Cloth Nappies # 178

[Freya]

Aw man, my bling is almost too small for Chubbs McGee He wore it for the first time yesterday (I forgot all about it oops) but this week all the cloth gets packed and he'll be in sposie for the next month or two ( ) so by the time he can wear it again itll be too small.

god I miss all the fun...what happened CM?

the cup cake auriel went for something like $109 on B4B and the new one went for over $70. Lesley has new ones up and VHC ones on random stockings

We have changed over to auriels and side snappers...I have finally ordered the GF nappy I am HANGING to get it....rainbow colouring. Also have bought an eco wool pocket and im so happy to hear that their good on Jack Kat . Have 2 more auriels coming...making it *gulp* 11 that we have. Have noticed a huge difference in Mateauz standing and walking since we swapped him over to side snappers...due to the higher rise in them that is supporting his hip.

Gotta make me some boosters for this eco today some time

hope everyone is HAPPY

WOMB - WC still and running strips cover

sounds like things have been a bit nasty for you CM! people just seem to think social niceties don't exist on forums - how rude!

not a lot happening here nappy wise except that i have to wash a heap this morning! went to MCHN yesterday then to mum's for lunch, and E went to sleep so instead of getting home about 3 and throwing all the washing on (we were running late or i'd have done it before we left) we got home at nearly 7 and she wasn't being little miss cooperative so will put it on soon

ummm - ooh, we got the CT wetbags - love them! so big and soft!

E has now put on enough chubbiness to fit WW's properly and is almost big enough for small itti's to fit. she gained just under half a kilo in a fortnight - yay my little piglet! mum changed her nappy for first time yesterday and put a WW on her - she was a little freaked about getting it all ok, and apart from having a teeny bit of booster out the back (so when she soaked it, her clothes got wet too - but i didn't see it either so i'll share the blame) she did really well - and has declared MCN's are "way easier than i thought they'd be" - go mum!

WOEB - a flat and maz cover of some sort. gonna have to dig out the 000 sleepsuits - the 0000's are getting a bit too firm when she has chunky cloth butt

[Arimeh]

Morning morning!!
Got to go to the IL's this morning

I would rather stay home and clean my pigsty of a house and have DH and the kids go there so I can clean in peace.. but nooooooooooo.. since it was my birthday recently I have to go and be the dutiful DIL and accept my birthday card Really I would prefer they didn't bother!!! lol

*Sigh*

Best be off.

WOAB: umm BBB & maz cover
WOMB: GF

[Cheeky_Monkey]

Ah I'm a big girl, I can handle it
A little social ettiquette wouldn't go astray sometimes.

I'm loving all the Michael Jackson music playing on tv and radio yesterday and today. I just wish someting so tragic didn't have to happen for his music to be played more.

BG - Glad little E is putting on weight, yay you get to use more mcn soon!!

Maz - love your new ticker of Vy. "our one and only princess - there could only be one" I bet you couldn't handle more than one with her "princess attitude" some days lol She's so gorgeous, love that photo!

Anna - this is going to be one very sad week, packing away the cloth. I don't envy you. But you know what, you're going to have one MASSIVE fluffymail day when you open it all back up again!!

WOPB: racing car undies


ETA: Have tons of fun Arimeh - YAY for inlaws

So they asked you to come and collect your card? Are they too lazy to drive to you or to post it? I have learned my lesson on that one!!

Leah is only part time cloth until her thighs get some fat on them. We have major leg gape issues in most of her nappies, and she does 2 big ones per day atm. Considering we don't have many 00000 clothes I need to keep her as leak free as possible. Mum bought a pack of sposies which should hopefully last until the size small and osfa nappies dont have gaps.

Anna and CM - Thursday??

[leckert]

Hiya ladies,

I learnt yesterday - DO NOT put bamboo boosters in the washing machine with darker minky MCNs unless one sort is in the lingerie bags that I was using to check that the velcro stuff didn't come loose in the wash. I now have lots of white fluff bits all over the dark minky fabrics of my darker MCNs. It's only the first pre-wash for them both so will do a separate pre-wash later today to try and remove the lint look I didn't notice the same effect on the lighter coloured fabrics so I didn't realise that they would fluff up as much. Mind you I'm still getting used to a new washing machine, I managed to convince DH that we needed to upgrade from a 4.0kg to a 7.0kg machine that wouldn't leave lint all over clothes (opps). At least none of the other clothes have been linted since I started with the new machine.

[Cheeky_Monkey]

leckert - I never had that problem with mine. What sort of nappies are they? To be honest I never had lint problems with any of my nappies. Wonder if it's only select brands?

Ali - Do you have prefolds and covers or just small/newborn mcn?
Unfortunately I can't do Thursday. I can't really do anything for a while now My mum arrives on Tuesday and goes in for major surgery which will leave me as her primary carer for a few weeks in addition to DS. The Dr's said 6-8 weeks and my wedding is 8 weeks away - unfortunately that's the hand we've been dealt.

