Last night I bought tickets.... to where? Oregon! Yes, that's right. I was born and raised in Oregon and left there at age 22 when I joined the Army! I was sent to Germany and that is where I met my husband! After serving 5 years in the Army I decided to get out because I wanted to start a family. I didn't like the idea of husband and wife serving in the Army, and the fact that both could be deployed at the same time, so I decided to get out. I was honorably discharged and got out while we were stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Now we live in Maryland. I have not been home for almost 3 years, when I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer.
My dear sister is pregnant with her second child, a boy! Her first son was delivered via emergency c-section as her water broke unexpectedly at 34 weeks and 5 days!! He only weighed 5 lbs 15 oz!
This time around, she is going to have a home birth. She is due 12 October and I am flying out there to be with her! I am SOOOOO excited! I have never witnessed anyone give birth (except myself)... lol!
In honor of her having this baby, I am going to be doing a blog event when I come home. The blog event is going to be called "Newborns and Cloth."
Here is what I have lined up so far!
1. AMP diapers has donated an AMP All In Two (AI2) diaper size small!
2. Mommy's Own has donated a Grovia AIO Newborn diaper, a jar of Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter, an Aden and Anais swaddle blanket and some samples of tiny bubbles soap!
3. Madison Organics has donated a Lil Joey cloth diaper as well!
I am still taking on sponsors for the event!
I can't wait to try these tiny diapers on my nephew, and offer a few things for a giveaway when I get home! So be sure to stick around! It's going to be lots of fun!
I will have Internet access while I'm away, and the giveways will run like normal. If I don't get back to you in a day or two (if you contact me, or if you are a winner) please be patient!
Travelling alone with two little boys is going to be quite challenging!
Did you cloth diaper your newborn? Which is your favorite newborn clothdiaper??

I'm in Maryland, too! I cloth diapered my newborn. My coworkers gave me 6 weeks of cloth diaper service (prefolds with covers) and I loved it! I didn't even know that diaper services still existed. It was such a blessing to have someone come and pick up all the dirty diapers once a week and then leave you a bag of clean ones. I will do it again with the next baby for the first few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI cd'd my newborn after the cord fell. I used Thirsties and I loved them!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting you get to go home for such a happy event! When I have my first, I intend to cloth diaper as early as I can.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I didn't CD my first son (now going on 12) and started with my second son (almost 11 mos.) until he was 6 months old even though I considered it all through my pregnancy. I wish I had started sooner :)
