    Hi everyone!!

    Sorry no time for personl but had to share some stuff

    well i Had Mj needles yesterday and of course they weighed her... and i got the usual she is underweight has only gained 120 gr in 16 days

    BUT She thought i was fantastic she was still breastfed exclusively and not one mention of solids or formula!!! Said she was obviously getting what she needed and she must just be a small baby!!

    I love this RN!!!!

    Plus added bonus she has asked me to make a small cloth nappy info kit too for her to keep in her room!!! She said she is sick of hearing about mums coming in saying they cant afford sposies when they could just use cloth!!!!

    So what i am asking who knows where i can get a cloth vs Sposie broucher? to print

    Here comes spring! Finally got some previews up, not as many as I would ike, I think I forget when I plan in my head that I also have 3 kids to manage LOL. Not as much sewing got done as I hoped! Maybe tomorrow LOL.

    B thats great, GiGi would be able to point you in the right direction of some great info I bet!

    hmmmmm what else??? Isla's night wee's stink again ATM. Such a yuk smell to wake up too. Was very tempted to buy sposies the other day for night use. But I didn't. I find the smell is contained if I use PUL covers. Not that great a thing to do but when I roll over at night & the covers lift & let the smell out its so gross!

    Two kids is hard Mel, I've no idea how people with more manage...hang in there, you haven't even hit 6 weeks with Mehkelti yet, the fog will lift at some stage...

    (Christy, it's pinafore apparently, I wonder why people say 'pinni' then!)

    Both my kids are in sposies, BUT I'm up to date with the washing!! Can you believe it!! The laundry is EMPTY!!

    ali - that's great you're moving up this way! DH & I go to Townsville often throughout the year.

    I'm finding the itti bittis a little tight on Emily at the moment. They're usually my favourite nappy for her, but she has so many fat rolls that it's not fitting good enough. And DH's response to that was, 'oh great, more money to spend on nappies' haha! But Nina is doing really well with tt, and has an empty nappy each morning, so I'm thinking she won't be in nappies much longer.

    Great news on the TT there Jodi! OMG Ali, that's brill news!!!! Good luck with the packing!

    Us - got my GK wetbags from the post office this morning, they are gorgeous. I now have 4 wetbags, so that should rotate nicely, with daycare & all.

    DH isn't too happy with the idea of the cleaning lady, he said "do a roster" I told him I did, but couldn't stick to it cause he won't be tidy and tidying takes more time than cleaning.

    Anyhows, Pip's down for a nap, BBB with imsevimse cover.

    HI girls!

    Mel - big hugs honey!. Try to get some fresh air and sunshine I will be able to whinge with you in about 8 weeks! (with 2 under 16 months).... mmmm
    As for the detergent. I bit the bullet and have ordered Soapnuts to try with my nappies in the wash. Will let you know how they go. HOping to reduce the buildup of chemical in them by using them.

    Well one of my IB seems small.. anyone had problems with shrinkage? Perhaps it is just because it is a second. I wonder what the extra large will be like. I cant wait until summer when i can have DD in them without pants... lol show them off.

    I have finished my second shorties and really happy with how it has gone. So i have enough now i think to last DD until toliet training (1 bbh wool, 2 x shorties, 1 x longies). Also Just got some circular needles and will attempt some smaller shorties for 6-12month stage with #2!

    Ali - woohoo welcome to Townsville!!! you'll get to meet so many clothies up here! It's really quite contagious. TNB runs articles in the local paper quite often which raises awareness and interest so we have lots of fellow cloth bums to mingle with esp in summer. Let me know when your coming and we can catch up! Oh do you think you'll be here before reusable nappyweek?

    Actually bought a box of disposables today and didn't know what size to get - I'm sure I looked an absolute fool in the baby isle with my 8th old trying to work out what nappy to buy.

    My Maz covers have been a godsend in hiding my disposable shame that chocolate nappy looked awesome today - woohoo loving the chocolae brown and pink trend at the moment.

    Mel - hang in ther you will find your groove soon, remember to take it easy and enjoy this beautiful squishy newborn time

    Beatrix there is a published leaflet you can print at modern cloth dot org it's really good. Woohoo for the weight gain and good on you for sticking with the BF!!!!

    To everyone with a messy house THANK YOU! It is so nice to hear other peoples places aren't the spotless playgrounds we see in mags and ads. My DH has overinflated ideas of what our house should look like - however he doesn't lift a finger to help :-)

    Gotta run, Ari is very unsettled, drugs STILL not working!!! at my wits end
