It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

I sat by that stroller and called out her name for three minutes: “Julia, Julia, Juuulllliiiiiiaa.” But she wouldn’t emerge. Finally this happened.

Here’s 6 day old Wallace and I! He was born March 11th, 12 days past his due date (typical for my family), and is perfectly healthy. He attracts a lot of attention, which makes me have to explain our family a lot. Thanks for all the love on our pregnancy photo, it made my day! - Jenn/Momma

Please reblog guys.
Reblogging because I remember thirteen years ago seeing my oldest brother and his gf crying because they couldn’t afford diapers for their first child.
Oh they do accept cloth diaper donations! Yay!
I’d feel better about it if they showed some brown babies, or diapers drying in urban settings. Ever tried washing cloth diapers at a laundromat? When I was living in the city, you could have given me all the cloth diapers you wanted but I wouldn’t be able to use them more than once.
It’s a nice idea, but…
Washing dipes in an urban setting is totally possible if you don’t mind hand washing. We hand wash and dry on a folding drying rack in front of a fan or on our teeny porch :)
I live in the city. I bought a portable, apartment sized washing machine for $200. I line dry my diapers.
