never go home

We’ve made a lot of progress on the baby gear front. My parents were in town last weekend and got us all set up with a car seat (which is one of the few items that we have to have–we aren’t allowed to take the baby home without one). They also helped us pick out a possible color or two for our baby room (one is “April Sky” which looks darker and grayer on our sample) and they bought us several UNC shirts for our clothesline.

We are now trying to figure out the diaper situation. Considering we have a very limited amount of diaper experience between the two of us, we’ve been soliciting recommendations. In the past week or so, we’ve heard about these flushable gDiapers from several different sources. I am a little weary of about the “swishstick” that you use to stir your toilet like a pot of soup and I am suspicious of products that named using a lowercase letter followed by an uppercase letter…but then again that letter isn’t an i or e. However it sounds like these diapers are the poop! We’ve also heard you can use cloth diapers with the gDiaper liners without any problems and then just use the flushables for when you are traveling (and have access to industrial strength toilets, hopefully).

We are off to the midwife this morning for E’s Rh immune globulin shot. She found out after her first blood work that she is O negative and I am A positive so the baby is likely to be positive.  The shot keeps E from having a reaction to the baby’s blood (or something like that). I guess this used to be a big problem back in the day…modern science is pretty amazing…
