hi, i am new to ds but have fallen in love with this site and am here nearly everyday lurking:blush: . i found the due date threads today and want to join you girls in our wait for little ones. here is a bit about me.
my dh and i have been married for 5 years this month (wow that is crazy to type out!) we have one beautiful ds Asher who just turned 19 months old. i am due with baby boy #2 Caleb the 7th of Oct (Asher turns 2 the 18th of Oct).
i have just started cding ds full time this week. i was halfhearted about it since last summer with 12 prefolds that i turned into contures and one bssw. i didnt have nearly enough to last the day but didnt have the money to invest and wasnt sure what kind of dipes i would like (knew i didnt want prefolds or contures) so this last week i bought a whole bunch of flannal on sale and have made 16 fitted pockets with the mama bird pattern, i went to the salvation army and got a bunch of bath towels that i am serging to make inserts and doublers. and i bought 5 med thirsites covers from here on ds. i think i am set for now, and soo excited, ds has not been in a sposie since last thrusday!! i need to take pics of my newly sewn stash, i am so proud of myself. now i get to start on a stash for the new baby though:mrgreen:

Welcome! We have a lot of military wives in this DDC! My DH is a Marine. Good luck building your diaper stash and congrats on the pregnancy!

Hello! I don't post on this board that often but I am an excellent lurker. :giggle2:

I don't have a military DH, but we have huge respect for our millitary. My FIL was in the Army for a number of years.

Just wanted to say hello! :wave:

Hey there! We're military too. My DH is Army. Woo-hoo on switching to all cloth! I think you're awesome already just because you can sew! Haha! It's talent that I definitely don't have. Good luck with making the new stash! I'm building mine from other mamas on here and my kick-butt friends that can knit (love them!). I have to say, I'm addicted already! Congrats on boy#2!

Welcome to another military wife. My hubby is a Marine. Please jump in and chat with us, we won't bite you!
I think it is awesome you have made your own diapers. Hubby bought me a sewing machine, but I haven't figured it all out yet. Heck, I have a hard time sewing a straight line, much less anything else, lol.

LOL! You sound like me. I tried just putting a trim on a blanket using a machine and had to get my MIL to jump in and save it before it was just too bad, lol.
