Babies
Although this blog started about building a house, it is also about our life in Canada. So it's probably time I started talking about the impending birth of our son who is due in about four weeks time.
I am really looking forward to being a parent although it is a bit scary and there seems a lot to learn. Just figuring out all the different products and brands available is mind boggling. We didn't want to use disposable nappies due to the massive environmental impact they have by filling up land fills. After months of research we have opted for bamboo cloth nappies, or "diapers" as they say around here. We have spent over $1000 dollars buying these and several other variations. Not the most exciting use of the money that I could think of but a necessary evil. Besides, compared to the long term cost of disposables it is actually more economical. We have some friends who use them, and swear by them, so I hope it works out ok. The main type we are using are on the right and we have 42 of them in two different sizes.
