Koo Koo for Babies

So Pablo and I are completely nuts.

Tell me why we aren't even 3 months pregnant yet but we already bought a crib (that's already built and next to our bed) and why we have begun to obsess over the weirdest things?? What things, you might ask? Well.... diapers! Never ever in my life did I ever think I would be excited over diapers. NEVER! Until looking online for a cloth diaper service, and not finding any, I stumbled onto this page gdiapers.com.

Basically, I'm a tree hugging hippie deep down inside and I refuse to use disposable diapers. They're horrible and evil and I WONT DO IT.... but the alternative sux also. I was desperately looking for a service to help with cloth because it just seems like too much to take care off two babies at the same time and deal with the cloth diapers and all the washing thats involved.... I did mention before that we live in a very small studio apartment in Miami Beach right? The laundry is on the first floor and shared by the whole building... It's not like I can just do laundry when ever I want. And a tiny space filled with dirty diapers isn't my ideal living arrangement. Soooooo I was starting to stress out... But then I saw that page... And it all looked TOO GOOD to be true. Basically it's an outrageously cute "cloth" diaper outside, a plastic liner inside, and then you stuff what looks to me like a giant maxi pad into the liner... then you put it on and it's even got little velcro snappies on the back to close. Once the little "max pad" in the center gets wet or poopied, you take it out, rip it on the sides (easier then it sounds) and FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I get an A-men!!!??!

I become skeptical because again, it looks too good to be true. They have to not work, or they have to be made of some horrible matterial.... So I start searching the net for anything I can find on them.... And I find a decent amount of information.. and none of it is bad. A couple people have problems with leaks, but find solutions, and what few negative comments I do find sound more like
negative skeptical people like me and less like any fact to back up any claims. AND TO BOOT!!!!!! The owners of the company search out these posts online and respond to just about all of them. WTF is that!!! Who does that???? Someone who really gives a shit, that's who. So, without so much as a test run, I'm sold. At the very least these are the first choice for us to try on the little leeches once they come out.

Here's the nutty obsessive bit though... I find out that they sell them at WildOats which is 5 blocks from my apartment. So we went on Mother's Day and got a little starter kit. Ripped that box open like it was a Christmas present and both Pablo and I were all "OMG how cute is that" over everything. Then, I start taking them everywhere, including work, to show people..... I haven't even used them yet and I'm already showing people!!!! They really are cute, and if they really work like people say they do, and they work for our twins... Well... I'm going to promote the crap (no pun intended!) out of them.

Really honestly makes me feel a little calmer inside when I see people and products like this.... That really make a difference.

They're pricier than disposable diapers, and having limited income with TWO babies on the way doesn't help, at all... but this is how I see it. You either pay now at the store, or you pay a bigger price later on down the road at a landfill. It's the equivalent of organic food in my eyes.... You either pay a little more for organic fruit/veg now... Or you can pay the doctor/hospital when you're older and trying to fight some weird cancer.

So there you go. Ok I have to get to work....... as I look and see the crib in the room and think to myself "omg im pregnant with twins"..... lol. <3
