YAY marlene... its more then ihave been getting lately...

CM- Hubbies card got swipped at an ATM. cash with drawls on the visa card and same with the savings accounts. Because they werent transfered to accounts its hard to find who they have gone too... They have video fottage just shows a tall mane with hat on so they have no leads and they "dont have to compensate" were fighting but so far they have only given back $600 of our money. But hey we still have our house and car and DP has a job so were not that bad off... we'll just have to do our best to get back on track... no holiday for us this yr.

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
Eej- instant pings...quick links, edit options (scroll down), default subscription mode -->change to instant

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- 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.

[briggsy's girl]

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.

Morning Ladies. Did I trick any of you by having a not online much day yesterday?

CM - I think I have most brands in the NB stuff atm. The more NB cuddles you get the more you get to see

Mel - Yeah yeah, the 'ring test' said girl, uh-huh, I believe whatever it was said it was girl but was it really the ring test that said it? Still lines up with the dates I guessed if it is the US!!

Eej - I have instant notifications set too. My poor inbox fills so fast these days!!

Anna -

I have mobile numbers for all the Townsville girls in here, so if you all want to do a meetup and have newborn cuddles you will all get the text when Leah arrives, most welcome to meetup in my hospy room. Just dont do the BA, my sis would like that honour.

BG - She is growing nicely!!! You are doing a great job!! I certainly hope the Paed doesn't want too much to do with Leah, but she has to have proper Paed review to check for Codeine withdrawls (yay, we both get to wean of the drugs soon!!) so very much hoping that she doesnt need SCN!! Especially being this hospital!!!

I dont want to come back into this thread without saying WOLB!!! Please send labour vibes!! Nice big signal like waters breaking would be good considering I am already having the strong stuff, so decent contractions might be a bit duller than they should be!!

WOEB: Black Basix CT.

[Gigi]

GO ALI GO !

i thought you were booked for a C section Monday, does what you're saying, mean you might deliver Leah yourself, before then? or do you get to a certain point in labour, and then have a c-section? i'm ignorant, so sorry if my question sounds silly.

i'm posting three minutes after you did, you are ABSOLUTELY in my thoughts.

TERU - your reviews have been amazing, good on you. Commiserations on you having to miss out on chocolate! the things we do for our bubs heh?

BG - glad you're enjoying your New Adventures With Fluff courtesy of the most gorgeous little "pooping" machine, to try them out on. I trot out the "better than spending $4,000 on sposies" card, when people baulk at the unit price of mcn. Longterm not short term thinking is needed, to get it into perspective.

and that you could wash a mcn 200 times, with the amount of water it takes to produce ONE sposie, for the "wasting water" naysayers.

Jess - what a nightmare! re VISA card being used fraudently.

wotbb: imse vimse trainers at childcare. Her "knickers with insurance" got tested out yesterday at the library. combination of her being distracted, naughty (i will not answer mummy when asked is it wee wee time?) and me taking too long to find nearest loo for bilby. Good not to have to clean up a puddle though, glad we have the trainers.

bonito baby has a sale on envirosax for anyone interested. My state has just banned plastic bags at supermarkets, so very relevant here especially. (but i have been using them for last two years anyhoo). i don't like the quality of the envirosilks, but i love the envirosax. WOuld be nice if they made some PURPLE ones though LOL.

Marlene - i didn't realise fluffybubs MADE osfm, cool, they are a very well made brand, i've seen teh inserts for the Mediums and Larges (night versions), great quick dry design. (and they are NOT side snappers). I would love to know how you scored FIVE!! well done petal!

[Arimeh]

Mel - Yeah yeah, the 'ring test' said girl, uh-huh, I believe whatever it was said it was girl but was it really the ring test that said it? Still lines up with the dates I guessed if it is the US!!

Hate to disappoint a heavily pregnant lady, but it wasn't the US. We haven't had that yet, and we aren't finding out the sex either. So the ring test is all we have to go on until he/she pops out!

[tk1999]

mmm ok so Mel is greater than 10 weeks (because she has a pg avvy) and less than 20-21 weeks as that is the 'cut-off' for the morphology scan (well it is the cut off at the place I had mine done)

lol all these little hints you give out!

Nappy related - Ali, thanks for advice re pre-folds and flats - am going that part of stash this weekend and take out some - I know I could never have too many but I suppose I could spare a few

PMSL

I think the cut off is 22 weeks up here on the coast - I'm sure I had the one done for Miss M around 22 weeks because I couldn't get in any earlier.

But yes, I'm not further than 22 weeks, and I'm over 10 weeks... so you have around a 3 month window there to guess from... LOL

[Je$$_84]

Quick q... looking for a night nappy option for a friends DS. HE is 13 kgs and is a HUGE wetter..

[SamiH]

Well, my official Guesstimate is about 31/10/09 - but you go over so the first week in Nov, but if you are not thinking Vbac and doing a planned C-sec, last week of October -

Well, my CT coutures are still leaking after an hour - I have tried snapping them every which way. Do I put them away for a few months - or sell them now and get some more I know fit well?

Oh, by the way - I did buy two more D'lish anyway in midnight and peppermint - one snap in one sewn in - should hehehehehe dont tell DH cos he thinks I have finished until Zander grows up a size

WOZB - Cornflower Ticklefish

[alioops]

Considering I dont plan on being online again before Leah arrives I am going to pop a quick link to an Important Announcement

Sami - Email us babe. Ness might have some hints that I havent thought of.

Mel - I know I have buckleys of getting the truth from you this time, so I will continue to believe my riddling until bubba proves otherwise

WOEB: CTBD with MAL 2yo cover.

[Arimeh]

Up to you if you sell them or not honey. I've always sold stuff that doesn't work for us (or find a way to fix it!)
Maybe he's turned into a heavy wetter? I know when DS was getting bigger, his pees turned to mega pees, then went back to normal, and now is back at the mega pees stage

[Maruschke]

I think X is a heavy wetter (at 4 weeks!). She leaked through a BBH bamboo fitted with wool soaker cover in 3 hours. The BBH was used too, so was at max absorbancy.

WOXB - BBH Magicall (in medium, can you believe that!!!)

Candice, I still can't believe Miss X fits into the medium magicalls! She doesn't even look like she could!!!! she's tiny!!!!
I'm not too happy with my BBH fitteds I find Miss A leaks thru hers very quickly also and they are soaking wet and start smelling im not a fan of the fitteds like i thought I would be.....
