Running and gDiapers updates

I have only gone running 4 times since my first running post, but I ran 2 miles today without stopping, so I was really happy with that.  I am going to continue and try to pick out a 5k or 10k to do in the near future so I'll have a goal in mind. 
As far as the gDiapers, we have had some setbacks.  We were having lots of leaks and pinched skin, so we took a break, I got some tips and I'm going to try it again.  Hopefully, it's just something I was doing wrong and we'll be able to be successful this time=).  If not, I may have some gDiapers for sale soon=)

Cloth update...

I ventured out of the house with Selah in a cloth diaper on Saturday.  We went to picnic in Wilsonville.  It didn't go very well.  The first one she leaked through in a very short amount of time while at the picnic.  I think this has to do with me not having the right inserts.  Somehow it got all wadded up inside the cover.  Then I changed her into a new cloth diaper and shortly after, she pooped in the car on the way home.  Since I only have 2 diaper covers we had to put her in a regular diaper as we changed her on the trunk of our car on the side of the road in Wilsonville.  That went relatively smoothly.  After that fiasco, I took a 2 day break and she is in cloth again this morning.  We'll see how it goes...

gDiaper Success=)




We got our gdiapers yesterday and Selah was so excited to test them out, she decided to IMMEDIATELY poop in the first one.  Hmmm... I had hoped to do a wet one first, but we dove in head first with the poopy.  Actually it wasn't too bad.  I do see the need for a "system" though.  I wasn't sure where to put my dirty wipes (thankfully I had an empty box i was about to throw away sitting nearby so I used that).  Then, it was kinda hard to get the poop off the insert simply by dunking it in the toilet, I think I need to get the sprayer thing?  I threw it immediately in the washer because I don't have a designated trash can for diapers yet, but I will need to get one soon I am sure.  One with a lid I might add.  The best part so far though is that she slept in oneall night and it didn't leak at all!  I was very happy about that. 
I am about to order the gDiaper cloth inserts (I got the bum genius inserts from diapers.com because they were cheaper but they don't fit perfectly in the gdiaper cover, not that  i can complain because no leaks so far!)  However, Courtney says the gdiaper inserts fit/work better, so I am going to get some of those.  I also think I am still going to use regular diapers when I am out running errands, at least until I get comfortable at home with them, and then we'll see...  All in all, So far so good=)

gDiapers


I ordered some cloth diapers last night, Yikes!  I promise I am not turning into a hippie tree hugger=)  Not that there's anything wrong with that.  As a matter of fact, I think we could all be a little more natural minded! 
I have never considered cloth diapers because of a bad experience I had while babysitting.  However, "modern" cloth diapers, are not nearly as scary.  My reasons for trying it:
1.  Selah has oh so sensitive skin and we are always dealing with a diaper rash of some kind
2.  I like the thought of putting something more natural and less chemical on her bum
3.  They are super cute!  I know... that's not a good reason, but it's still true

I ordered some gDiapers from diapers.com.  I only ordered two diaper covers and 6 cloth inserts because I am not even sure I can do it.  Trey agreed to let me order a few and just see how it goes.  They should get here Wednesday, so I'll let you know if I have any success!  I am excited!
