Diaper Drama
Last night I went to Meijer to do some grocery shopping and decided to begin our stockpile of diapers. Now, please keep in mind, I have recently found out that I have Gestational Diabetes and have to attend a class on eating right, so I've filled the cart already with lots of good, healthy, low carb/low sugar foods....so, I'm standing in the diaper aisle and suddenly it hit me. I was completely overwhelmed. I was staring at rows and rows of diapers. Pamper, Huggies, Luvs, the off brands, the organic brand. Then the sizes. Preemie, newborn, and sizes 1 through 5. Holy hell. I had no clue there were so many choices. Do you buy a big box, a medium box of a few of those "sleeves"? Do you try a few in one brand and see how they work, or just bite the bullet and buy the case and hope they are fine? I was bawling. I had no idea what I was doing. I ended up buying the biggest box of huggies brand diapers they had. It was only a few dollars more than the pampers, but you got 100 more diapers. Little Lucy will just have to like them! Who ever knew diapers could cause so much drama?!?!

Yay!!! You updated!!! I love the name Lucy. ADORABLE!!! As far as the whole diaper thing, good luck! Just kidding! I prefer Huggies or Luvs. And, because of the price, we usually use Luvs. As for sizes, my babies have been 7 pounders and come home in the newborn size. They seem to only stay in those for 2-3 weeks. Size one has lasted us about another month or 2. They stayed in size 2's for a longer period of time. By 6 months or so we were staring size 3's in the face.
Sorry, that may have been more than you wanted to know...but, I hope it helps some. As you know, every baby is different. You will figure it out. I just wouldn't stock pile too many of the newborn size or the ones, since they grow out of those the fastest.
