Gees you lot are letting yourselves down Bit quiet in here ROFL!
Thanks for all of your congrats Miss Ruby is napping ATM so I'm catching up a bit.
The hospital had hardly any cloth at all but I managed to pester the midwives enough and get some.
Managed to use mostly all cloth besides the odd sposie when Ruby was looked after by a midwife when I had some problems standing up.
They were all really positive about them and said it was easier to check bubs were getting enough from their feeds but it's a cost issue for the hospital and as it's cheaper for them to do sposies then that's what everyone gets. Luckily I had enough of Maz's covers as they didn't have any snibs at all either!
Welcome back Sammi! Ruby's so gorgeous! more pics please... good on you for pestering the midwives at the hospital.
maz - luv ya work! thanks so much for the extra goodies too. That's so sweet! wish you were coming on Sunday so I could thank you in person.
We had six-month vaccinations today. Poor DS is so not happy now. Everything's been all over the shop this week with no sleep and screaming at ridiculous hours of the night and I have some weird sore throat thing that's making me sound like Sybil Fawlty... but fluffy mail makes it all ok!
Just a real quicky to let you all know I'm still out there... wow I am knackered. Birthday parties sure take it out of a person...
Just wanted to say WELCOME HOME SAM!!! Ruby is just exquisitely lovely, and I'm sure you'll get used to the girly bits soon. I still get a surprise when I see girl babies getting changed - like, wow, they don't have a penis (well duh...).
Oh, Euan's horrendously red butt cleared up for his birthday, so he spent the day in cloth. Yay. As his party was sort of jungle-ish (he had the cutest little shorts and singlet with elephants on them), so he also wore cheetah print and zebra print minky. And yep, the gayest baby in the village comments came out just once or twice.
I think that the teething necklace is working though, because although he's been cranky and clingy, he's been sleeping heaps better and we've only had to give him teething gel twice since he's been wearing it (and no panadol or nurafen).
And bonus, he's fine with moo-goo. I've been slathering him in it for days now and he's got a yummy soft milk and honey butt. Mmmm.
I promise I will come back and say hi to everyone personally soon-ish - E has his 12 month vaccinations tomorrow so he may be sleepy baby (here's hoping), or he may be grumpy clingy baby. Could go either way really.

DId the gayest baby in the village go Raaaaaaaaah (like a tiger) at the people who made the comments LOL? i bet he looked wonderful and they were all just JEALOUS!
yep, birthday parties are EXHAUSTING to organise, prep, carry out, clean up after etc - i really felt it the week afterwards - and ours was so little in comparision to what other people do.
glad you survived Suse!! are the rellies still with you? or gone home? Do they stay with you or in local tourist accommodation?
T - good on you for handsewing wipes, i did a little of that when nesting, no access to machine at that stage, it felt good to be doing SOMETHING for the baby.
Kazbah - i'm loving your av with the chookerdoo in it.
Sammi - great to have you back, just great to have you back. Hope you are on the mend hon.
wotbb: same old same old, wotevah night combo dh put on bilby. If i leave and it's then always ME putting on her night nappy, you'll never know, cos i doubt i'll have a computer if on my own, all this computery stuff belongs to dh. i leave him, i leave cyberspace too. i think i would miss you girls more than i would miss him. (and i'm not joking - you girls have been more honest, supportive and trustworthy than he has been to me).
Bit quiet in here ROFL!
