Jodi / rhyb - did you get my last PM? I suggested my place at 11:00 on Thursday. Lemme know if you didn't get it and I'll resend... (it's showing as sent from my sent box, so not sure what happened there...)
WOHB: GK (zebra minky) and a very large bump on the head from falling off the couch.
Kazbah - forcefeeding baked beans? you poor thing, you must be desperate to do that. the things you end up doing, as a mum! We had one day of "rabbit pellets" and that scared me silly.
Suse - ouchies to Euan, i've just bought some arnica cream for the bumps on the head situation, yet to find out if it works or not.
alioops - is emma rashing to synthetic inners now? send me your addy
Gigi -I have emailed you hun. I am sick of her reacting to anything!! I will put her in the 2 bamboo fitteds we have tomorrow with covers and no liners (bamboo velour) and see if they help. She is all blitsery again
Well I had better get off the comp soon and go to bed. I am still trying to catch up on sleep considering lately I have been woken by loud rain a few times.
Gigi - arnica is supposed to be really good at reducing bruising and mild swellings/sprains. I haven't used it myself but know a few people who swear by it. Euan is fine - he cried for five minutes then climbed straight back up and tried to leap head first off the couch again. He's such a boy . Yesterday he belted his head on so many things it was ridiculous, it was one of those days. His favourite trick at the moment is running along the couch, and climbing up the back of it, so we have the ambulance on standby. He's just gone down to sleep now () and I'm sitting back with a little drinky. Mmmm.
Rhyb - of course you and Aiden are still welcome on Thursday.
Ali - did you have a huge storm yesterday? We lost our power (we being the city of Cairns) for about an hour because lightning hit the conduit transmitters a bit further up from Townsville (yes, we get our power from Townsville nearly 300km away ) - just wondered if you got the storm?
WOHB: Whizz Kidz Nights & wool soaker and bugger all else. It's a hot one tonight.
Sure did Suse. The rain was louder than the thunder and lightning. My backyard is STILL muddy!! We had no power for a couple of hours but some of the major intersections had police directing traffic for up to 8 hours. 1 of DH's colleagues got flooded in, he couldnt get out of his housing estate because of flash flooding. One of the things I like about being part way up a mountain, the only way out is to go downhill so when my driveway is still dry the main road could be flooded!! I got woken by the rain at about 5am. Thankfully the girls slept through it!! And thank Goodness I had nothing on the line!!
nelle - I've tried that. Because the nappies go in the nappy bucket, she won't use anything else. Problem is, they're not even wet, they're dry. And by the time I've realised, they smell from being in the same bucket as nappies, so I need to get new ones. I'm hoping it's just a phase she'll grow out of soonish. She even puts her pyjama pants in there each morning! lol
Maz - what is it about KFC? I very rarely eat it and occasionally crave it (like about once a year), but then feel incredibly ill afterwards. You'd think I'd learn LOL
ah you jinxed me suse..Ive been spewing and ****ting like no other all morning from 4am. Jed threw the rest of the KFC out....no more for me ever again.... even thinking aobu tit makes me what ot chuck again
Ali - Im sorry babe....i did miss it. Yes both kids have issues with their skin...Ive learnt not to put ANY washing powder in at all when I wash the nappies and im using bamboo velour liners. I'll send some up to you.
Kat - Im such a dumb butt atm..its driving me insane
NOw dont you girls dare laugh but im contemplating getting a prefold and putting it in my undies incase I dont make it to the loo on time...yes its bad.......pooh on tap
WOMB - WC night nappy and skull and bones Maz-a-licious cover
better than messing up your undies and having to wash them in the shower maz - not that I'm speaking from experience or anything
Not much going on here.. I'm lurking but never find the time to post (ATM i am typing with one hand because I have a toddler wanting cuddles with the other arm).
Actually he smells a little funky. Better go on poo patrol.
Thanks everyone, esp Gigi (omg how long did writing all that take you!?), for your suggestions and advice!
I still think cloth-ing is the way to go BUT Im not sure about clothing the new bub from birth From memory they poop and wee like theres no tomorrow and the thought of all those cloth nappies to be washed scares the crap outta me. Is it really that much or am I just remembering an overexaggerated image from lack of sleep and delirium in the newborn stage
Er Maz I love KFC but have the same prob with my bot-bot afterwards so we avoid it too! But score on the free KFC!
Uuuum I had another question, work brain work, oh right snap in inserts? I guess I could do that, snap em in once everything is dry and then they are ready to go on their bums. Im not a huge fan of stuffing pockets and I dont think Dh would remember to stuff em on a regular basis and Id end up with wee everywhere haha
I'd do that too Maz!!! if you can't make it to the loo well you just can't make it....
I will bloody well need prefolds for pads when AF returns i flood out a super tampon and a pad within an hour....
Bloody hell with nappies!!! this kid is growing too fast!! he was in a NB mummy'n'me AIO and i reckon it is too small...it fit well but he still managed to leak!!!! all over my bed..where he was asleep
WOJB ~ FJ NB Jack / Maz minkee cover (we shall see if he leaks out of these NB size nappies....
Another ? or two (sorry your all going to be mighty sick of me soon) -
Whats the difference between night nappies and 'day' nappies? My boys always wake up with sposies choc full of wee so if I used cloth for nighttimes I would need something mega absorbent or easily boosted so they dont wet through.
Can you interchange inserts? I have some of the BBH inserts etc for my bumG pockets, will I have to turf them and start again or could I use them with whatever I buy, provided they are pockets?
As for drying nappies, are any of them mega hard to get dry? Obviously not a total issue up here as its super hot and things dry within an hour of being on the line (we own a dryer just in case though) but it would be a factor in what I end up buying.
Also, is it hard to resell MCNs? Because Gage is our last bub so if I MCN him from birth (and my bubs grow fast!) and buy newborn size nappies then I'll be lucky to get maybe 8wks of use out of them before they are relegated to the cupboard forever. Id have to resell them to make it worth my while. Unless there is a nappy that fits newborns to say 8kgs so I wouldnt have to change sizes?
