And the answer is...
Cloth. Yes, I can't believe we are committing to this, but Tom and I have decided to go ahead and try the cloth route. Believe me, a lot of research went into this!! There is a diaper service here in Cincinnati called Good Natured Baby (http://www.goodnaturedbaby.com), and it will be about the same cost, if not cheaper than disposables. By the way, thanks to Ashley for recommending them! We are hoping this will be a good compromise for us. If it turns out to be too much we will look for other options, but this is what is looking like the right course for us. I think the main reasons we decided to do this is to reduce our environmental impact and for the health of our baby. It will definitely be less convenient, but that's okay. We are willing to make the sacrifice if it is better for everybody.

Yay! Good for you! I'm so happy that you chose to use cloth. When your baby is potty trained you can even re-sell your diapers so that they can continue to be used! Or, hang on to them for baby #2. ;-) I know it's a tough/messy choice to use cloth but, you will feel so much better knowing that you at least gave it a shot!

(These are also easy to sew at home for SUPER cheap.)
I am actually excited about the idea of using cloth - which seems really strange!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a good decision :)
