Last weekend, the grandmas-to-be hosted a baby shower for our little monkey. Our aunts, cousins and friends of our moms descended upon us in droves to present us with all the accoutrements necessary to housing, feeding, diapering, clothing and caring for a baby. Both Babydaddy and I were overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of everyone who attended and consider ourselves so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.
We are now flush with diapers, which is a huge relief...we're going the cloth route with diapering. The massive amounts of money parents spend on diapering, coupled with the environmental impact of disposable diapers made me certain that cloth was the right choice for us. A disposable diaper will sit in a landfill for 250 years before decomposing! That weighs on my conscious, given my affection for Planet Earth. Furthermore, average potty-training age has risen expotentially since the introduction of disposable diapers...I'm optimistic that my diapering years will be limited by using cloth. That and the fact that both Babydaddy and I loved being clean and nude far too much to stay in diapers for long.
We're slowly working on getting the nursery ready for the little monkey -then we can unpack all our fantastic gifts and get to work arguing about how to set up the swing and bouncy chair!
