Mel you've still got ages up your sleeve before you have to worry about being induced. I know it will be there in the back of your mind though. I went 8 days over (almost 9 cos he was born just after 11pm) and I was beginning to worry.
I've photographed 2 births that were inductions at 14 past EDD and all they needed was the waters broken so make sure you demand they give you time to see if it will happen before they start with gels or drip.
PP is she a tummy sleeper? C was and i had to boost up to his belly button and also upsize the covers to large.
I'm rooly lazy ATM and i throw the nappy into the trough for scraping later so my laundry can be a bit whiffy. Mind you it really smells like roses now that the cat has ben banished to outside for his buisness. He's not a kitten anymore and cleaning the litter tray was making me ill.
My internet seems to have mysteriously sped up...I'm not complaining, and if it's an Optus error, then SHHH don't tell them! :P
Ohhh Maz, we'll help you shop!! What nappy haven't you tried that you always wanted to? Do you need some more longies? Or...could you go for a wander on Etsy...that's dangerous I know...
Never mind about your DH PP. Even sposies stink, I hate the way they make the bin smell! Maybe just buy your dh some air freshener to spray about if he's dealing with the washing. (Or a gas mask, if your bub is teething.) I know BumGenius sell a deodoriser of sorts to kill the bacteria that create the bad smell, but I never found out if it works. Does anyone know?
PP, what Sammi said about tummy sleepers. Was there pants over the cover? I find if we put pants over a wool cover the clothes get damp...you don't think the singlet accidentally got tucked underneath the cover?
Mel (Gudi). You must be so frustrated but I bet you're doing awesomely. Are you going to get any more acupuncture done?
I went to Spotlight yesterday! Got some variagated thread for overlocking, and a doona cover for Riv, he's too long for his cot blankets now, so he got a doona. He still sleeps next to his door on the floor, he looks under the door at feet going past until he falls asleep. I tried to sneak in last night to pop him back in his bed but I couldn't open the door!
Is anyone tempted just to buy a helmet for their climbing toddlers and then just leave them to their own devices? I can't count how many times I've hauled Riv off the dining table, I just pulled him off the entertainment unit...he climbs them saying 'uh ohhh'. Aieeeeeee *screeches like banshee* Ah and while I wrote that last sentence he climbed onto the table again.
nelle i found sophie on the table last week!!scary stuff!!
MAZ no bucket this time!! i did buy some sick bags like they use in hospital but havnet used them yet!! chucked the other night!
mmmm nappy buying what do you think you need?
Maz- i almost fell of my louge when i read you didnt know what a LS was rofl!! plus you always need more nappies (well i do anyway)
Nelle- how cute is Riv!!! sleeping on the floor (yay on th einternet speedy)
Gud- looking forward the the email!!
so sorry to everyone i missing all your replies are a page over!!!!!
did anyone brave the toy sale?? I just went and got everything i wanted, chucked it all on the store card cause its interest free, and would you believe i didnt buy anything that is for me to give to my kids!! I got my grandmas presents for the girls and i also got exH stuff cause when i got there and realised there was only 3 of the thing that teleah really really wanted i had to get it so she didnt miss out
FJ- fluffy arrive cept for its at the post office and i cant pic it up til after 5!!! i miss the mail man when i was doing the kindy run grrrrr
soooo.. how many pairs of these leg things will I need for two kids, and it being Qld?
Oh and I got fluffy mail - three packages apparently - don't know who they are from though, maybe a fairy godmother who is going to come and break my waters or something for me...
Nelle - I don't know if I will go for a repeat acupuncture session. Seems a little harsh to pay all that money (which could theoretically pay for two nappies you know) if it isn't going to work...
Lol Jols, I can just see Sammi now 'erm...I'm just popping out for a minute, watch the kids will you' - and sneaking down to the corner of her street for a clandestine meeting with her postie. :P
Yeah Mel, that makes sense. I've got a friend whose waters broke at the end of one acupuncture session where the acupuncturist did something with her pressure points, but I suppose as with everything, different people respond differently. You're making us so proud hon, you're doing everything you can to get your VBAC, even if the not-so-patiently waiting sucks.
I'm pleased to say that Riv is now in bed having a nap! This is after he climbed on every climbable surface, pulled everything out of my bedroom drawers (including a packet of bobby pins, now distributed evenly over the carpet!) and headbutted me accidentally where I thought I'd broken my nose for a second or two. Ahhhhhh...I might change Si's nappy, give him a quick feed, and then try and shower in peace...
thanks girls for your advice.
I didnt have the singlet tucked into the cover as the cover just reaches the top of the nappy... does that mean i need a bigger wool cover?
I bought another large BBwool online... but like you know (preloved) it was very shrunk.. so it retrospect it is probably a medium.
She does wear pants over the top as well.
I might try trifolding the long insert at the front instead of bifolding... hoping that will work
I bought a second nappy bucket today at target... i knw crazy woman.. there were so many people that i was very flustered and didnt buy any toys. Just a couple of dummies for #2 and a nappy bucket.
oh well
And... in kmart.. they have those little 24 peg hanger things (you know the ones you clip your smalls onto to hang on rainy days)... i thought they would be good for my liners/inserts etc... so it was $16.99 and it scaned for $5 so i went back and got a 2nd one !lol thought i would let you know in case anyone else is looking to buy them because of this crap weather
My BBB and BBH are all in the dryer.. was going to leave them inside ont he airer but will take days and surely that isnt good for them
It was at capalaba Mel. But i would say they will probably be like that.
They only had 1 type - a blue one and it didnt show as discounted... that was the price that came up! :P
I have just ordered 12 snappis on ebay for $8.50. so spiky mail for me! lol
Just one more pair of longies Nelle - for Vy....hmmm yummy!!!!!
didnt get my LS was on a mission to get Jed a tie and Nikolaus a pair of pants - and went to the target sale...put 2 DS lites on layby for the boys for chirstmas and bought singstar for me heheheh I mean them.
Still no tax cheque hopefully It will arrive tomorrow, monday or tuesday. unless the mail that was in the letter box was in there from yesterday and we just missed it...... I can hope!
Well the witches brew scent is growing on me but I doubt I will buy it again. DH likes it anyway. I guess I could follow the instruction someone has posted about how they made their own.... and maybe put some of my perfume in it, mmmmm!
I had to buy more sposies today I dont think any night nappies I buy in the next week will arrive in time for me not to keep going with the overnight sposies for a few more weeks.
