Woo new thread.

Hey for all of you that continuously dream of nappies (ie - me!) I had the most awful dream last night - lost the baby, and they couldn't tell me what sex it was cos it was too early to tell

I think I'd rather dream of nappies. Bring back the fluff dreams I say!

[*charmalea*]

awww mel ... i had those dreams all the time when pg .. once i had dream where they told me they didnt know if it was a boy or a girl , coz it had both bits

[SamiH]

Aww Mel they are awful aren't they - I used to dream alot with Zander that something terrible happened to my other kids - woke up vewy sad sometimes

WOZB (just to make it nappy related LOL) - Red D'lish ...

[alioops]

Mel - Considering the Avvy rules with bellies and the fact you have had a belly in your av for a while now you know that you are too far for them to not be able to tell if the worst did happen - Not that it is, but dreams sometimes have the most bizzare things happen.

Lea - I made space as soon as I got home yesterday. There is a message in the messages section letting you know I made space

Nappies are mostly clean!! The last load needs to be hung out, DH is waiting till either nap time or Mum gets back from the chemist and supermarket (surprised they are open!!) with my drugs and some LF milk for Em.

My last 2 BumG's are about to die. I think they have 1 more wear in the elastic but they are very stretched. I am rather unimpressed with the quality of the elastic, especially considering the price so I dont think I will be getting any more of them.

WOEB: Baby Kanga with Bum G booster

Poor mel - my weirdest baby dream was giving birth through my ankle... don't know where that came from!

But found some bamboo cotton fleece fabric online so I'm getting that to make my own boosters. Since I'm getting into sewing so much I thought it wouldn't hurt to make my own...

Alioops - just a quick question, are you going to use cloth in hospital? I'm trying to decide if I take them in or just use sposies in there. (DH would be doing the washing and I don't think he is too keen about doing the nappies! - part of our compromise...)

[Cheeky_Monkey]

Aww Mel I feel for you hun, those dreams are horrible. When are you going to tell us all how far along you are?

Ali - I see your Mum has arrived I was going to offer my help until she got here, she must have slipped in un-noticed or I missed a post lol

DS's cat is missing She's been gone for two whole days and nights now and he keeps asking for her. Our neighbours cat was poisoned a few weeks ago and now I'm fretting that the same has happened to our poor Ruby Cat. :'(

WOPB: Undies. He has been really good insisting on using the toilet yesterday and today. Also insists on wearing his willy hanging over the top of the undies too lol

Hi Girls

To those of you who have been to the Sydney Baby expo already.... what specials did Itti Bitti have for buying 6 snap-in-one D'lish's??? Is it the same deal as per their website? buy 6 for $165.00 with free postage??
Reason I ask, is that the brissy expo is very soon and i am wondering if it will be even cheaper at the expo or the same deals??? If so, i may aswell just order them on their website if its the same deal iykwim??

TIA

HGL- thats really bad abt ur DH's card hope something works out
Arimeh- do u have a pref of B/G? u have one each anyways hehe

back from the paed today. DS is allergic to egg (we knew already but the test confirmed) and cow's milk so no chocolate or icecream for me boohoo grr at the paed, she said u shouldnt have elastic on him (he was wearing a SB pocket) or necklace (he was wearing amber). i dont care, they're not where his eczema is so he's keeping them on!

CM- ive found most OSFM didnt fit DS until he was 2mth old. the BG was one of the 1st ones he could fit in followed by Haute. I dont like the HH as the velcro is shonky (comes undone in the machine) and as pointed out the microfleece sticks out the end. the Haute has the best velcro of the lot (i prefer the snap ones than the velcro ones). the velcro on BG is tabbed back onto suedecloth so its a bit fiddly to undo with one hand. u can adjust the thigh on Bumware. as mentioned, GK not the greatest to use on NB as u'll be putting velcro on the suedecloth, but then again NB are small enough so the tabs would cross over?? for the 1st month or so, we used a combination of muslin flats with cover and sposies (we were given heaps when DS was born)

can u tell ive been bored lately

[Arimeh]

Arimeh- do u have a pref of B/G? u have one each anyways hehe

Both have their pro's and con's - so we are happy to just get what we are given

I do like the middle names I have selected for my girl - but I loooooove the boys first name.

hi all - just popping in to say we had Emerald at the paed today - and he'd NEVER seen an MCN! what the??? he was very sweet, asking questions about what they cost, how they work etc - all the while cleaning up from the VERY dirty nappy our girl had just filled for him! he was rather impressed with the widdlewun she was wearing - but balked at the cost! don't think he let it sink in how often they can be reused...

Bubba is now back to within 80g of her birth weight, so no more paed appts! wooo hoooo! am so happy!

ummm, nappy related - well, nb monkey doodlez and widdlewuns apparently get the Emmy Rose seal of approval - MD was filled within a few minutes of being put on after her bath - hmmmm. we did have a small leak, but i think that was more cos the booster wasn't sitting quite straight and we had a small leg gape. the WW managed to contain everything nicely.

WOEB - she's back in a flat and cover - simple for mummy and daddy for night times at the moment... but only short term - we're slowly testing the MCN's to see what works and what doesnt - and when we're all sorted, we might have minimal time in flats unless mummy has been slack on the washing front!

[~Saram~]

BG - oh don't you just love showing off to those people who have never seen them! Good to hear they are holding up well on your little girl!!!

Cheeky monkey - you are more then welcome to check out our ergo, home made HAB and peanut shell if you want to try them first. Also there is a baby expo happening in T'ville in Sept which will hopefully have a few nappy sellers at it for your newborn nappy hunt! We used BumG - great with little insert, Hautes - smallest min 2.5kg, baby Kanga - liked this one as bub had chunky thighs. My SIL used the abbygro with newborn and loved it, she also liked the Bumware petits (8kg) and swaddlebess (med from 5kg) but these wre both sized.
