She is probably hitting a growth spurt and the resulting movement and such that goes with that (wiggle-baby).
I would definitely recommend a waterproof pad below her (they come in about a 12x18 inch size that fits nicely... and most of them are covered in a flannel-type cover that is actually sealed to the plastic/rubber). That would at least save the bedding.
You can also DOUBLE diaper (use the smaller size inside, and the bigger size outside)... but that gets a bit awkward.
Another solution would be to use plastic pants over the diaper. This would get hot in the summer, but hopefully this is a temporary situation.
Mostly, you are looking to protect the bedding and if possible the sleeper. Save yourself. Baby's skin really isn't as sensitive as the commercials make them out to be... except with bowel movements, which are acidic and can literally burn the skin. Urine is sterile and pretty neutral pH-wise.

Hope this helps.
