Hi Sophie! I was introduced to your work through Kat, who I went to college with, and I have love, love, LOVED every single one of these newsletters. Thank you for writing something that helps me feel seen and helps me to see. Also, I am 37 weeks pregnant and I would love to read as many more words as you would care to write (whether that is, like, thousands, or maybe 0 additional words, that’s understandable) about this diaper cream, ooh la la!

Hi Claire, I HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE THIS!!! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!! You are now 38 weeks pregnant -- your bb could come any day! It's so close! I'm so excited for you and grateful to you for sharing with me. I hope that your birth is exactly how you want it to be, when you look back at it. (It's hard to plan a birth, but it's easy to look back and say, "That was a good birth. It ended up being exactly how I wanted it to be.")

CLOTH DIAPERING: My tip is to buy a cloth diaper lot off of ebay. They're way too expensive to buy new, and they work even better used because theyre just the right amount of stretched out. I also highly recommend getting rolls of bamboo liners (very thin, like toilet paper) that you can throw in the garbage after each changing, to make your life so much easier. But if you are just interested in wiping with reusable wipes and this cream: THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME, THIS CREAM RULES. It cleans EVERYTHING off the butt. It is olive oil based. It doesn't smell like anything. The baby likes it. It prevents diaper rash BIG TIME. And it's cheap and easy to get reusable wipes (you can even just use cut-up t-shirts), and easy to wash them. So anyway, this cream is great and I highly recommend it.
