Busting!

I've been busting my butt trying to finish up my last semester of school and raise 4 kids under the age of 6 (6 year old turns 7 tomorrow!) so I haven't had a ton of time for pictures! We also recently found out that all of our little guy's issues with his skin are likely due to a dye allergy. So we had to put off on using a lot of our diapers. Thankfully I was able to put in an order for some 'China cheapies' until I can weed through what we have and can use. A lot of his sister's stash is useable by him as soon as she decides she is using the potty! *eye roll*

Here is the boogy in a Sunbaby size 1:

Really Sunbaby's work just fine. I get why people don't encourage the purchase of them, and believe me I'm not a fan of purchasing from China.. but $60 for 12 diapers is pretty much impossible to find state side. Especially shipped in a variety of prints and colours. The quality is never an issue for me and I always give them a thorough wash before they go on a bum here. 

So, what happens when you have 4 kids and one of them is a breastfeeding giant of a cutie? You get approximately ZERO time to blog about anything.

Here is something I made today:


Here is something I whipped up yesterday for the little stink:

Giddy Up!

So, newborn baby is starting to not be so much a newborn! We sold our Bumgenius XS and Lil Joey all in ones and also destashed all of our good.mama newborns. Next on the chopping block were the Sbish Mini Snapless. I just pulled the Tots Bots Tiny Fits and some wahm all in ones that I had made for a destash sale.

Whew.

I bet that sounds like we don't have much left huh? Well, you're right! I had to buy another Applecheeks cover, a couple Tots Bots easy fits, and pulled some BG 4.0's from his sister's stash to use for him during the night.

Oh yeah, we also outgrew our xs Sbish wool! So I've been working on knitting some woolies up for him in the meantime until he can fit into his small longies.

Aching for some newb diaper shots? Here is from just this morning. I paired a Happy Heinys mini (on the second snap down) with some matching baby legs. Can you say GIDDY UP!? <3

Sbish Minis and Wool Cover

I wanted to make a separate post about the Sbish snapless minis and their wool covers. I have long been a fan of Sbish wool, it's the nicest machine knit wool that I've found on the market. It really cannot be beat. I tried some of their snapless os with my toddler and was impressed with the squishiness and durability so of course I wanted to try the minis when they came out. I scored a great deal on a 2 pack on Spots Corner.

The wool covers really held up well. The only thing that I found was that it tends to be a bit snug over fitteds. I think the small would work better when he gets a little bit more filled out in the thighs. A friend suggest xs shorties might work better. :o)

Here is the snapless mini (and my first pin job ever!)


And here is him in the xs wool cover!

Some OTB Pictures

I wanted to share some general cuteness from the last couple of chaotic weeks. It sure has been nuts here with 4 kids under the age of 6!

This is one of the fitteds I made. It has a minky giraffe outer and a soft cotton velour inner. It fit him great for the first week or so but he is too big now!

This is a good.mama fitted - Rainbow Noir. Fits him great even now. I notice the brand new knit fitteds I have are some of the roomiest of the gms.


Here is a cover that I made. It is SO cute. I made several of these in various sizes while playing around with foe. I was really impressed by how well this fit him.

Newb!

It's been a busy week here in our house as we welcomed our new babe! I have a bazillion photos to add but I thought I would share one that we just did this morning with our toddler and him. They are wearing a one size and newborn goodmama. <3

He was born last Saturday and weighed 8lbs 4oz and was just shy of 20" long. He fits in most of his diapers really well! I was especially shocked to see how many he wouldn't be wearing long despite his chicken legs. He has a really long rise!

Ragababe

I'm sure most that know a lot about cloth diapers have heard of Ragababe's. They are a really great wahm made diaper that has a LOT of buzz around it. When they first came out I had a friend who was really into them and she let me try one of her all in ones and one of the all in twos. I didn't really like either but the fit of the ai2 was extremely awkward on my teeny little lady. I did like the all in one but I was way too involved in the land of fitteds to get overly excited.

But now. I'm so in love that I'm stalking the stocking's every week. I've amassed quite the collection in the last few months! About a week ago Joy (Queen Ragababe) did an inventory close out of all her extras and her seconds. I snagged three different small diapers! My almost 2 year old can still fit in smalls but I also got them for the newbie. We have a couple of the newborn size diapers but I don't think they'll fit long since I have an inkling baby will be a smidge chunky. Either way, new baby will have a stack of gorgeous new smalls to wear when the time comes.

Here is the official Ragababe site: http://www.ragababe.com - The most favourite print that I own is probably a tie between two of the new ones, watercolour and fireworks. My most favourite (coveted *cough*) print that I do not own would likely be pink leopard or pinwheel. If I hadn't snagged TWO of the star candy I'd probably say that one. It's so gorgeous, and I don't usually like prints with a white background!

I will share a ragastash shot in the next couple days. :D
