I forgot I was supposed to be on this thread!!! Just spent twenty minutes trying to catch up with all the posts~!
YAY squidipa on your XH letting you go to NZ! You must be soooo excited. I am dying to go to NZ but will have to wait till we have some cash.... and get DD a passport etc.
Hey Kiwigirl, I'm Rachel too - but happy to be the pixie to avoid confusion. hope you're feeling better hun.
Beema - you are always soooo happy! it's great! Great news on Nakita's booties... bet she still kicks them off though, Beth always does. About the wipes, DD always grizzles with huggies (even sensitive) and curash wipes. I got a tip on a baby wipes thread about buying home brand make-up remover wipes and soaking them in water. They're great! She doesn't mind them at all, and they only cost $1.55 a packet which is like a fifth of the dedicated baby wipes. I don't know why you need all those chemicals in something you're only going to wipe your baby's bum with IYKWIM. I don't wipe my bum with chemicals so why do I want to do it to her?
Mel - bugger about the infection - was it related to the CS or something else completely? Hope you feel better.
SB hope you get things sorted out.... minipill could easily be the problem, surely its enough of a hormonal rollercoaster already without adding that to the mix?
Going to start expressing so the Bear can do a late night feed. He is such a foodie he hates missing out on feeding her LOL. We bought a steriliser at a garage sale and it needs a good clean out so I have to wait till i can find some citric acid, whatever that is LOL. But then can't wait to use my electric pump LOL.
MM, kel, and.... everyone else.... promise I'll try to keep up from now on! LOL

ETA - and about the bath thing, we have got a little rubber duckie with a thermometer on the bottom.
