Well Im finally back! I started looking for MCN today (I know slack right?) and have bought a 3 pack of CT to try when the girls come and am looking for any other bargains that you guys know of. Im hunting for mostly smalls and OSFM as I have heaps of Mediums and DS is still a medium :)
How is everyone?
Kitten - E was weighed today and is just under 6kg so maybe we could go up a size (i have some yummy mediums but i LOVE my smalls - they were the first mcn's she fit properly!)
Hi Rhyb! How you all feeling! Hmmm, I was on the BBH website and they are clearing out their smooth magicalls with snaps for $17 I think and now I can't remember who it was maybe nappies downunder or something like that, and they were clearing out their natural cotton prefolds for $2, and GF has I think a buy 6 get one free or buy nappies get cloth wipes free type sale but that's the extent of my nappy searching recently. I apologize for my not so useful info :lol: I am probably the least 'in the know' person on this thread 'sighs'. So, off the point but I'm dying to know . . how big is your belly compared to a pregnancy with a singleton, does it feel very different in there??? (Sorry, nosey)
rhyb are you registered for the nappy hunt? some of the sites have good bargains and will do laybys and still let you use the discount code...
I registered for ther hunt have been so lazy bout it though lol
Im only measuring 2 weeks ahead so not huge but when one moves they all move lol Thanks for the info guys anythings a help at this stage :)
we are crawling! and in celebration
Elizabeth Montgomery's Photos - It's ON! | Facebook
Yay Kitt3n! . . am jealous . . people keep asking if DD is crawling yet and acting shocked when I say no . . am hoping she does soon so I can stop worrying she never will. Cute bub with little fluffy bottom in the air . . love it.
Hi girls!! Haven't posted in ages!! Good to see you back maz and Mel I don't think I said that when u came back.
Our lappy is brokne and I'm devo. emily pushed it off the footstoool onto the floor and the screen has shat itself. Its needs a whole new one :(
Kitt3n I just adore the pics of Laa in the Maz ladybug outfit! Devine!
Nappy news hmmm... Em is just about grown out of her medium BBh magicalls. I ahve a few large ittis but her belly is too big and they sit really low. I think I'll try some large magicalls.
I had an awesome time helping at the CT stand at the Sydney baby show last weekend. I even sold some which was a great feeling!!!
Emily is walking everywhere now so bring on summer dresses and showing off all the fluff!
laters
BRIGSY - Emerald might fit the RISE of a medium, but be the kgs of the SMALL.
sometimes you need to go up to a size that sounds too big for your bub, in order to get teh rise they need.
this is mentioned on the itti bitti site (as an example), to help people pick the right size.
RHYB - would you enjoy the hunt more if you just BROWSED, instead of searching for icons? i don't know if you are feeling well enough to sit at the computer, in the first place, just an idea.
bamboo mandy macs are at a rock bottom price, due to that person relocating, that's one bargain that stuck in my mind. They are a OSFA fitted, so you would need covers with those, they do up with a snappi.
KITTEN - LOVE LOVE LOVE the ladybird photos! woot!
EZYMAY - welcome back!
DOLLYROUX - we had success with the Imse Vimse swim nappy - one hip is sewn up and the other hip, side snap opening. I tried the aplix closing swim nappy - didn't like that - the aplix snagged MY bathers, not happy jan. The whole concept only works if you get good LEG SEAL. lack of gape is very important. We only started using them when DD was about one, so i don't know what to suggest if you want them for a younger bub (still with runny poos i mean).
bilby is FINALLY fitting into the size 2/3 knickers (boys and girls types) that you get at kmart/bigw/target etc. she's now 13.5kg. So that big pile i got for her toilet training many months ago? she finally fits into them NOW ha ha. (she trained at 27 months and is now 35 months old, wow, she's been trained 7 - 8 months now).
God i wish i had an excuse to buy MCN!
wotbb: blueberry trainers and woollen longies
Kitten, where did you get a nine inch nails mcn from? WICKED! :O
I too use a monkey doodlez swimming nappy.
Rthya I will take you up on the offer , I am not a great sewer either but would be a laugh anyway. I am sure you would be able to teach me a thing or too.
