Love the names of that bubble wash stuff. Let us know if it is any good.

It looks like we are buying a tarago. We have found a 1996 model and can get it for $9000. I thought it was still a bit much but having a look around we found that it is a good price. Trying to arrange finance now so keep your fingers crossed for us.

[[M]umma[M]ia]

your added now

[hj1981]

they are spoil sports arnt they! hehehehe

Anyways goodmorning everyone - how are u all and ur precious little bundles?

My precious little bundle is a bit cranky this morning - woke on the wrong side of the cot i think!

Tan - i think im going to buy B some of that wash and use it in her bath - but maybe not a good idea cause she already smells so yummy that i wanna eat her - if she smelt of Santa's Donuts or Rasberry and Vanilla she might be in real trouble! hehehe

We went and saw a house that we liked for the 2nd time last night - we are going to put an offer on it! so fingers crossed all goes well - we also apparently might have a few interested buyers looking thru our house tomorrow! ooooo its getting exciting now!

anyway im off today to help a friend in need to up her nursery and do some washing since she has been told to maybe expect her bub a little early - she is 36wks and bub is breech so is having a ECV next friday!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

[[M]umma[M]ia]

[[M]umma[M]ia]

[[M]umma[M]ia]

number 5 im so sorry.. site and comp seem to b ok now.

[Beach Mama]

Hehe Hollye!!!
I got my Bubblebubs foamy wash today - James' bot will smell DELICIOUS! Can't wait for him to wake up - I have enough cloth for him for the whole day today!

[Lady-bug]

Tan-where did you get the bum wash?? Let me know if it is any good! I've just been using water and sorbelene (sp?). How are you going with the cloth nappies?? Loving it?

[Beach Mama]

I LURVE them! I have just stuffed the ones that I got yesterday and are now dry! Ready for use when he gets up - today will be the first day I get to use them ALL day! Well half a day seeing as he is still in bed! I got the foamy wash from their site! Off to cut up an old towel to use until I get some material for mum to make some cloths for me. I got one that is a Christmas one called Joyeaux Noel and its divine, coconut and cinnamon smells!

[Lady-bug]

I must get some material for cloth wipes, I've just been using fash washers, but I want to make them with one side flanelete and the other side terry towelling.

My son is driving me mad today! He is just over tired because he didn't (shall I say refused!!) to sleep before we went supermarket shopping this morning and now he is being a horror and refusing to sleep! But he is sooo tired!! Hopefully he will sleep well tonight!!

[Beach Mama]

Well HERE is my offical goodbye ladies, it has been so nice getting to know you all and watching our bellies and babies grow! If you want to add me on FB just pm me!

Take care and I will pop in from time to time!

ETA: First bub - most places recommend 18mths for a VBAC babe but think about it - your scar is STRONG and already healed. I had 17 mths between mine and yep I ended up in another c/s but that had nothing to do with my scar. Read all you can and make your own decision.

[didispunk]

Hello Hello all!!

yes i have been gone for a while but i am back!!! Being in Canada was rewarding yet exausting! but now back to hang out with you guys!!

All is great with Jorda, i trained her to sleep through the night so i am loving last feed at 8pm and up at 7am!!! GOOD GIRL!!

[hj1981]

Dont leave us completly - do make sure u pop in every so often!!!!

Hollye - how is mia going?

Didi - welcome back! and oh my gosh - i think Jorda is our first bub in this thread to have a tooth come thru (someone correct me if im wrong) how exciting!!!

Well it looks like Bianca now sleeps thru the night - she has done it every night this week! we even went out to dinner last night and thought that would interrupt her and she would wake up but nope she didnt! so she is in bed around 2000/2030ish and awake between 0530/0630 woohooo!!!!

[blizz]

[[M]umma[M]ia]

didi - r u living there now??????????????????????? woohooo a tooth! Mia has 2 now that are teasing to come through. Come on teeth!

HJ - Mia is good she gets weighed again on thursday and im very confident she has put on atleast 150 grams!

Mia's routine (she put herself in) down at 8pm, rollover feed at 11pm ( that i wake her for) and sleeps till 8am. shes been doing this now for over a week. I need to learn to get to bed earlier tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
