’t want to feel this on their butt?
7. So uh….Dear Google… how does this work?
8. (overwhelmed silence while reading a LOT of information on the Internet)
9. So… turns out there’s a lot of different kinds. Umm… what kind did I order again?
10. Ok. “Pocket Style”. That’s cool, people like those (says the Internet). We got this.
11. I have to wash them how many times before I use them??
12. Fine. (Five loads of laundry later.) So I just tuck this poofy party into this pockety part. That’s not so hard.
13. They’re nice and folded and fluffy and all ready to go. Look at me! Rockstar mom. Boom.
14. We’ll start tomorrow.
15. No seriously, we will start tomorrow.
16. Ok. Here we go. We got this. Saving the world one pee at a time.
17. It’s kinda… poofy. But cute. This is fine. It’s good. Wait… why is it baggy around her legs? Should I be able to see inside the diaper from here?
18. OHHH. Hidden snaps.
19. Ok. We are set. So…. has she peed yet?
20. Now has she peed yet?
21. Seriously. How the eff am I supposed to tell if it is wet?
22. Wait. Is my leg wet?? Is her leg wet? Or is it just warm? Does that mean she peed? Ah screw this, I’m changing her.
23. Ok. New diaper. I’m pretty sure it was wet. Kinda. Wait, does her bottom look red?
24. (Eight diapers later) Alright. Laundry time. We can do this. Cold water rinse, hot water wash, extra rinse. Easy.
25. Damn it. I forgot to go start the laundry after the rinse cycle.
26. Damn it. I forgot to go start the dryer.
27. Ooooo, fluffy and clean again! This is easy, I can totally be a cloth diaper mom!
28. Jesus this is a lot of folding.
29. Phew. Ok. Folded and put away.
30. Wait. What’s that smell?
31. shit. (literally)
32. It’s ok. It’s ok. We got this. Just rinse it into the toilet. This isn’t hard.
33. I’m going to need more lysol wipes.
34. And more hand sanitizer.
35. And more diaper ointment.
36. And more laundry detergent.
37. Wait… should i be using eco-friendly laundry detergent?
38. I wonder how hard re-usable wipes would be…
