32 weeks!!! And my newest cloth diaper!

Wow time fly's!! i cannot believe I am already 32 weeks along in this pregnancy. I know I still have eight weeks left but it feels like just around the corner. I am feeling very prepared for our unassisted home birth. Joe still needs a few "baby catching" lessons and I need to order cord clamps but other than that our birth kit is complete and I am feeling very confident and ready to give birth to this baby. (We plan on using braided embroidery thread for the cord so the clamps are just for an emergency) Here are my latest round of preggie shots : )

32 weeks
I was really trying to look ecstatic to be preggie here lol


I have also been hard at work sewing "practice" diapers. After sewing several of those I finally decided that I was ready to attempt to make a "real" diaper using my special fabrics and snap fasteners. I'm hoping to get about 15 diapers out of the fabric I bought so one down 14 to go! Here is my finished product...

This is an All In One (AIO) One size fits "most" Pocket diaper. There is a pocket in the back where the absorbent insert is placed. I used the Snap Sprout diaper pattern...

This is the inside of the dipe that will be touching the baby's skin. Its suedcloth. I wanted to use organic bamboo velour but at almost 20 bucks a yard I just couldn't justify it

This is the outside. The white you see is Poly Urithane Laminate (PUL) Its completely waterproof! So cool

Thank you so much Mom and Dad for my steller sewing machine!!!! We have become very good friends and without it I could not have been able to sew these awesome diapers!
