About Me

My photo
My name is Erin Schillo and I am a Cloth Diaper Consultant for Everything Birth! I help people sort through the miriad of cloth diaper options and help them chose which diaper(s) will work best for their family. I can help you with your online registry, host local diaper parties where you can touch and see the diapers first hand, and offer FREE personal consultations (in person and online). I have a wonderful husband, Greg, who is VERY supportive of our choice to cloth diaper. He LOVES the cost savings because he's an accountant! We have a daughter, Savanna, who was born on April 10, 2010 and a son on the way, due March 8, 2012.

argh....in the hospital!!!

Well I was SO hopeful this pregnancy would be smoother than my daughters, but I guess I was wrong! I have a rare condition called Uterine Didelphys. I have 2 uterus' and 2 cervixes. With my daughter I had loads of complications and she was born at 33 weeks. My hope was that she "stretched" me out and that this pregnancy would be much easier, and it kind of has been, up until now.

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and I've been getting weekly ultrasounds to measure everything and make sure Jude stays put (Jude Allen Schillo is our little man's name!). 2 weeks ago my fluid level was at 12, then last week it was at 8, and yesterday it was at 6. So off to the hospital I went.

They are doing another ultrasound here in a few hours to check it again....

HOPEFULLY the fluid starts to go up and I can go HOME on bedrest, but if it stays the same I'll probably be here on bedrest. Needless to say I'll be writing on this blog alot!

Done with my newborn stash, I'm sad!

So my little guy is due any week now, I'm only 32 weeks but my daughter was born at 33 weeks and all signs are pointing I won't go much longer with him! I started buying prefolds, covers and AIO's a few months ago in preparation for his arrival. I ended up with 9 covers (Thirsties and Weehuggers), 24 infant prefolds, and 12 Grovia AIO's.

I'm starting to get everything prepped and ready to go and I'm SAD! Diapers are addicting and I keep seeing more diapers that I want to get him!

My stash of cloth wipes should be here today too, I'm SUPER excited to finally get those going. I've been wanting to for a while, but with #2 joining our family it just makes sense. I hate having to separate the wipes from the diapers and put them in 2 different cans...I can't wait to streamline our cloth diapering!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! BOY did this holiday season FLY by. It seems like Thanksgiving was just yesterday!

I hope everyone had a GREAT holiday season! #2 for us is due March 8th, but my DD was born at 33 weeks, so I'm getting a bit nervous he's gonna be early as well. Starting to nest and get everything ready. Got my diaper stash all ready to go!

I'm conjuring up some contest ideas and reviews for the new year. PLEASE comment on what prizes and reviews you would like to see!
