Mommy Rant - Diapers

Okay, so before Lily was born I was at Costco with my mom and thought, hey, why don't I save myself some money and check out the cost of diapers here! So I waddled over to the diaper aisle and did some price comparisons. The Kirkland brand of diapers was far less expensive (go figure) than Pampers or Huggies so I bought a box of 260 diapers thinking I was pretty smart. Well, I got so many packages of Pampers Swaddlers for shower gifts and from the hospital that for the first 3 weeks that's all we used, and they're fantastic by the way. The day came that we ran out of the Swaddlers and I cracked open the box of Kirkland's. Every single friggin' Kirkland diaper I've put on Lily has leaked. I go to her in the middle of the night and her bed and onesie is soaking wet, or even better, I'm breastfeeding her and I feel her poop and then an odd warm sensation starts spreading across my stomach and I lift her and my shirt is covered in poop! I finally had enough this morning and sent Jason to the store for "real" diapers, something brand name, whatever is on sale I said. So he comes back with Huggies, perfect! So I open the on-sale-but-still-super-expensive bag of Huggies to put them away and to my utter horror, THEY'RE THE SAME DIAPERS AS THE KIRKLAND BRAND. Kirkland diapers are quite obviously made by Huggies. So now I have about 300 crappy (no pun intended) diapers that are going to cost me a fortune in Ivory Snow from all the laundry I'm going to be doing. I've learned my lesson, Pampers from now on!

Now here's a picture of Lily for your patience in listening to me rant and rave :)
