Baby FAQ

[thanate]

...which is to say, the sort of things that get asked, not all stuff I've been pestered about.

*Due Feb 13, so if all proceeds normally arriving sometime late January or after.

*Yes, we're going to find out if it's a boy or a girl in advance; it's not as if it's going to change between now and February. We don't know yet; in the mean time, we're taking predictions. (see next post...)

*No, we're not doing pink or blue pastels; we're planning to do our best to stick to the bright crayon-box sorts of colors that are easier for developing eyes to see, anyway.

*If anybody has baby stuff you were thinking about clearing out of the attic soon, hand-me-downs are great. (but totally not necessary.)

*If anybody feels the need to give gifts (also totally not necessary), we strongly prefer handmade to store-bought.

*We have a couple name options more-or-less picked out, but nothing final yet.

*Um... ok, are there other things people desperately want to know? And people with recent experience on the eco-friendliness of diapering options, or anything else potentially useful to the small child experience, thoughts are appreciated, though I imagine I'll ask things elsewhere as they occur to me, too.

(Also, to clarify from the last post, for those who want to leave a squeeful comment about babies-- that's just fine, so long as you're not offended when I fail to try to reproduce the vaguely embarrassed "um, thanks" that I do in person in the comments.)

oh - forgot to mention - we're doing compostable delivery/pickup since we live in a sometimes water-scarce area, i thought the cloth thing would be too much water use for us.

...and this is why I ask, because I'd never heard of composting diaper service, but it definitely sounds worth looking into. Thanks!
