There will not be new bedding, picked out by a mommy who knew it was "the one."
There will not be a brand new crib.
There will not be hoardes of new clothes, because, let's face it: Auntie Jess already had a boy.
There will not be a house to call our own.
But, as of today, there will be diapers.
And because I want to make sure that there can be a mommy at home full time, we're going a direction I never, ever imagined we would go. You may be looking at the last diapers we'll ever buy.
Yes, we're going green. Or - more likely - brown. After a lot of research, we settled on Rumparooz, which have a fabulous reputation in the hiney-covering department. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous about this new adventure.
At the same time, though, it gave me such satisfaction to pick these babies up! With everything else so up in the air and the arrival of this baby coming up so quickly, I have horrible guilt over all the things Leah had in place which he will not.
But, by golly, he will have diapers. And three people who love him to pieces.
What else does he need, really?
We used cloth diapers and LOVED them. Used for burp cloths and comfort and...all kinds of things. Kept them for years after they were needed and finally they made the best dust rags ever. Just keep the pampers around for going out. It's just not worth the hassle of carrying around dirty diapers at restaurants or the zoo.