WOPB: Nothing. Lying down nakie watching "open season"

[maz]

BG babe I cant believe E is 4 weeks already NOOOOOOOO......would love to see pic of her chub...oh oh and got somethign in the mail...must PM you

mel - WTF???? you have to go and collect your card...WTF WTF!!!! make sure the kids do a big nasty poo while your there and stink the house out!!! *maz shaking head in disbelief*

CM - yes one princess is more then enough in this house im affraid..this morning she was saying..mummy your a biartch youra biartch and yes it was said in the right contents..I wouldnt let her do something and she said it, then again 30 mins later when I asked her to do something....ah well atealst I know she wont get picked on

Anna - moving already...crickies thats come quick..gotta ask are you excited? its gonna be a big new adventure for you hon.. keep staying positive

Oh Ali - Im a little teary remembering Mateauz in size 00000.....I miss it so much now he's 14kg...god Vy is only 11.3kg. How you goning anyway babe? how's the pelvis?

Liz - pop- them in the dryer on either cool or medium to get the lint of hon....I have the same issues still cause I just cant think at the best of times

im finding someone is outleaking his daytime sleep nappy and have been considering getting our old bamboo fitteds out for them...we still have a straight 3 hour nap here (wooo hoooo) and im getting sick and tired of having to strip the bed and his clothing every day

WOMB - turtle auriel (which im hoping will hold up)

[leckert]

CM - 2 x Cushie Tushies Couture (with black fabric on the inside) and my Maz cover (again with black fabric on inside) mixed with Green Kids Bamboo boosters. None had been pre-washed and I figured it wouldn't matter if the boosters got a little dye on them to start with - eventually would come out. Will check if the lint-like stuff comes off after I do a couple of clothes washes before putting them thru the machine again - separately this time

ETA -Maz - I don't have a dryer and not intending to waste $1 on the dryers at the Laundromat. BTW can your breast pads go in the dryer to finish drying if needed (might wast money on doing that later if I'm desperate after bubs appears)

[maz]

Sure can babe

have you got a lint brush to get the lint off at all?

[alioops]

CM - The only ones containg the pooplosions are prefolds and NB MAL covers. I have a few AIOs that dont have full leg seal, and lots of OSFM that she is too skinny for. Real little chicken legs on her! Bummer about Thursday. Might have to wait till after you get back from your honeymoon.

Maz - Great guns hun!! Still using a pillow between my legs at night but I can lay on my side now and walk and I should be able to lift the bigger girls again soon.

Liz - My machine doesnt have a lint filter. I just have to get used to it or throw them in the dryer. Usually I dont bother.

MMM Food....

[*charmalea*]

i must get a VHC nappy .... i must !!!
but i dont know how to get my name on the list ... i have a congo acc , i must be blind i cant figure out how to get my name in the list ....

[maz]

i must get a VHC nappy .... i must !!!

I'll help if you want hon - oh and email me your addy again..im as useless as tits on a bull atm

[Cheeky_Monkey]

GRRR I just lost a freakin post, I hate that!

Ali - I shall definitely let you know if I become free before that though. Just depends on how fast mum recovers I guess and how many last minute things I have to get done before the wedding.

Maz - You're right. At least she won't get picked on, just make sure she isn't the one being the bully MUHAHAHAHAHAHA. Little girls and their 'tudes!

Lea - Poor lil Gabs, I hope she wasn't too upset by the BT's. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be, I cry enough with immunisations.

WOPB: Still nothing. Fell asleep naked, the movie must have been boring.

We're off to the T'Ville Show tonight! I hope DS enjoys it, he's old enough for rides this year! Yay!

[Arimeh]

Back from PIL's place. We tested DS's blood sugar levels with MIL's diabetes tester pr!ck thingy.. (yeah I do know what I'm talking about.. really) and I think it was a little high.

Mine was only 4.1 so I'm pretty stoked about that!!!! Hopefully I won't get GD this pregnancy cos that'll stuff up my plans for a VBA2C!!!

And yes, got my card - with $60. I'm like, ohh cool I can buy nappies.. bwahahhahahahaha.

Took LOTS of photos at the IL's cos we were outside - so it makes a nice change to have some outside pics. DS wet through his BBB and cover, so changed him into a bumg which he promptly shat in. So I had to put him in his sisters medium GF. And of course it fits fine. Skinny ar$e boy. Of course my MIL doesn't really think anything is wrong with him losing a kg in a month - she thinks its cos he's got taller Hmmm... usually when they get taller they appear THINNER but they don't LOSE a kilo!!! stupid woman.

[*charmalea*]

thanks Maz , have emailed you , im desperate on getting a spesh nappy for my high maintenience girl .... kinda like a pressie to myself for going though all her troubles ... am email you now ..

CM - thanks too .. shes had a few BT now and still more to come , and more dietry restriction to come aswell we are just working on the main ones for now . PEAD and DR both think shes allergic to gluten , but the pead.dietician is on a wait list so shes being treated as a gluten intolerent until a full diagnosis is made.
