I guess they're expensive to buy at the outset, and there's obviously some cost involved in washing them, but when you look at the cost of disposables they're way cheaper over the two/three years a child is in nappies.I also decided, finally, how to tell the general FB world about when I'm pg.
Firstly, we'll be telling our parents and my sister. Then a few close friends. But after that I want to keep it under wraps until we get more 'in the clear.' Probably 10 weeks, at least? But all the while, I'm going to be keeping a photo journal of my progress and each week, will take a photo of me holding the item of comparison to the size of the baby (lemon, orange, onion, etc). So when we announce, I'll post the 10 week photo (or whatever week we choose), and link to the blog beneath the photo. It'll be a blog unveiling + announcement. So I'm excited!! Now to figure out how to tell OH and the family, when the time comes for such.
Clearly, I'm a ridiculous preplanner.
Again, I can't say it enough - I'm so glad for this group. You ladies keep me sane.Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday!
I think it's an awful question to ask someone whether or not they're TTC. It's such a private thing to do, and the decision to have (or not have) children is personal to each couple. People are always asking me about it, especially now we've been married three years. I quite often respond with "Having babies wasn't why we got married."
by the time i'm TTC lol

But he does not want to tell his parents because they already ask about it enough. Actually on the cruise they were like, "Are you scheduling another on board?" because you get a discount if you do. We had to be coy and say no, we're saving money and such - I slipped in the, "hopefully in the next five years we'll be ready to start a family so we need to save now." They looked sad but they just... cannot know until we're ready to tell them we're pregnant. And my dad is on the unspoken, "need to know" basis for everything. Having two daughters and his wife and a female dog for all his married life, he just prefers to pretend that these things just happen magically. 
Which do you use, if you don't mind me asking?
I want to cloth diaper, even though hubby is a bit skeptical. And all sets of grandparents aren't keen on it, because they don't want to have to deal. So I want to use mainly cloth but I know that no matter WHAT I tell people, they'll get me dang diapers as gifts... so I'll use those for when the grandparents take the LO.
I'll accept any and all insight on cloth diapering, especially from those who have experience. I've read a lot but first-hand is always wonderful.
I've had search about through lots of different websites but for me i've found www.littlelamb.co.uk are fab. I will be diving straight in adn getting the birtht to potty bamboo kit and they just getting cute adn funky wraps of amazon or ebay because there are loads. After using the pre folds in work for years and testing out the all in ones that some of our children have at home and come in with, i deffinatly prefer the idea of a shapped nappy with seperate outter wrap
Anyways i'm off to work. speak to you all later xx
! Of course DH too
I might talk to one of my SIL's about it, but I wouldn't tell my family until maybe 12 weeks. That is unless my mom does her magic "mom mind-reader trick" and gets is out of me sooner... she's really good at that
