Cottonbabies.com contest

So I wrote a little poem for a CottonBabies.com contest (they make the fabulous bumGenius diapers we’ve used on Meredith since she was just a few weeks old) and am posting it here!

Here’s a little poem I wrote about our CDing experience with bumGenius 3.0s!

“I’m going to use cloth!”
I announced at my baby shower.
And the looks that soon followed
Nearly sent me to the corner to cower.

“Are you crazy?” “Don’t you realize?”
Many of my guests said, mouths gaping.
“You’ll be up to your elbows in stinky diaper water!
“You’ve most certainly gone crazy!”

But despite general shock
Over our diapering decision,
When baby Meredith was born,
We set out on our cloth mission.

After starting with prefolds,a
Complete with diaper pins,
I started thinking maybe we WERE nuts
And almost threw the towel in.

But alas! After some research,
And a visit to Cotton Babies,
bumGenius pocket diapers
Were exactly what saved me.

With Daddy-friendly velcro
And cleanup that was a breeze,
Our new 3.0 diapers
Meant we were soon cloth diapering with ease.

Now, two years later,
Those same diapers we bought
Will be used on our new baby
What a wonderful thought!

So thanks, Cotton Babies,
For proving this new mom’s not nuts
To try diapering a bit “old school”
We really love your products lots!
