The company kind ;) Every year, we have a triathlon which involves fun events. Past events have included such things as bowling, mini-golf, go-karting, etc. I hope the events this year are pregnant lady friendly; I’m sure they’ve taken that into account. The events are a surprise until the triathlon begins. So, tomorrow afternoon is our annual triathlon, which will be fun I’m sure! It also means we’re only working until noon, so that’s awesome! And then in the evening, we have our annual post-triathlon BBQ which will also be fun I’m sure. Really, it’s only this event and the Christmas party when we all get together with our significant others. So, I’m looking forward to it.
Mrs. JB, as a recent new mom, I would love to hear your perspective on the whole cloth vs disposable diaper decision (see previous post). I am on the fence; although, as I mentioned, we will be getting lots of disposable diapers for free from Carlos’ family, so I think we’ll start with those and decide once the baby is here about whether we’ll want to switch to cloth once we use the disposables up or stay with disposables.

Apparently there is a diaper service in the bigger city I live near where they pick up & clean the dirty diapers and drop of clean ones each week. They told me that the price works out to be about the same - however, I'm guessing that's over the entire span of the child's diaper wearing years with a larger investment up front.
I know people who use cloth (on their own, not through a diaper service) and love them. I also know people who use disposeables. I personally use disposeables as they are more convenient (and the diaper service doesn't come out to my town). As a third option, I know that there are diapers that are almost entirely biodegradeable - though they are more expensive than "normal" disposeable diapers. You don't put them in the landfill but rather you put them in a compost pile. Might be another option to consider.
Honestly, I haven't done too much looking into cloth diapers. Life is busy enough without having to wash and deal with dirty cloth diapers (since I don't have access to a diaper service).
I don't think I'm much help, but that's my 2 cents. :)
Have fun doing your "triathlon" today! :)
Thanks! We have no idea what we'll be doing, but we have been put into teams and told to bring a copy of 3 regulations (air quality, water quality, and soil standards)... and we need a GPS... so, we were joking that they are trying to get a free Phase 1 out of the deal! ;)
I'm sure whatever we do will be fun! I have a feeling it will be something like the amazing race or a scavenger hunt with 3 different places we have to find with different activities... but I have no idea what we'll use the regs for!
