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!
