You know my love of numbers, right? I'm an analyst so I play with numbers a lot. I mean, I may never live down the day that I posted about having pumped 58 gallons of milk up to that point (and hey, over a month has passed since then, I'm sure it's nearly time to recalculate!). Well, I realized that the babies are 24 weeks old tomorrow. Can you believe it? That's a long time to be as sleep deprived as I am. It's also a long time to be changing diapers. I figure we average 18 diapers per day (it was more in the beginning, but some days are less, so it's an AVERAGE people… do NOT pick on my math here!). Do you know how many diapers that is??
I do.
Three thousand twenty four diapers.
That's a lot of diapers. Thank heavens for my father who has been generous enough to send us the vast majority of the diapers that we've needed. We have only bought a few of our own diapers (primarily the preemie diapers that we used in the beginning). I consider us very, very lucky. We also have very generous friends with bigger kids than we have, who have given us their leftover diapers as their kids have outgrown diapers that my kids are still wearing.
And seriously? I am extraordinarily grateful that J is (finally!) potty trained. It couldn't have come at a better time!

hey, here is the site i was talking about where i made the extra cash, I was making about $900 extra a month…check it out ..
Wow- that’s a LOT of diapers!!
heh…could you just real quick do a tally on ours for me… Thanks. 🙂
Three thousand twenty four diapers… that’s just crazy… and I thought we were going through a lot. :-)-Faith
That is a lot of diapers! I am an analyst of sorts and I HATE numbers. I guess that is kind of why I hate my job. 🙂
oooohhhh yeah. we’ve only had to buy one pack of diapers so far. hope it stays that way!
Oy!! That’s some pile of diapers! Thanks for the previous post, and the one before that! The kiddies are looking (and doing!!) so fabulous.Yay Supermama!
hey! thanks a lot! i was happy living in denial of how many diapers we have gone through up until this point. especially now that we are nearing the end of the free diapers we have accumulated and have to think about purchasing them on our own!
You are so scaring me–I don’t even want to do the math. After 3 1/2 years and numerous diapers a day… Millions? Trillions? Will they just hurry up and start using the potty?I think more impressive than the diapers themselves is the fact that you don’t have a wrist injury from the 3024 diaper changes.
I am so over diapers. Gah. Potty training can’t come soon enough.
Hi there,I am tagging you for a meme if you have the time go herehttp://averyopenbook.blogspot.com/2008/03/edamame-and-books.html
Have you considered switching to cloth? It’s not the pins-and-prefolds-and-ARGH it was years ago. Actually, the laundry is no problem at all – just another load every few days.I cloth diaper my twins 😉
