We tried reusable, but our first was a fairly light sleeper, so as soon as he wet the reusable ones he'd wake up. YMMV, but that was our experience, and it was dependent on the kid.
We could always talk about snow blowers again
I don't think any of the small weener crowd come in here much.

I can't really participate in that conversation either.
We spent about $300 or so on the crib from a baby store in MN when our first was born. It was Italian, a nice brand. It has been in almost constant use for 11.5yrs now (few years off). Unfortunately it was an awesome drop side which was nice for me, a shorty. But idiots had to buy cheap cribs and install them wrong and babies got injures so dropside cribs are "illegal" now. We use it, but it has a stabilizer on it provided by the company so it no longer functions as a drop-side. We bought a simple 3 drawer dresser from a regular furniture place. We went with white so it was easy to match.
I must be a diaper snob, I don't like Target brand. Amazon is cheaper on Pampers.
Made it to the IL's, celebrated FIL'S 70th birthday. Hubby ended up buying him 18yr aged Jameson.

You wanna talk about manly single person things? This crib, baby, family stuff is something I have nothing to add to over the last 3 weeks.
And totally not poking at you, birdy, but I heard an ad for huggies today that said what percentage of "2nd time parents" preferred huggies to *other brands*...like with the first one, everyone goes all out, on the 2nd one, it's "hey, it's cheaper, it works, eff it, it's gonna get pooped in and thrown away, who cares"...onna pampers Amazon may well be cheaper, we never priced pampers anywhere. Figured we'd start with the cheapest (other than obvious bad brands) and see if we needed to upgrade. Never did. We know several families that are all on Target brand diapers. *edit...meant to end with...but I only say this to put where we're at, not to claim superiority over others' choices...since baby stuff tends to naturally devolve into that in other online discussions. If you want to use pampers, and can buy them...I'm cool with that, it just wasn't for us...cause my wife is very frugal. She'd get ****** if I bought her roses on valentine's day.

I've noticed your lack of creepy lately. This other stuff must be sucking the life and will out of you.
this is so sneaky and from Revkah! I never would have thought of that. But yeah, it's not like you're inviting them to the shower, so how would they ever know.
lots of friends/family had babies one summer. Target and Babies R Us stuff starting showing up in the mail and email. DH gave me the suspicious face.
I bought some nice furniture for college off of Craiglist, BFF did that for her kiddos. Went to the garage sales in the nice part of Dubuque. I totally want to do that for ok to reuse baby stuff when we get there. Since we're spending money on them having a room instead.
Believe it or not, I'm about 90% with you there, WDM. Everything but the "manly single" part.
Sophomore in high school. I usually do stuff like this at 10-11 but I had a open presents and go out to eat.
