Trish/Amelia - we have the same bassinette!! How beautiful is it?? I brought mine brand new on sale for $125. I was the same, saw it and had to have it! I love that it's bigger than average so I'm hoping bub will stay in it for longer. I've had three different bassinettes for each bub, hoping this will be the best. DS hated the last one which was a beautiful antique wicker one, but not very practical it turned out so I sold that ages ago. Made lots of money on it though cause we had repaired and resprayed it etc.
DH set ours up in our room on the w/end just so we could see where it fit etc. Going to wash all the bassinette sheets (are you guys using cotton or flanelette sheets??) etc today or tomorrow, crappy weather today so might wait till tomorrow when it's supposed to be sunny. $75 is a GREAT price Trish, I was watching a few on ebay and they were holding their value pretty well, most selling for around $120-140. I have NO idea why people were buying them second hand for that much when they retail for around $150 so I just went and brought a new one!
Saffi - wow, I didn't realise how close behind me you are!!
Trish - nursery pretty much done for now. After boo arrives we'll decorate it properly. A friend returned 3 boxes of stuff yesterday so I went through that last night. So have another load of clothes, sheets, wraps etc to do and also have to wash the car seat cover, rocker cover and bouncer cover...then I think that's pretty much it! Going to make a start on packing my bag this week too. I was a bit worried we wouldn't have enough winter/long sleeved clothes but there were heaps in the stuff I got yesterday so we'll have plenty now. If we have another boy, we have sooooo many clothes that I've already told my mum to tell people no clothes if they ask what to buy the baby as a gift...I'm not expecting many gifts actually for bub #3 but mum thinks I'll still get plenty
Hope all the sick mummies and babies are feeling better soon
And great news on all the tiny bubba scans
