Happy 9 months old today little Emily.

Charmlea
longies too big is not as bad as it sounds.

a hand sewn hem solves the length and means you might get TWO winters out of that pair, instead of ONE.

the waist is adjustable with the drawstring inside the waist on LJ

the hips being a bit too big means you can use them over night nappies as well as day nappies.

i have same problem, need new dh to make my nb dreams come true. Nb fluff is so gorgy!

Could Jack be having the "acidic teething poos"? bilby had those, the SECOND the poo comes out, they get what looks like a BURN mark on their buttocks, it's really painful for them, as in a SCREAMING come help me quick cry. Great the moo goo helped - which one do you use for nappy rash? i have a few moo goo moisturisers and a soothing cream too.

Brigsy's girl - lovely to hear all about darling little Emerald, enjoy those nb cuddles, i know you will. You don't take anything for granted, when you've had to wait that long and try so hard, to meet your little girl.

Safe travels and non-traumatic suitcase packing, to those of you about to hop on planes.

Nana must be somewhere on the other side of the world by now.

Teru - did the moogoo excma cream help Monsta?

how exciting to hear all about the woollies you have got coming, hope you post pics of MOnsta modelling them!

who asked about narrow crotch fitteds? was that you Charmlea?
did you know apart from Swaddlebee FITTEDS, and Swaddlebee POCKETS, there is ALSO a Swaddlebee FITTED POCKET. the inner and outer are both organic velour, and you put a sb insert inside (like you do with a pocket), the diff being you then put on a waterproof cover over the top. Very very absorbent. and narrow crotched.

itti bitti boos too.

and daisy doodles - yowsa, if only i could have had a stash of those! all made out of bamboo velour (like cute tooshies) except SIZED. nice quick drier too.

Hailey - nb stash building is fun too - very different from mcning an older child (to me). it made a huge diff to me, to have NB sized stuff. whilst pregnant, i could not bring myself to buy nb sized stuff, thinking "what a waste of money when they grow so fast".

But one week of putting my nb (3.79kg) in smalls, showed me how vital FIT was, to the success (pootainment) of mcn. So i changed my tune, did a 180, in the space of one week (changing my entire clothing many times per day, scrubbing couches, baby seats you name it, it got pooped on.) As soon as i got nb sized stuff, pootainment happened. big sigh of relief from me!
