Intro!

Hey everyone!  I'm a 20-something SAHM with identical twin girls, currently 14? months old.  They were born via C-section at 31 weeks 3 days and were in the NICU for 40 days.  They are both doing wonderfully now, very healthy & growing like weeds!

    Yes, I do cloth diaper my twins, really!  We didn't start until they were 7 months old though....I had done a bunch of research on cloth when we first found out we were expecting, but then after finding out it was twins that kind of went out the window because I didn't think I'd be able to keep up with it.  Looking back now, I wish we had started earlier, though I know that we wouldn't have been able to for awhile since they were preemies & the diapers just wouldn't have fit them yet!  It's such a worthwhile investment though.  I figured out how many times they needed to wear the diapers in order to "break even" with what we would have spent on disposables, and it was only about 4-5 months...so every day since that point has been a savings of $80-90 for us!!

    I do love cloth for so many reasons, but I will still probably use disposables for the first 2 or 3 weeks with any of our future children, simply because that first poop-stage is so sticky & tar-like, I'd be worried about it not washing out well.  But maybe that's just me!
