MLM its ok to be shocked at my age. Honestly when I say 4 kids I am too I just remember that I havent been handed more than I can handle and I have great friends that are willing to be there for me when Im pulling out my hair and my eyes are hanging out of my head

Winter and Lollybaby thanks for the offers guys! I use cloth wipes to reduce costs so Im set there and I kinda went overboard with cot sheets when towel man had 2 fitted sheets for $5.95. I have so many blankets, clothes etc its insane

In nappy news Im finding myself logging onto Mazs store 3 times a day to make sure the NB fluff doesnt go live Slightly obsessed

Hey all

I've been MIA and too much conversation to remember, but I am going to cheer on rhyb. You are doing a great job baking your little ladies

While I'm supposed to be on a net break I have managed to land 2 beetleubms from yesterdays pre order (really I lucked out there, right place right time!) and also a wooly night pocket. I also have coming 2 CK's auriels. It's a fluffy bonanza week here

Ruby has a very spoilt bum!

WOHB: BBH and MAL cover.

[*charmalea*]

oh yes very spoilt indeed Raven lucky lady !

i am after xmas nappy too Ezzy , there are some at bubble bubs that im thinking of nabbing .... but i know they are too wide for miss tiny giney ....

[Kitt3n]

Raven OMG that is an awesome haul! Lucky you I would love to try a beetlebum pocket but I am afraid I would want more!

lea - DFM are great. If I hear of a stocking I will let you know. They are one of our main players here.

anyone else think melbourne cup is at a stuuuupid time? 3pm is school pick up you goofs, us SAHMs would like an excuse for champers in the middle of the day too!!!!

WOHB - GF

[~Raven~]

Kitt3n it is a bit of an annoying time but luckily for us we get the day off Really have to pace oneself so you're not too inebriated before the big race back in the days when I used to go

Lea DFM are a great nappy and so worth it. If I hear of any coming up I'll let you know

We have a few beetlebums now thanks to Gigi cos I nabbed her stash of them but this is only the second time in 3+ years of using cloth I've been able to hyena some new. I so suck at being a hyena usually lol.

Hi lovely ladies

I've just subscribed too as I need to learn, learn, learn over the next 6 months!!!

I am still so clueless, but after some lovely PM's from BG, Maz, Arimeh & Jodie I'm slowly learning

When DS was born I used cloth, but also remembering that was almost 12yrs ago now, so things have slightly changed

At this point for newborn stage, I'm going to go with the prefolds & flats until I know size & shape of bub... am stocking up on MAL covers, & also wanting some pretty nappies - ones for going out & to try other than the prefolds/flats... any ideas or advice is welcome.... I'm still fairly clueless at this point

Hoping that subscribing to this thread will teach me from reading as well
(I'm having a little trouble with the abbreviations on some nappies... forgive me if this is obvious, but is there a thread or sticky somewhere telling me what they are? )

im like that with CK's and I have 14

Its been hot as here over the last few days and ive found that M is out weeing his nappies in 1 - 2 hours due to the fluid intake...thankfully cause of the hear the nappies are drying nice and quickly

Had to strip wash out night nappies....our snadman stunk to die heaven..phew!!!

Sammi - I keep going back and hoping and that BB have magically put up some custom slots....I am ddetermined to get one before M TT's

For those interested, if you can come or not, ther eis a thread in the Vic meet up section in regards to Melbel's baby shower in December

now must go and befriend bertha for the day

WOMB - lime green and construction orange GF

Welcome to the thread Holly!!!!

If I was to go back and do it all again, for the first few months I would go with the Booroi stuff - their prefolds fit perfectly into the side snapper covers and they have a double leg gusset - so no leaky NB poos And, of course, a few Maz NB/small covers for going out!

After that I would suggest side snappers. I think pretty much every one who has used ss (side snappers) would agree that they create the best fit. My faves are sugar shots, dragonfly magik, beetlebums and genessa forge. GF's are fairly easy to get but with time up your sleeve you might just be able to nab a few "hyena" items.

lol I dont think there is an abbreviation list - maybe we should start one?

[Daydream Believer]

Hi all, long time no post.

Well DD holds on until the last minutes & pee's all at once & the nappies cant soak it up fast enough & we flood nappies 9/10 times. Where is the best place to sell them now that nappychic has been disabled?

[briggsy's girl]

Holly - if you get lost, just ask in here hun - i find sometimes i really need to think it through with some of the nappies, esp the ones i don't use!

for flashy going out nappies - i love my widdlewuns! E has been in them since she was about 4 weeks - is five months now and still fitting them nicely. very cute embroidery on the butt! i have lots of pink/purple ones though so i didn't get them til i was over half way and knew she was pink (did still panic when she arrived in case i had lots of pink and a blue bundle lol)

[rhyb]

Thanks guys!

Raven Im very jealous! Just finally found the beetlebums webpage and they had their stocking last night
I cant wait til I get my GFs and I have a DM here for DS to wear when he gets home from daycare

[~Raven~]

There used to be an abbreviations list I'm sure. Perhaps it went with Shannon...

Sal use buy4baby or if you can hold off a bit I think NC will be back with a different format so a little birdy told me

Holly what you've said is a good starting point!

Maz lol have fun playing with Bertha!


Gee I've been in here 3 times this morning! Gotta love public holidays and big brothers entertaining the wee fella

[briggsy's girl]

MAL is maz-a-licious
Maz usually advertises her stockings on here (in the marketplace members bit) or on her facebook page. you have to be quick to get her stuff - she is very popular!

DFM is dragonfly magic/magik - can't remember the spelling

[rhyb]

Wow Bimboo I shouldnt complain then Im just 29 weeks and measuring around 37 weeks but can still wear pre pregnancy clothes still (just!)
DFM or DM are dragonfly magik. Apparently theyre very hard to get and I think the website is temporarily closed.
Heat is ok Im not doing much to be honest just to heighten my chances of getting past 30 weeks. Im very lucky that DS is pretty independant and doesnt need me to run around with him and will come to me if he needs/wants something. Works well at this point.

Nappy news DS wore his DFM for all of half an hour before he covered it in yoghurt
Oh well well try again another day

[*TripleJ*]

i wrote a post but it disappeared
anyways loving the microfleece liners it make poo so much easier to deal with and DS is only in sposies for half a day now woo hoo while i wait for nappies to dry

WOJB: baby safari snap and stuff

[rhyb]

I just got fluffy mail!!!
I got
A bumblebee GF with embroidery on the front and back
A green mottled SS DFM
8 BumG and
2 Happy Heineys!

Im in lurve!!!
