Clairey, would you like us to start being horrible to you so it feels familiar??

Claireykitten · 17/02/2009 17:26

No please dont!!

KittyCatIsGettingFat · 17/02/2009 17:36

Nutty - we are DEFFO meeting up after our babies pop... Can't you picture the scene? Probably at a commune somewhere in the middle of the UK, drinking Jack and coke or Bubbles while breastfeeding and swapping house decorating tips...

Our DH's will all get along famously while playing XBox, while the older kiddies can finger paint and make brownies under the watchful eyes of a few fab doulas...

Total bliss!!

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 17/02/2009 17:45

LOL Kitty that is a fab scene

Clairey - you are more than welcome here, just dive in anytime its a shame you were put off by other more cliquey threads but luckily none of us are like that

we all rock

ok going off to feed my face see ya later

BB- yes she was 27 +1 (+6 by my dates)

Lol@ wateringeyes (post way back)#

bleu- yes me I'm taking washables into hospital this time too

bb- I find that different people like different nappies so dont worry. I dont mind most nappies but have a constant battle for good wraps

frekkles- agree re owing someone else mightbe better

Ahhh new thread post must cut and paste

Clairey- as you can see I struggle to keep up. And while I've been typping this there will have been 10 new posts

bronze · 17/02/2009 17:59

ahhh dd has taken all her clothes off, walked over to me and peed on my foot

LuLuBai · 17/02/2009 17:59

Yes - wraps are challenging. I'm fairly fickle when it comes to wraps. I found velcro brilliant for getting the seal exactly right on a little baby but an inquisitive older baby just wrips velcro off so poppers work better then. Also the seal you get around the legs really varies and depends a lot on your own child's proportions (and volume of wee produced).

Anyway, I'm being boring.....

LuLuBai · 17/02/2009 18:01

ROFL Bronze!!!!

My DD is naked at the moment too. I gave up the clothing battle mid-afternoon. So far no wees which is lucky as I've just cleaned all the floors, mopped and hoovered wherever necessary.

BoffinMum · 17/02/2009 18:02

I love disposables. I think resuables are an eco-conspiracy to make mums feel guilty and send them back to the kitchen sink.

LuLuBai · 17/02/2009 18:02

LuLuBai · 17/02/2009 18:09

Ha ha Boffin - dare you to go and post that on the real nappy threads .

I actually find disposables more practical on many fronts. For DDs first 4 months we were living in a 1 bed flat with rubbish collection once a week. I simply didn't have the space to store a weeks worth of dirty nappies (first few weeks' there were around 8 a day). With washables I just chucked them in the machine at the end of every day. Job done.

Also they do seem to suit DDs skin better. She gets more nappy rash in disposables and, after briefly using a rather dodgy type she got a horrible dose of thrush.

BoffinMum · 17/02/2009 18:11

I am tempted Lulu but perhaps I am too much of a coward. Maybe I could troll away with a namechange ...

LuLuBai · 17/02/2009 18:16

I avoid the nappy threads like the plague as they are rife with rows. But I might just keep an eye out

KittyCatIsGettingFat · 17/02/2009 18:18

TrollBoff - it has a certain ring to it, don't you think??

SpringySunshine · 17/02/2009 18:19

BB, your DH's text is nothing - DP & I are in love with online Monopoly (it's become a bit of an addiction) & whenever he needs to toilet he says 'do you want a game of MonoPOOly?' & takes his laptop in with him for the 45 minutes or so. Whilst typing into the in-game chat things like 'nrrrrrgh' & so on.

Actually, about this wedding...

Clairey, you're reet by me! I didn't know this! Now you're definitely not allowed to leave the thread

We had better all be doing a meet-up after we've popped! I'll be gutted if I never get to meet you all - you've kept me sane(ish) for months already!

bronze, moments like that make me pine for motherhood

bronze · 17/02/2009 18:33

its alright minutes later dh came back from taking ds2 to the fair and they brought me back a bag of candy floss. I can forgive anyone anything right now

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 17/02/2009 18:36

Boffin - yay another one i love disposables (been too scared to say till now)

Bronze - lol

OP posts:

BoffinMum · 17/02/2009 18:43

I will start a disposable nappy thread if Lulu and Nutty promise to come and defend me from the flames!!! We will be like the three muscateers!!!

bronze · 17/02/2009 18:48

I use disposables as well. Does that make you feel better?

Claireykitten · 17/02/2009 18:55

I use disposables (thats despite being determinied to do it all reusable whilst pregnant last time) It took us about a week using disposables to decide that we didnt fancy trying to get reusables onto our wriggly little monster!

BoffinMum · 17/02/2009 19:08

Ok ladies I'm going in. Cover my back.

KittyCatIsGettingFat · 17/02/2009 19:09

Boff - we've got you covered... we'll all come in and say nice things about disposables, just cos we like you...

Ooh new thread

Bronze - 9b 14. Wow. I thought DD was big at 8lb 8.5oz. I have often wondered if premature babies are any easy or harder to labour with. I mean obviously they are smaller but do other factors make it harder?

Blimey, I see Oddeyes had an even bigger baby. Looks like we will be having some robust bouncing weights to announce between us.

Clairey - Glad you atre on board.

Kitty - Hooray for another whopping baby.

I got a changing bag wth DD's travel system. It's ugly though so I have used a satchel from Next. I will probably need something bigger once I have two little ladies.
