Disposable Diaper Hell

Well, my little man has decided that anytime he pees, he MUST be changed right away. So, because of my little man's new pee episodes, he is using many more cloth diapers than originally. So, last night we ran out of diapers (we are using a service) so I went to the store to buy some disposables in the meantime. Every mom I talk to says, "just go with the Pampers-don't bother with the other brands". So, I, as a good mom, listen to my friends who dispose of their diapers and
buy the top of the line diapers. It'll work just as well as cloth, right?

well, last was fine. no issues. he didn't poo really, but I figured that it would be just fine. Mister I-decided-that-four-in-the-morning-is-my-wake-up-call was ever so cranky from being overly tired and constipated. We went for a 45 minute drive during lunch to catch some zzz's (he slept at most an hour today-makes for tired mommy and tired baby). After lunch with dad, I picked him up and realized he finally went #2. YAY!!! Then I felt something wet...and smelled, well, poo-like...and here we are, our first true blow out.

Ok, I think to myself, it's just the fact that he had a LOT in there and that is why he blew out of the diaper. I get home only to find out it's ONLY around the edges. No, nothing in the actual diaper portion. All on the edges and up his back. And, to top it all, he stained his insert to the car seat.

Well, I clean up my outrageously cranky child and put him in the swing for a moment while I clean up the mess. He starts to fuss again, so I sit and sing to him next to him in the swing, only to realize he blew out of the disposable AGAIN. I'm thinking, THIS one will be good. It has to be! I pick him up and find that the SAME thing happened AGAIN. I am thinking I have a botched set of diapers. I clean him up again and attempt to put him back in the swing to find out that he blew out onto the swing seat. Now THAT is talent! Now my ever so cranky kid needed to be put down so I could clean up the spot on the swing but would only be happy in the swing...ugh. Anyway, I never have these issues with cloth at all. I have never stained an outfit with cloth. I *sniff* miss my cloth!

Cranky Monster just went to sleep an hour ago. I'm truly exhausted from this day. And don't even put a paper diaper near me anytime in the near future. I will light it on fire. And... I am never, ever using 'Sposies again. Just sayin'.
