    Oh, Rhyb ,, ech I still remember the pain of morning sickness hope it's not triple strength for you - hopefully it will pass in a couple of weeks and the smell of MCN's won't set you off anymore. Have you tried using flushable liners so that you don't have to deal with too much of the smell in the meantime? I find when I use them I don't have to be 'exposed' to the stenchy mess for more than I would a disposable as just wipe the liner down with all the stuff in it and chuck it in the toilet straight away, then just wipe and new nappy.

    Had a horrid night last night, DD has a cold, this is the first time she has ever been sick so was a new experience for me. Woke 4 times crying hard and snuffling, didn't want to drink anything from bottle, didn't want boob, didn't want to lie down or sit down, was ok walking around but I thought I was going to pass out if I kept that up I was so tired and out of it. finally got her to take boob as have still got a teensy bit in there if she wakes in the night and that got her settled enough to get put back into bed for another little sleep before it all started again. So I put her in a sposie as was too tired to go downstairs and get the nappies out of the dryer - big mistake. This morning, Wet poo out her leg, up the top at the front and the bag leaked on her onesy, singlet everything - Sposies just don't have the containment of my MCN's.

    WOEB: CT Yellow Basix - Ooops - hoping she doesn't sleep too long this morning as didn't get chance to change her into a more absorbent one.

    Rhy, hun I would do whatever it takes to get thru the MS. The triplets are taking the energy that you manage to get, considering the MS, that wont be much, so relax, if you need him to be in sposies, sposies it is.

    Well Leah confirmed that she is a very heavy wetter. She outwet 8 layers of bamboo in a CT this morning. In an hour. All the boosters were wet and then her suit got wet.

    WOSB: Blue with white dots CT Couture
    WOEB: froggy CT couture
    WOLB: BWDM with bamboo foldup and ME Rikki cover.

    rhyb I went through a phase of not being able to tolerate C's pooey nappies when I was PG. I'd sling them in the trough and deal with then when I felt a bit braver. Quite often the next day I'd end up with a few and go gung ho at it. Quite often the poo would go a bit hard and it comes off easier and didn't smell as bad Not good for stains but most of them ended up sunning out eventually lol!
    But if you've got to use sposies for a bit then that's fine. I think that's what sposies are for - for when you can't do cloth sometimes!

    Kitt3n there is a 1.5 in the works apparently. I emailed Lesley to suggest it and she said it was on the way but didn't give any hints as to when.

    Gigi not sure on her weight but will be seeing the nurse on Tuesday for our special visit I was keeping this quiet but I'm all a bit excited cos I just had the phone ring while I was typing this just now. Ruby is going to be in a promo ad on teev for the vic government
