Two things:
The eggs were hard boiled. Maya loves her some hard boiled eggs. Easy for Mama, happy baby…good stuff.
Diapers? I toss them in the diaper pail–a garbage can with a
washable waterproof liner, and when it’s full I put them in the
washer. (Poos go in the toilet) I do one cold rinse
(usually with baking soda) and then a Hot/Cold regular cycle. I
use about 1/3 to 1/4 the reccommended amount of detergent because if
you use more than that you get yucky buildup that makes the diapers
stink. No fabric softener because it’s a wax, and it makes the diapers
repel moisture. Not cool. Sometimes I do an extra rinse,
and sometimes I add vinegar (softener) or Tea Tree Oil (disinfectant)
to the last rinse. Then I dry most of them in the dryer. I
wish I could hang them out on a clothesline, but we don’t have
one. Sad face.

Maybe you could get tim to build a clothesline in the bathtub. I wish it were three years from now… I can’t wait to wash some baby diapers!

Believe me. I’ve seen what comes out of babies. You can wait to wash the diapers. If you’re that gung ho about it I bet Rachel would let you wash some of hers.

Washing diapers is like an act of love. Like when I clean the bathroom instead of making my husband do it. That’s because I like him a lot. And because I don’t like to ask him to do things…
Anyway, so rach, how about that unassissted homebirth book, eh? comments?

The book I mean.
