My mom bought (a year and a half ago when I told her that Husband and I were trying to start our family) this book:

I've only skimmed it, but a lot of it is useful. We're lucky in San Jose to have a diaper service that composts the diapers for us. Which is an option. The other option is cloth, which is just *so* cute.

We'll be using glass bottles (because friends don't let friends drink from plastic). Most clothing, bedding, etc, will be purchased second hand. In addition to be more "green", it's also ridiculous to spend a ton of money on clothes for a baby. They'll outgrow it in a week.

I'll probably compile a list and post it here and on the other blog, since it's adoption related. But it seems so far away at this point that it would all be speculation.

So remember:
