a random parenting thought

so i realized the other day that getting ready for the imminent arrival of the peanut means i will have to start buying THREE different kinds of detergent for washing clothes.

we usually get some earth friendly stuff, because it's, you know, earth friendly and probably better for our septic tank than anything else. i've also recently started buying some stain fighter all or era of something or other because when you have a toddler you just need that. but for the newborn, we need to start getting all free clear or something similar to use for about the first year. because a newborn baby's skin is so sensitive and stuff, you can't have stain fighters and static guards and fragrances in the detergent you use.

at least i have some time before i'm buying 3 different kinds of milk again.
