Need help from open minded moms!

Okay, so I'm thinking about cloth diapering the baby, I know it's early but with school starting in 3 weeks I won't have time to do anything besides homework and house work!!

So, I need mommies feedback...I was raised with cloth diapers, and I wish to do the same for my baby. It's a fact that it is healthier, better for the environment, and even cheaper...but since we don't live on a house (maybe by the time the baby arrives, but who knows) I would need to hire a diaper service which makes it a little bit costlier but more efficient for me per say, taking it to a tie with disposable diapers cost wise and waste wise.

So, how was your experience with cloth diapers? If you too are expecting, will you try them? Did you hated them and went with the other option? What label/brand of diaper wrap/cover would you recommend? If you are a mommy in Arizona like me, what service did you tried?

I have found 2 legit looking companies that offer the full diaper service, so far if I decide to go with the cloth diapers, I'll be using the services of "Next Generation Baby," their website offers a great amount of information, plus they have a trial pack (which would be awesome for the first weeks before making a full commitment), and offer an online store which carries different types of wraps and covers for their diapers. =D

So far J has leaved everything up to me, he really doesn't oppose to my ideas while I have enough information to back up my decisions. He's such a supportive of non-traditional methods for raising kids while they have a scientific and logic explanation of their pros and cons. =)

I'll be waiting for answers (if I get any) from you experienced mommies out there and future moms-to-be like me who are in need of advice.

Thanks for reading and supporting the cause!! ;)

P.S:
Any type of feedback is welcomed for both types of diapers, because I prefer to have some reviews than going into it fully blinded and holding high expectations.

We are pregnant!!

Holy Mackerel!! I can't believe it yet, every time I say it out loud sounds unreal!!

So we had our Big Fat Positive (BFP) a while ago, around July 5th, but we didn't got to see the baby until the 23rd on a sonogram...it was amazing seeing such a little baby floating and moving around like a dancer without feeling a thing!! 0_0

So I measured at 9 weeks and 4 days, which means that I'm 10w4d today!! Yay, I can't wait to turn 12w so I can kiss goodbye morning sickness, and wait to start feeling the baby move, knowing that she/he can hear my voice (I already sing, but it's just for practice ;D), play music, and so many other little activities that make this stage on a woman's life so special.

I can only hope that my school schedule won't give me a hard time during the last weeks of classes, since the semester ends on December and the baby will be arriving some time in February I know that I'll look ginormous, but my overall confort/health and the baby's will come first no matter what.

Oh, J and I got married on tuesday, it was a very simple and intimate reunion with out closest friends who joined us at court, and later we went to Hooters to grab a bite, get a drink (I got water, of course), and to talk about past memories while creating new ones! (Jacob: Hey!! Waitress: WTF? Are you talking to me??! Jacob: 0_0;;).

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back soon with more info and more updates about the baby, school, and my latest adventures!!

Love you all;
