Cloth or not?

So I've been debating to use or not use cloth diapers for a while now.  I have to say I'm pretty intrigued with the idea of it but also feel a little lost in the cloth diapering world.  There are all different types, brands, inserts, creams, sprayers, and diapering lingo - it is a little overwhelming.  I have a couple friends at church who use cloth diapers who I've talked to a little bit but today at the fair I came across a boutique who sells cloth diapers.  A local lady makes them and wanted to provide affordable, good quality diapers.  That's another thing they can be so expensive! Some brands are like $25 per diaper and it's not like you can just use one.  I know it's a big money saver in the long run though.  From what I've seen on her website these are about $6-10. Anyway, they offer 101 classes at their store so I'm going to check it out in a couple weeks!  I'm really excited for someone to just sit down and explain everything to me and hopefully I can get some really good deals while I'm there too! Stephen said he would come to the class too which is good.  I think the idea of cloth diapers scares him to death.  I don't think he's ever changed a diaper so maybe its just the idea of diapers in general.  Most parents that use cloth say it's really not too big of a deal so I must say I'm looking forward to it!

We also have a crib now.  It needs some work and a little paint but it was free and you can't beat that!  We're planning to paint it white and the nursery will be grey with some touches of yellow.  I must admit, it's very inspired by my sister Stephanie.  She has great nursery ideas and I love her girls' nurseries.  Here are some pictures she sent me a few weeks ago that I really love and have sparked my thinking.





I'm really starting to show now too, here's a few pictures.