We are finally back in our mcn's after having a not so nice reaction to antibiotics that stained some of my fluff :(
woLb : blue camo Cushie
YES they certainly were and I love them!!!!! they rock hon and you wont be disapointed at all. If you want I'll keep my eye's peeled for any that pop up secondhand around the traps.:
Swim nappy....they really are just there to contain an accidental pooh hon. We used a pocket nappy up in QLD and Im spewing now cause I really should have let him freeball in the surf for some pics :lol: but here's a pic of him in it
Mateauz being a beach bum at Surfers
Hope everyone is well and not to cold...im freezing and thats saying alot with the extra layer of fat winter has grown on me
Ive got a few auriels that im expecting but sadly I think thats about it nappy wise for us :( I so wish I has a newborn again......
WOMB - breakfast mixed with last nights tea by the smell of him :sick:
think it was the way daddy put it on. she will be out of the nappies rise-wise before weight, but they are sitting ok when i put them on...:
BRIGSY - Emerald might fit the RISE of a medium, but be the kgs of the SMALL.
sometimes you need to go up to a size that sounds too big for your bub, in order to get teh rise they need.
Aww Maz great shot of Mateauz in the surf. What a cutie!!
Well Im officially 24 weeks pregnant today and chances are I could have the girls in 4 to 6 weeks! EEEK!
How many flats would you have in your stash for 3 NB?
WOHB: Orange blueberry
Just popping in to share (enable) itti bitti have some bargain seconds on clearance!
OMG Rhyb babe...24 weeks...here's to another 10 for you babe. I'd probably say 20 flats each if that helps...atleast they are quick drying for ya hon
Sam enable me all you want...their just to small for us now :cry: im going to go sit int he corner and sook. BUT bloody hell their cheap!!! WOW!!! Hope D got some
Any Melbourne girls want to get together at the Langwarrin RSL for lunch on the 18th of October at all???? Ive gotta meet up with the ever gorgeous Sammi and Melbel so was throwing it out there for ya's.
Enough chatting...Maz must clean.....its hit my like a slap to the face......anyone would think I was nesting :ROFL: IM not PG either (wishfull thinking)
the rsl or the pub Maz? Cos the pub does better food......
The place we went last time Mel. The pub! Berettas isn't it?
is that the same place we had the meet up with Trish last year Maz? i'm keen! will obviously depend on the money situation with C not working - but if we can, miss E and I will come down
ETA - shoudl have refreshed before posting!
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! Melbel has a pg avie and I neve noticed before!!!!!!!!!!! I love it to pieces!!!!
Sorry...little bit of wee escaped then hahahahah
Yeah the pub...I couldnt remember if it was a pub or RSL (dumb arse maz - must have sniffed to much spray and wipe).
B hon...you gotta come....pease....I'll pay for your lunch babe :). I need an E fix.
OH and Sammi...is Ruby in a Medium still ;)
just mentioned it to C and he nodded. we're out the night before, so i just have to remind C not to drink too much (cousin's wedding reception - gotta buy drinks - dammit!)
MAZ.......I am in melbourne (actually, Frankston EVEN) that weekend. Will have to check which day is mums birthday lunch, but put me down as a maybe :lol:
Still flogging nappies to get some GFs. Am waiting on one single solitary nappy that I paid for over a month ago to arrive. only to see it listed AGAIN in the same persons new for sale thread, NOT HAPPY JAN:angry:
Pick your co-ops carefully ladies, methinks some may not be as organised as others.........
gah - so tooo tired to be posting, just lost a big one :(
But the gist of it was, I have just got home from my first trip using MCN's. DH helped pack nappies (way too many) and the bucket, and just got home and washed them all. Soo easy - it was a trial run for the 2 weeks we're away at christmas.
Tan - pm me and let me know what day is good for you.
WOGB - BBH with woollen cover, all snuggled up in bed.
YAY BG hon :dance:
double yay SHELL!!!!!!! oMG that is only a stone throw away. IM staying at the inlaws at Mt ELiza for FIL's 70th that weekend.
Its easier then you think isnt it Cat clothing it away. I did it when we went to QLD. I even washed them up there and everything :)
I'll be getting fluffy mail!!!! I couldn't resist the cheap ittis so grabbed some. I missed out on a turquoise one though. I got a pink, purple, lilac and black!
