Mommy Seinfeld + Plea for Comments

I feel like I could write a Mommy Seinfeld episode surrounding my ponderings of this case of size 5 unopened Pampers Baby-Dry.

Opened and in the diaper bin I have approximately 15 diapers and about 10 pull-ups. I know I am jinxing myself, but with no accidents in days, and 2 mornings with dry diapers, I am thinking I do not need this $20 case of diapers. What to do?

  1. Do I take them back to Target? I still have the receipt.
  2. Do I bequeath them to Mia's mommy who is doing the gradual potty training? Mia is mostly wearing pull-ups though.
  3. Do I give them to brand-new-baby Ben or sudden baby Jamar? Posts for another day - but they are both still in newborns, so it seems silly.
  4. Do I take them to the charity where I send the clothes that are too small for Jax that I did not intend to hold on to? (For what has happened to those I was going to keep, refer to future post on sudden-baby-Jamar. Actually, that story is worth at least two posts.) That would require effort, and leaving my office between the hours of 8:30 and 5.
  5. Do I hold on to them to head off said jinx? That could be "wasting" $20.
But the number 1 question: Why in the world am I obsessing over what to do with this silly case of diapers???

I am going to thinly veil my plea for comments (I RARELY have any - please comment you lurkers - I hope there are lurkers, that is - I have even posted pics, and no comments) behind a request to vote:

What do YOU think I should do with this case of diapers?

Save them for the little babies. As you can see, those babies turn into big stinky butts really really quickly. I had several sizes of diapers in the closet for Brady that other friends gave me and it was good because I didn't have to run out of diapers when he got to each next stage.

I agree with Kim... Sophie gradually moved full time to panties. We kept using pull ups at night for a couple of weeks. She was usually dry in the morning, but after awhile, she told me she did not want to wear pull ups any more. Glad to hear that Jax got his cake! Good job!
