How many diapers?!?!

As most people know, babies go through a lot of diapers. We've seen an estimate that states an average of 10 -12 diapers/day for each newborn. Of course, that depends on the baby. It could be more or less. Now take that that number and multiply it by three. Whoa!!! That's a huge amount of diapers each day.

To try and stay a little ahead, we've started purchasing some diapers. We read this somewhere - "Buy lots of diapers before multiples are born. It doesn't matter how many you buy or what size because you'll use all of them and more". We believe it. Here's a scenario. Prepare yourself for what you about to read. At Sam's Club, we purchased a box of Huggies size 1-2. There are 228 diapers in the box. We'll use the 10 diapers/day/newborn for an easy calculation. That box of 228 diapers should last approximately 7.6 days! My goodness! We can't wait to see the total number of diapers used by all three. We're going to try and keep a count. The number should be staggering.

To help with the advance purchasing of diapers, we've asked certain people to clip coupons and give them to us. Thanks to all the coupon clippers helping us. We're going to try and create a stockpile before the babies arrive. If anyone knows of a place on the internet to buy diapers at a low price, please let us know.
