Wow, Mel, where do you put all those nappies!!!? My change table is chockers and I only have 40. I thought I had heaps.
Kerry, cloth are fantastic once you get into the swing of it. I would never go back to sposies. No poosplosions for us.
Sue, hope Arabella's feeling better. Don't upset yourself to much, you're definately not a bad mother. I have a Wii fit on order, can't wait to use it. We have a pool to and yeah, I'm super paranoid about it.
Eej, we start swimming on Friday. Can you do a trial run at the swimming or Gymbaroo to see which one Emily likes better. I did a gymbaroo style thing with Danielle but she never enjoyed it, though my GF's DD loooves it. Hope your feeling better.
Jo, that's unfortunate that you swimming lessons didn't go well, but at least you can go to the pools and just have fun, I think it really needs to be kept fun for them. I love the tag teams, there's been a couple of nights where the girls tag team all night!
CJ thats terrible about your MIL's house. Just glad everybody is OK. Hope Madeline's eye is getting better.
Pam, your doing fantastic in the challenge. I've come to a stand still this week, my own fault though I really need to get myself moving.
Well I've realised that Ashlyn is a really easy going, patient little girl. Yesterday she was trying to get her knees under her but kept slipping. She tried and tried until she just got to tired, never got upset or cried. So cute, I got some of it on camera. She can sit up for a few seconds, a bit longer if she holds my hand. She's also been trying to push up on her hands, looks a bit like she's doing pushups, lol. I love that she's making this progress, but I kind of want her to slow down, IYKWIM.
Sue why are baby beehinds not great for you guys? I just ordered 6 new magicalls! I hope they are ok for Emily I'm worried now! I'm going to try some bg's too.
Kerry - Lauren gave me heaps of second hand websites i'll send the message through to you on FB.
Captain- I'm not sure about trials for swimming but you can do a 3 week trial with gymbaroo, that's a good idea!
Mel-Yay Ash!
Hi everybody. Sorry for the long absence but with the heatwave last week I took off to my parents house because it is so much cooler than my house. I was more than ready to come home at the end of it though
I don't have time now for personals but I have been reading your updates So much exciting news around.
Well first thing I wanted to let you know that I am not pregnant which is a relief. I didn't want to be pregnant and due around Molly's first birthday.
Molly rolled over the other day from front to back. She did it once screamed like a banshee and hasn't done it since And she is getting closer to rolling over from back to front.
We visited the health nurse yesterday and she weighs 7.4kg and is 65 cm long. While I enjoy finding out her stats I do have to say I find it a waste of time going. My nurse doesn't really tell me much or talk about anything. Feels like a WW weigh in without the meeting. Oh well.
I was wondering if anyone has started solids yet or thinking about it?
we started solids!! Liberty was getting hungry between feeds and I tried feeding her closer together and then she got the explosive poos so it was either give her more formula again or give her solids. So I went the solids. And she loves it! She actually cried when it was all gone this morning, snatching the spoon off me and shoving it in her mouth trying to lick every last bit off it!! I'm only making up 4g of farex atm with about 20-30ml of breastmilk so maybe I need to give her more. I need to get over to the baby led solids forum... but first I need to finish some sewing projects.
Sue - I was holding Liberty across the length of my body and wasn't paying attention and accidently wacked her head on the top of my parents stair case and hit her just above her eye. She SCREAMED for ages. I cried too!! We all make mistakes, don't worry about it!
Mel - someones definently a little addicted!! I was just in a certain forum trading room where someone was talking about having 90 and I was like YIKES that's a lot but 90!?!?!
I have 10 cushie tushie coutures and one cushie tushie basix. They're OSFM and the good thing is they don't fit most babies so I can buy them cheaply second hand, Liberty fits them perfectly too so I only buy this brand. Someone gave me 3 for free the other day yay!! It was beginners luck really that she fitted these. I also make my own using the Wee Waka or however u spell it pocket nappy. I like the cushie tushies as they're all in one. We use flats for home, mcns for going out and the pockets for home or night.
I don't like velcro nappies because I can make them myself. I only like snaps. and i like the one size to save money.
kerry - the washing is EASY. (well i do have a chucky baby so in comparison to the clothes i wash for reflux its definently easy). i actually take quite pride in pegging out all the nappies! And folding flats takes seconds.
yay for ashlyn and ashton!!
erin - u can always sell ur BGs if they don't work out for you. Aren't u glad u only bought 6 just in case?? I guess the only way to find out is to try them.
Hello to everyone else too who is thread stalking like I ususally do!!
Hiya all. I had a bit of a me day today. Mum shopped with Arabella so I could get my hair washed, cut and ironed - soooo nice. I am going back for the colour to be done next week, didn't want to push my luck all in one day.
Oh yay, I get my new aircon installed on saturday, now maybe I will stay away from the shops and save a bit of cash PML.
we have a booking next week to have some photos done and I have bought a cute little dress for Arabella to wear, now I just have to hope that she doesn't spew on herself or crack a darky cause she is tired or teething the grandparents have been riding me for some pics for ages so I thought I'd better get it done.
MM - holy moley, 148 nappies, you are a bit of a nappy addict hey. My df saw the price of the nappies the other day and just freaked out.
captain - oooh clever Ashlyn, Bella gets the shiats just trying to keep things in her hands. U will lurve the wii fit, it's so addictive, my kids hog it from me all the time though. Just another thing they take from me, first it was the puter so I bought a laptop and now they take MY wii fit, how rude.
eej - I just found that Bella piddled straight out the side of the BBH's for some reason, no matter what I did. also, they dont have the keep dry lining thing that the BG's have. they take aaaaaages to dry cause they are the hemp stuff (i think that's what it's called, I'm not a pro mcn?r LOL). Bella just didn't like sitting in a puddle of wet. aahhh, sorry for getting u too worried, u probably end up really liking them. *crawls back into the corner*
donna - whoa, u would have had yr hands full with another bubs due. Yay for Molly's little stunt. for all I know my little poop probably rolls back and forth when I dont see. We started solids a few weeks back and it's going really well, a little too well, someone is looking like a sumo wrestler
Lauren - Yay, another mum who knows just how I feel with a reflux baby and the amount of washing. Bella hasn't even let up one bit on the spewing, but she is a happy chucker. I have towels placed around the house on the floor and when I sense she is going to let it fly I run and lean over the towels and just pick em up at the end of each day LOL. saves trying to catch the spew with the piddly bibs. '
waaaaaaahhhhhh
So much exciting news around.
