Here we go!

The first box of baby layette has arrived! Thank you, Grandma!

As I started unpacking these beautiful organic prefold diapers, it started to really hit home: our little one is going to be here soon! I think it’s absolutely incredible that the baby will be so tiny that it will fit in these little diapers, while at the same time a bit shocked that I am going to give birth to a baby that will fit into these diapers. Do you know what I mean? Regardless, I am so excited and feel very blessed.

For those friends and family members who have been asking, we’ve finally put a baby wishlist online! Please check it out. Absolutely no pressure to buy anything! Please just enjoy looking.

As you can probably tell, we’re going mostly organic with the diapers, clothing, bedding, etc. After reading up on all the pesticides applied to cotton and the chemicals involved in wool processing, coupled with my history of chemical sensitivities and allergies, we decided that as organic as possible feels right for our family. Luckily, the green/organic baby movement is in full force and is easy to find (especially here in California — all the local children’s boutiques I’ve gone to have carried organic lines!). With the first batch of layette items here (and softer and of higher quality than I imagined!), we’re so pleased with our choice!
