So I know that I’ve been pretty non-existent in this space for the last few weeks, but I promise to get back to my roots.  What are your roots you say?  They are to try and catch up and write one of these per day until our little bundle of joy arrives…..maybe two a day.  I have a few saved up that I just need to tweak.  That being said, I’ll at least update with the following for now…..gosh, I have so many new songs and so much to talk about, let’s just hope we get to 39 weeks.

Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks

Not in anyway attributed to the current status of the pregnancy, as I’d like to get back to my original schedule starting tomorrow, I would like to discuss diapers.  Yes diapers folks, and I have a beef to start with this topic.

1.) Cloth diapers are for people that have the time to deal with them.

2.) With an average of 8 -10 a day (thanks MoBap birthing class), I don’t know how there isn’t a bigger deal brought up about the sheer waste both disposal and cloth diapers bring to the earth through trash and water usage.

3.) Why are there jean design diapers?

While I’m going to leave it up to the comments to better explain these topics, I’d like to point out that we personally will be using disposable diapers, as I hate dirty things, and have issues with putting poop in my washing machine.  I paid a lot for that washing machine, and if I’m going to put poop in there, and probably still have stains, it’s not going to be on 8 – 10 diapers a day.  Now in no way am I criticizing those that choose the poop clothes, as I’m sure I’m just under educated in the full process, but for me, it’s trash it and forget it.  Also, I would like to know if people using cloth diapers expect those taking care of their children to put up with them?  I have to think that it’s got to be a point of contention with some grandparents and unsuspecting uncles and aunts.

To number 3, if diaper companies would put the money that they spend in jean diaper technology back into “disposable, environmentally safe and cheaper” diaper technology, I think we’d all appreciate it.  Also, diaper companies are probably all parts of giant baby product conglomerates that in turn sell baby clothes to go over said diapers, so why don’t they focus their time on that?

Alright already, enough about diapers and their inability to not confuse me.  Tomorrow I promise Part Two of our Austin adventures, as well as the “tale of the baby shower”.  We have pictures galore of the room, the piles of gifts, and the bump….even a story of how our unborn child will be on TV before she even gets out here to say hello.  Stay tuned, listen to some tunes on the blog posts, and we’ll see you later.
