Yeah Bea I do like those ones....lol... its tempting.. my mum gave me more money today, but I think I'll wait until after we do our tax.. just in case we owe some money..
I have a bubba moe sling and a cheap baby bjorn like carrier - so not sure I can talk DH into ANOTHER one...
Hmm.. maybe I should buy a person just a random present.. LOL.. addresses please... pmsl...
You can never have enough carriers Mel... just like nappies. (although I'm not the best person to talk to about carriers, I'm on my way to my 6th. Actually, that's 7, but one is crap and I haven't sold it yet but don't use it, so I don't count it in my carrier stash. And I could happily get more)
Right, that's it, I'm going to bed, Mr Teething Madly has just gone to sleep and I suspect that he'll be up quite a bit tonight. He did have to wait until the night that we got our own bedroom back to start teething again (mum left today and she had our room and we slept in Euan's room, so we've had bugger all sleep for the last week because Euan slept well, but snores and farts and tosses and turns) *sigh*.

: making a sentence make sense (say that three times real quick, go on, I dare you)
Mel you could buy me nappies nooo I have tax cheque on the way.
I spoke to FAO who told me that they have our returns and are about to wave a number in front of the ATO which means our returs will arrive very soon! :woot: I cant wait to go Nappy shopping and pay off all the bills and our used little bomb
My friend who is an MCN user's little girl is back in hospital She is also a BB member but doesnt come on often. Poor bubba hopefully this time the tubes work and her sugars can stabilise and everything works properly.
I have to choose which nappies I want! I am thinking about a bulk pack of cushie tushies that are suitable for night use. I also have to choose a dryer. hmmm, any suggestions?
I'm not a fan of cushie tushies at all but thats just me, if they work on your girls, go for it. I ahve two and i really dont like them. mayebt he new ones are better. who knows.
Suse!! What carriers do you have?! On your way to HOW many?? I've only got...um...5...oh. Not including the Bjorn. Never mind then.
Well done on the moderator status too. And hugs with the teething, Si's getting his bottom teeth, I can feel and see them under the skin. Hope tonight's a good night for both of us!!
Your costumes finally loaded for me Mel, amazing work! You're a very talented lady, for sure.
Mel, you are doing a fantastic job baking your baby, don't lose heart mate. Any moment now. I heard of someone who bought herself a nappy for every day she was overdue. How about a D'lish, do you have one of those? Have you got any BerryPlushes? I LOVE them on Silas, have from an early age.
Right, well Mazzie, I am TRYING to open your thread, but until it opens (at the rate of my internet, it could weeks), YAY! For whatever good thing you posted about. :P
Nelle - I've got a solarweave Connecta, BHB RS, catbirdbaby MT, 4.5mtr Vatanai (Tibet), and I've just bought two Didy silver waves which are being dyed now and one will be slingified, the other will become a MT conversion which is getting done by one of the BCD mums. Oh, and the babyrock 'comfycarry' (now there's an oxymoron) which is the one that I don't use.
Wow - Si's teething already? Hope you get a good night's sleep too, Euan's already been up once (which is why I'm not in bed yet), I'm off to put him back to bed for take two...

