…and he’s not even out of the womb yet.

A huge HUG and KISS to Auntie Rachel for finding these. If LW was here and could talk, I know he would say: “Thanks Auntie Rachel. You rock!”

And speaking of presents…can someone please fill me in on the proper registry etiquette: does one add a diaper pail to their baby registry? Is this a gift someone will actually want to give?

“Dear Marta and Dustin. Congratulations on your adorable little baby boy! Hope you and LW enjoy the diaper pail.”

Is it possible to ‘enjoy’ a bin full of crap? I’m going to cringe every time I look at it. Maybe gag a little every time I open it. And I’ll think of you. Thanks!

And then there’s the question: are diaper pails just a marketing gimmick? Do I really need a special bin with expensive liners I can only buy at one store in the city? Will wrapping each individual diaper in its own little plastic bag actually contain the smell or simply reduce it from putrid to foul, while only doubling the waste?

These are the kind of difficult conundrums that preoccupy my mind these days…