I just bought 4 pop ins on sale! So excited for when they get here!!!
Hi all
Popped in a while ago to stalk the thread, back again to join in!
Well excitement plus...I should have 2 lots of fluffy mail arriving this week EEEEK talk about excited. Still getting a few odds and ends sent to see what will fit DS, have some BBHs on the way and couldn't resist the itti bittis on clearance. I wish they had more boys colours though, ended up just getting the black. Oh, and a moo moo limited edition :redface: So many pretty girl ones....! Even though he's only a little bub, the large IBs seem to fit him HEAPS better, mainly for the higher rise.
rhyb am I reading correctly that you have 3 little bubbas on the inside???? Man, that is exciting.
I want some warmer weather to help get stuff dry *SIGH*
have a great day!
Yup Ill have 4 kids under 18 months Lollybaby. Im quite mad clearly lol
Tossing up weather to get some Hautes too cz they work so well with DS. Somebody stop me before I go broke!
WOHB: Black HH
:boohoo: No GF's for me for a while, last week it was the dog at the vets with a $450 tick on it. This morning at 4 I get up to go pee and the cat is staggering around the place like a drunken sailor. It has a tick too. So early morning mercy dash to vets + extended stay = no fancy embriodered Genesa Forge nappies for a while.
Rhyb, more nosey questions :lol: is there a date, they wont let you go past, or is it wait and see how they all cope as you go? And can you really feel them move individually, ie, can you tell which one is which or is it just all jumbled up?
Be cool having all those bubbas inside at once....
no rhyb, you're not mad....you're superwoman! that is so exciting
3 little bums in cloth how cute
WOw its going so quickly Rhyb!!!!! Never know - our babies might all be born on the same day ;) lol
No new nappy news here, just received a cute embroidered one in the mail - its cute, its purple, and DS will look great in it I'm sure.. hahahaha!
Just incase anybody is interested... :p
Click if you dare!!
Mel you read that Im going nuts with buying MCN and you open up shop :rofl:
MLM I asked them today and well the hospital has no idea at this point lol. Girls are all growing well so theres no rush at this point no issues with TTTS or me not coping *fingers crossed* so theyre gonna push it as far as they can so hopefully they wont have a huge stay in the NICU/SCBU. I can tell the difference when its Baby A kicking (shes on her own with her own placenta). Babies B and C often lie ontop of one another and share a placenta so its hard to know whos who lol.
Lollybaby Im excited Ill have 4 in cloth cz noway is DS anywhere near TT nor will he be for along time. (Average age for TT is 2.5- 3 ish isnt it?)
Quick question has anyone tried Issy Bear Nappies?? Just heard about them today and thought Id ask around
rhyb - ive heard a few bad things about them , so maybe wouldnt go there ... ive heard they are a straight rip off of another brand , but i could be wrong .... just relaying what ive heard ... they do look verry similar to GK :hmm:
me - well nothing really ......
:)
Argh I just bought 3 Happy Babes OSFM to trial. Dear god Im gonna be broke lol
RHYB: bubs toilet train at different ages. i know people who are or have ec'd their bubs from birth (Elimination Communication) which is a form of toiletting.
i know people who have used the "3daypottytraining" ebook too, and trained their child in three days. You stay home for three days straight, follow the method and your child is tt-d by day four.
bilby started showing signs at around 27months, and was trained by 28 months. (2.5 is 30 months). so the age can vary heaps.
Toilet training a child, by yourself, when pregnant (not to mention preg with triplets!!), would be a whole new kettle of fish. i have no clue about that. Unless you have someone in real life, who would stay at your home for three days, to do this for you.
