It's way easier than I thought it would be, but I expect it would be next to impossible if you don't have your own washer/dryer.

It's the biggest reason we didn't do it. I have to imagine that doing it just for the time I'd be home on maternity leave would save so much money. *IF* we move to a place where we have a washer/dryer in the house, I think I'll try it. When I add up how much I've spent on diapers, it almost makes me cry.

Lillian is an adorable little pants-wearing imp.

Oh, and in the latest "What the shit" moments with ridonkulous "friends"...

My co-host for B's shower, M, told B the other night that I told M I didn't want to do the shower and that I was did under "duress" and it was a "huge burden".

First of all, how effing high school.

And B) who tells someone that???

Or it's a medium Happy Heiny

Am I the only one who started chanting "mecka lecka hei, mecka heiny ho" upon reading that line?

Just me eh?

B) Someone who is jealous as shit. Again, how very high school.

Ple, the Bean is going to slay me ded. She's so adorable! Just like Pete.

Oh, Jilli....

Sean, much fingercrossing and good news ma for you both.

Things to keep in mind if Cloth Diapering Future Miracleborns:

• Okay, so if you are Stephanie, you're totally able to deal with a newborn and cloth diapers. But you're also the kind of person who can rock the bar exam RIGHT AFTER giving birth. Stephanie rules. I have Stephanie awe. It's probably good to TRY to be like Stephanie (and to follow the WWSD guidelines). However, if you're like me, and find that putting on clothing is difficult and confusing enough in those first few weeks after giving birth, use the disposables and wait until your brain is back to start on cloth.
• Pocket diapers are awesome, and have a decent resale value. Plus, they're pretty much idiot proof, because once they are stuffed, they go on like a 'sposie. You'll need at least two dozen. The new one-sizes, like BumGenius, make it way easier to deal with size changes.
• All in ones are nice, but take for-ever to dry.
• A stash of 'sposies for going out makes life easier. I've done both ways, and prefer 'sposies if I'm going to be away from the house for an extended period of time.
• Hemp with a fleece liner and a wool cover = perfect overnight diaper.

I'm trying to teach her to say the A word around Uncle Pete.

Thus far, she hasn't, but I do think we got a mangled Hail Clovis out of her over the weekend.

Well, you were at the TIME. Now I'm doing it. Curse you, wee Canadian!

Totally.

Huh, Raq, I have an almost-identical J. Peterman coat to that in Plum. (It was a bridesmaid dress.)

takes notes.

I had a dream that I had a baby on June 3. Seeing as I'd already have to be pregnant (So very NOT) to have a baby June 3, 2007, I'm banking on June 3, 2008.

Mark your calendars.

I had a dream that my co-worker had a pet squid.
