Diapers and stuff!

Dsc_0258Diapers on the line, ahhhh.  We’re still cloth diapering, but haven’t really gotten swell with the prefolds, dammit. I just cleaned out a vendor of their Kissaluvs in the next size up, so when Ingrid outgrows the Zeros (shown here) we’ll be good to go for the next size. A lot of people don’t like the 1s as much as the 0s,citing absorbency issues, but with prefolds used as doublers, I think we’ll be good to go. BUT, that being said, we don’t need all 3 dozen, and I’ve put together a package of stuff to sell to anyone who wants to try cloth diapering for cheap.  Package includes:

  • 18 Unbleached Chinese Prefolds, size small, aka Infant. I purchased them from here,
    have washed them several times with no detergent to ‘season’ them,
    folded them, and then never used them. The CPFs we have used have all
    come from the front of the basket, so these haven’t even seen drool, as
    I don’t rotate the stock, so to speak. (retails for $28)
  • 1 Newborn ProRap cover (retails for 7.50)
  • 1 Newborn Bummis Super Snap cover (retails for 8.99)
  • 1 Newborn Prorap AIO diaper(retails for 9.95)
  • 1 green Snappi diaper fastener

The
covers were part of an ebay lot, I used the Bummi’s once, and didn’t
like it as much as my Imse Vimses.  They are in great condition.  I’d
like to sell the whole set for $30*, shipped priority mail to the US.

*Super Secret Blog Reader discount. I have them listed for 35 on the forums.

The other thing I have for sale is a Slingset pouch, in periwinkle(scrolldown for pic), size 6.  I purchased it to be an outer pouch for 2 pouch carries, but it’s just not as easy as I found wrapping to be, so I have a new (to me, I never pay retail!) gypsy mama wrap on the way to  have for light 2-shouldered carries. I do like the pouch, which is why I’m keeping the size 5, and this was purchased brand new from the retailer. It’s a discontinued color (sadly, as I think it’s the nicest one), so I paid 25 + 4-something for s&h.  A new one in a current color is $38, and the Super Secret Blog Reader discount price for this is $20, shipped priority mail to the US.

Also up for grabs, a Nicole Miller Snugli, purchased for $25 at BRU, and never used, because I dig my pouches way more. Super Secret Blog Reader Discount, $15, shipped priority mail in the US.

Everything comes from a smoke free home, but we do have a cat. (DUH.)  However, the cat has never been near the diapers, snugli, or slingset pouch, as Ingrid’s room freaks her right the fuck out.

 

In other news, Dave and I had an awesome evening the other night designing a logo for my new project BangorBaby.com.  I’m still working on fleshing it out, and am more motivated to since Andy just told some of his friends about it, and they happen to work at the BDN, and thought it would be a great thing to mention. Um, GIVE ME A MINUTE! ACK! Now I’m installing forums, maybe have a baby-stuff gretchen’s-list FSOT kind of thing there, or whatever, because that’s something that would probably be cool to have around here…  and on THAT note, if anyone has any tips on how to customize a wordpress theme with the logo, etc, to give it more fluidity, that would be cool. I’m still mucking around, trying to do it myself, but if anyone has a tip — let me know. (And if you wouldn’t mind clicking the link, someone, I’d like to see if my statcounter is working…. )

And forreading all that, it’s a picture of mama and ingrid!

  1. Hee. If I was in the market for newborn diapers, I’d be asking if there is a double discount for being a blog reader and a forum member 🙂 I checked out BangorBaby and had to mention how awesome it is! I suffered a similar frustration scoping out all of the baby/toddler stuff where I’m living (apparently no one uses the internet here! Ugh!), but I’ve only dedicated a category on my own blog to cataloging what I’ve unearthed. I have serious logo envy!

  2. Great idea for a site!!! I like the orange and the logo.
    While EMMC is the primary provider for most of Penobscot County, would it make sense to provide some information about the other hospitals that women might deliver at? For example, PVH in Lincoln? I know several women who planned to deliver at EMMC but didn’t have the time to make the drive and delivered in Lincoln instead. Some of the other hospitals might offer childbirth/sibling classes that would be more convenient for some of your potential audience. Oh, and a reminder that St. Joe’s no longer delivers babies! 🙂