I just went and did something grown up, i went to see a movie childfree - amazement. ANd had hot chocolate (with mandatory marshmallow) afterwards. Doesn't take much to please me these days. But the whole movie, i thought about bilby, i cried in the movie thinking about bilby, her growing up, leaving home, etc - anyone would think i was pregnant or something (hormones going ballistic). ha ha, that would have to be immaculate conception then.
i don't know what Maz's news is (yet) either, but i'm glad, you deserve some good news hon. I am guessing (from the replies) that the idiot MCH nurse had to apologise to you for being such a twat.
Melham - what to buy - depends wot you got already.
wetbags? (nice new ones at babysoftlandings just went up)
MCN calendar (half price at weewuns i think)
nappy bag?
travel change mat?
babylegs are US, huggaluggs are Aust.
which way are you going for nb MCN? aio's, pockets, fitteds /prefolds with covers?
subscription to ABA if you want to bf
I went two weeks over moiself and cybershopping sure was something to distract me at that time. But a nappy for EVERY day overdue???? PMSL!!!! that would have been 14 for us!
Nelle, is FALGUNI still called Falguni on here? I do get muddled up when people change their usernames.
WOTBB: no idea, i went out at 6.30pm, left bilby with dh to feed, bathe and put to bed. Came home at 9.30 and i think dh has fallen asleep on the nursery floor (prolly whilst putting her to sleep). Well, he knows where the night nappies live, so i'm sure she has one of those on.
Nessa - i didn't realise your home was being sold - have you got somewhere to move to? hope you're ok.
Yay for you Gigi!! You deserve a night out. What did you see? I think nearly every mum cries when they first do something childfree. I'm sure I'll have a big sook. Euan got his first tooth the other day and I'm picturing him all grown up, moving out of home, etc, etc.
I wish I had bought a nappy for each day I went over - I would have had 12 more.
WOH(still awake)B: same as before. I think the Panadol's coming out and damn the consequences (arrgh, not panadol stains on my nice fluffy cute tooshie).
Yep Gigi, Falguni's still Falguni. Falgoony. Faloony. Right. Not sure what inspired that. Ah yes I know now, I was going to be in bed AGES ago but I've taken forever on BellyBelly waiting for things to load (okay, no more sulking about my slow internet. Ten days to go...).
Hey all the best with you TTC Ali.
Suse, tell me about your Vatanai, that will be my next buy I reckon. (Should type that small so dh doesn't see :P) Or should I ask you in the baby wearing section?
Read your news Maz. Fantastic, just brilliant. Gigi, I'd link for you but I'd be here another century trying to do that...it's in the WooHoo section of General Chatter though, not too hard to find.
Right, well I'm off to bed. Hope everyone sleeps well tonight, except Mel, who I hope goes into labour tonight. xo
ETA: Ah there, Suse gave you the link Gigi. My internet is SO SLOW!! *storms off to bed*

Does anyone mind if I answer Nelle's entirely non-nappy-related question here? No, good...
Nelle, the Vat is yummy as a warm weather carrier, light, but supportive. Not as supportive as a storch, but much thinner. It's described as the most supportive lightweight wrap. Much easier to break in than a storch. Mine's really soft and floppy and I've only had it a short time. Once my wrap MT is done, if you can't get one off the BCD loaner database to try I can loan you mine if you want to try it. I can now understand why people are into woven wraps in such a big way. Soooooo comfy and supportive.

Suse, thanks for the link, what wonderful news Mazeroo!!!
Nelle - thanks for the Falguni update. The word makes me think of an oppressed group in China, i think it's a group trying to get religious freedom in China??
Suse - do you have a microfleece liner or something to stop the panadol stains? We don't seem to get them bar a few instances (and bilby has sucked down her fair share of Panadol).
it's great that babywearing is so much fun for you, didn't work out for me, so i'm getting to live it a little (vicariously) thru you!
Gigi's MCN roundup
best price i've seen on Imse Vimse white PUL covers at newagenappies right now
the new tots bots flexitots are priced and ready to go on nurture nappies, same price as buying a fluffle or bamboozle methinks.
Gigi- yep i Have somewhere to move, sorta. My parents wont sell till everything is signed and ready to go. They have put in a offer on a house that is currently still being built should here back today. If the guy doesnt accept the offer then they will be going and signing for pretty much the exact same house to be buil themselves. so either way i will be moving into a brand new house.
Well didnt have such a bad night here, even though MJ is sick.. am thinking it maybe broncitis not croup as first diagnosed cause last night she was coughing and ende up throwing up some green flem so off to the Dr again today
good news with Annika she slept through for the first time is so so long!!! she has been waking recently screaming for bottle but about 3 nights ago i put my foot down and said no, so was two really bad nights but last night was perfect (minus the 6am wake up)
Suse- nope dont mind talk away!!
PP- umm i think Annika has a very similar rash to your DD around her mouth!!! Will take a pic and show you. maybe it is a virus!! How is your DD anyway?
Nelle- Teeth already !!!! wow Im so glad MJ doesnt seem to be a early teether, my other two already had 4 teeth by this age ith MJ, how was your night anyway?
Mel- hows things, you have gone quiet.. could mean good news
Ali- Cushie tushies arent good for me over night , Annika pees like crazy.. dont forget to wait til Shell lists the new prints!!! they look fabbo
Morning all..
Still baking here... no news on the baby front.... going to book in for massage and accupressure today - surely I can't be pregnant forever?!?!?
Gigi - I think your question was aimed at me - I have most of the stuff on the list you typed, so maybe just get some baby leg things, cos don't have any of them. Anyone recommend any that are good for Queensland?

i have another excuse to buy nappies!