But having potties around the house, (to familiarise the child with them, get them used to sitting on them for other activities, e.g drawing, reading) and inviting them to sit on the potty before and after the bath for example, can help introduce the concept. (once child is old enough to walk well and sit themselves on the potty). Lifting them up and down from the loo i think might be too much for you, but you can get potty aids like a little ladder, and BIG steps. again, depends on the height of your child. i did alot of lifting at the start, due to having very short toddler, and when she DID get the potty concept, after three days, she wanted to use the loo and NOTHING ELSE!
even though we didn't do Elimination COmmunication, i got heaps of ideas from teh EC site called TRIBAL BABY to help me toilet train bilby (i had no clue).
we have white rental carpet and no real safe outdoor space, so i got her waterproof trainers too, that meant damp clothing at the worst, but no puddles on the floor - so the carpet didn't get wrecked. no loss of bond. phewl.
you know your own body, what you can cope with and what you can't, i found tt-ing involved alot of bending and squatting down, being camped out in the loo cajoling, hi-fiving and lots of false starts, false alarms etc (so if you do it, leave steps/chairs around for yourself). it was an intense time, but now she's trained. so only you can make the call.
that is so cool that you can tell, when the different bubs are kicking, aw!!!
ARIMEH - welcome back
hi Lolly
got a sick bilby here, first day we've managed to get any medicine down her, blissfully quiet now, must be into something naughty!
wow we got fluffy mail today! a new sandman (size large) for little laa. i tell you, its all just going far too quicky....... need another !
rhyb - I can't imaging buying fluff for 3, the mountains of fluffy mail that will be heading your way must be such an exciting thing to look forward to! if i was you though, i would try and stick to a few types - just to make washing and hanging easier! (that is of course, if you are as anal as me - i use all the same ones within one wash, and when I hang them out i actually sort them out first, so they are all little soldiers on the line) it does make putting them away much easier!
mlm - how dare animals muck up your GF plans?! ha
speaking of GF - those bamboo veour fitteds she was doing, anyone try any? I am thinking of asking her if she would do a bamboo velour fitted night nappy.....
melbel - OH MY GOSH LOOK AT YOUR AVVYYYYYY!!!! oh me oh my! that is so very lovely to see!!!
bg - i know, it really sux to have to come to terms with growing out of nappies. it just goes too quickly
oh and the NIN nappy is a GF :) might send on to trent....
wohb - DFM
Thanks for that info Gigi. DS is only just 16 months so I doubt TT is coming, poor little guy gets a shock when he wees without a nappy on cz it feels strange lol
Kitten Im a tad nuts cz I hang all my boosters on one line and all my outers/shells on another and it has to be that way :redface: No one dares does my nappies washing for me cz they know Ill just go and redo it lol
Aidens in sposies for today cz we had a massive case of diarreha (mind you hes been sick and hasnt pooed for 4 days) that ended up everywhere so Im being lazy today. Dont know how Id go with those poos in cloth
Ill be sitting on my mail box this week and next, waiting on 13 nappies! Will be great fun when they arrive though :)
Kitt3n - ive got a fitted GF..their not bad...not as absorbent as i'd like though :(
TT - each to their own...i refused to be a slave to is and just let my kid's guide me. I found it much easier then feeling like I was failing when my child didnt wee on command. N and V tt just after their 2nd birthdays, W when he was 4 and M ...well that's still to be established. Then im not one to go by a book so sorry to go against the grain.
Binboo - dont talk to me about that dust...we drove through it and somehow it got into the luggage bag on the car roof and into my nappies up there. not happy.
And guess which **** gave her son panadol whilst away in QLD and forgot to take liners with her and now had 2 badly stained GF's and auriels :dooh:
WOMB - gerbrah sandman and skull fleecie MAL cover
Hey Maz babe - are you doing customs at all or just stockings? I need some newborn covers :) PM or email me mate xxxxx
Rhyb - I forgot how expensive sposies were until I had to buy some for when we moved down and all my cloth was packed in a box (well ok, the whole stash was in 3 boxes, but anyhoo) and just having two in them was sooo expensive!!!!! Definitely not within our budget now that we are on the one income :(
Better go have my nightly cup of RLT and have DH rub my poor aching legs for me. Such a shame he can't rub my SPD away - stupid stupid body is falling to bits. Too old for this pregnancy bizzo!!!
RHYB - do you have a little squirt? (to deal with the poo).
i was attempting to say, in my last post, that toilet training is very unique to each child (at which age they do it and how they do it), and each family's situation. I really didn't mean to imply that there was "one way to do it" or anything like that. I really hope i haven't offended anyone.
