The sun's out! No pony time today, though, unfortunately. I decided to stay put today!
I've had an awkward situation arise today...my aunt from overseas sent a present for us, after asking me a few weeks ago what we needed (not much, but suggested a lambskin for the carseat when it faces forwards). Well, got the gift today...a nappy bag...I have one already in another colour! It's a great colour and would probably have been a first choice, but I've been using the other one since day 1 and my sister got it for me, so I'm not giving it up. I could give it to my sister, but my aunt will then get my sister something and I'll have nothing from my aunt to tell Oscar she got him! PLUS, I already bought my sister one in another colour again and I could take it back for a refund, but then I'm left with the previous sentence's scenario. She bought it from an online baby gift site cos she's overseas...what to do? Keep it as a spare and alternate season by season? Week to week? Keep them both scrupulously clean by washing one on one week to force me to use both? The new one also has a mobile phone pouch that my first one doesn't have...I suppose it couldn't hurt to have two? There isn't anything else on the site that we need or want (would like an extra sling, like a Baba Sling - different design from the HAB), so I'm either going to have to keep a spare or email my aunt to tell her what my situation is...loathe to do that. They're a bit expensive to be keeping as a 'spare'. Unless I keep the red one for me and the other one for DP. But with only one baby, this seems a bit much! I would love to have a 'something' from her that reminds me of her when I use it. Has this happened to anyone else?
Bath I took Alex myself down to emergency, he stopped breathing for around 30 secs and after a good whack on the back from me started to cry again...have never been so glad to hear him cry before!
IK I personally would just keep the bag. Speaking from experience after a while your nappy change bag will start to get worn/grubby etc especially if you take it everywhere so you will be glad to have another one to use.
Ali sounds like you had a lovely weekend,a picnic in the park soaking up the sunshine sounds glorious!
Jess hope things improve for you soon.
Rory good to have you back online!
ANyway Alex is crying, again so better go attend to him.
Thanks, Gabysmum - it was a thought I had to keep it, but this bag is actually a really good bag and very compartmentalised, so it's not even close to grubby yet (and use it just about every day to go everywhere, including to see my horse!). Do you know the GR8X deluxe baby traveller bag? Well, that's it...and now I have two! I was actually thinking that I could call my aunt and ask her if she wants me to keep it for my sister and she can get me something else. Then, I can return the one I have here in black (for my sister), cos it was going to be from my mum, but my mum's already getting her heaps of things and was only getting her the bag cos she knew how great I found the bag. I think I'll just call her.
Meanwhile, I've revisited my old Jewel songs and decided that they are great to sing to Oscar and flex my voice quite nicely. I love to sing and I love to sing to Oscar even more! I'm getting some "to sing to Oscar" playlists happening on my iTunes, so I can sing at home and in the car
Just missed your post, Bath - 2 same opinions in 5 minutes...I might be starting to be swayed... I suppose it's not like he'll grow out of it and that will be that; we could actually need a replacement in a year's time...I never thought of that...I just can't see the bag getting worn, though, it's such a great quality bag. Hmmm, I might sit on it for a while. Meanwhile, I need to thank my aunt for it...
