Sorry for the Silence

Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I've blogged. I'm super busy and super stressed. Because of school and that whole, "I'm having a baby in less than 3 weeks panic." But fret not, I have not had the baby. The baby is still lodged inside my body doing weird rolling movements that remind me of an alien. My belly button is lopsided and weird and keeps teasing me like it's going to pop out and it doesn't. I am swollen and tired and cranky. This is not fun. Not that I ever thought that pregnancy was fun, but no really, IT IS NOT FUN. AM DONE NOW.

Alex and I are having the great diaper debate. Cloth? Disposable? Somewhere in between? Right now, we are leaning towards that last one. I'd prefer it if I could find someone who has actually used them. I've read some blogs of people who have used cloth diapers and they seem to like them. The problem with going whole hog cloth is that I am really grossed out by dirty diapers and we are lazy. Doing laundry EVERY SINGLE DAY, including a batch of pooped on diapers? No thanks! But then...I FEEL SO GUILTY ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. Not to mention that cloth diapers are cheaper, or so I've been told. Have you ever looked up the cost of cloth diapers? HOLY MOLY THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. But they last! A while! For hopefully more than one child! But then we'd have to pay attention and do laundry a lot and dear lord, I don't think I can possibly handle one more added responsibility right now. Which is why the earth friendliness of the gDiapers, combined with the ease of flushability is looking REALLY nice right about now.

(Do not worry, internet. We do own diapers. If the baby makes his grand entrance tomorrow, we are ready. But we certainly do not have a lifetime supply of diapers and we have our eyes on the future.)

See? I go away for two weeks and the best I can do is whine and talk about diapering systems. I am SO BORING now.
