We've no time for JSing. We're battling green nappies, sleepless nights, x-box playing men and trying to hide our sling addictions. Fuck it, let's do a runner on a golf cart.

A lovely thread for all the JS Grad Grads to chat feeding, sleep and post-birth STUFF.

Just Shagging 43

Just Shagging Grads 25

Roll call please ladies and perhaps add the number of slings and buggies you have acquired at the time of posting... wink

Name: Boo
Age: 25
DC: 2DD, 29 months and 3 weeks plus one 33 going on 13 DH
Buggies: 1 (The Tank)
Slings: 5... And one that's on holiday here...

Name: Zyla
Age: 37 (which is good as I spent about a month thinking I was 38 a few weeks ago!)
DC: one little girl who's 9 and a half weeks now!
Buggies: one, uppababy vista which is ace
Slings: caboo and I've just ordered this connecta because I have no will power!. The new sling also meant I had to order a pachpack style changing bag in case I'm by myself and want to sling her, so I now have 2 ace changing bags as well, which could be the start of another new addiction/obsession!

Good work Boo. And good work zyla on your connecta buying. I want a full and frank review in a week's time please.

Love a bit of cuntybollocks by the way.

Some lovely lady just gave me her car parking ticket. Love the kindness of strangers.

Name: Pisghetti
Age: 35
DC: 14yr old young man and 3 week old diva
Buggies: one iCandy cherry with a plethora of accessories
Slings: 2 - 1 Moby D stretchy wrap and a Rose&Rebellion baby carrier
Changing bags: 2 but neither suitable for slings so maybe a third will be on the way

Name: Minion
Age:32
Dc:1 little rugrat, 16+1 weeks, currently obsessed with my arm?!?
Accessories: nothing exciting except maybe captain calamari.
Baby carrier x1, but really like the look of that connecta!

My frigging oven is broken.

Aww wil :(. Good excuse for take away?

I currently have the world food mountain of bolognaise in the slow cooker, reckon there's 12 portions in there! I meant to do a freezer stock pile before I had H but hospital got in the way and this is the first time I've been organised and awake enough to sort it since!

pulls up in golf buggy

Good work zyla & sorry about the oven wil, stovetop/microwave meals all the way?

Name: Juni
DC: 1 DD nearly six (6) months old. HTF did that happen?
Slings: five
Buggies: two

Been out to our local wetlands place. Amazing day for it and babyJ coped very well. Went with a friend who LOVES babies and had to battle to hold her much. But hey, it's good for her to get used to other people. She's currently lying on her mat gnawing Sophie. I'm trying not to look at the photos from today. I look DREADFUL.

Oh zyla that connecta is really nice. I like the geometric one, called Estella...which was on the name list, funnily enough!

I ate crisps and biscuits and a banana and a microwave chinese meal

Sounds lovely Juni. Does she sleep a lot whilst you're out? This one crashes out in the fresh air. I also look hideous atm. Need to make a hair appointment.

I'm bored. I should be sorting laundry but I know I'll get screamed at if I put her down.

The estella was one of our possibles :). It should be here tomorrow

excited

Right there with you on the hair wil, although the rate I'm shedding there'll be none left.
It's everywhere.
Literally.
Everywhere.

Name: Ness
Age: 32
DCs: One DS - J aged just over 5 months
Buggies: lovely iCandy Apple 2 Pear which he's just about outgrown the bassinet of - we're going to have to upgrade to the big buggy attachment!!
Slings: 2 that he loathes (moby & baby Bjorn) but I think the connecta looks smashing I need to get me to a sling library!

I've booked a long weekend to a random Balkan country with an NCT friend Had my 4th visit to the bloody post office today to sort out J's passport and it's still not right so I'm now panicking that it's not going to come in time!

Sympathies on the oven Wil!

Genius thread title by the way

Yes, it is a great title.
Holiday with babies and female friend ness? That sounds a bit awesome!

She sleeps about the same amount outside wil, possibly less as there's far too much to look at. God, it was stressful trying to keep Miss Lily-white out of the sun with my friend desperate to carry her round the whole time.

Name: cookielove
Age: 33 (just)
DC: ds 8 months (6 1/2 adjusted)
Slings: 3 but planning to sell 2. Keeping baby Bjorn!
Pushchairs: 1 but may get an umbrella soon as more convenient!

You buggers, moving house without telling me!

Rpopz
29
DS 15+ something (lost count, embarrassingly!)
Pram: 1 - also upgrading to the big boy pushchair attachment this week as the bassinet is ridiculously narrow
Slings: 2 mine, 1 on loan and 1 I'm bidding on on eBay

That connecta is lovely Zy I'm bidding on the Zoology one on eBay. If I don't win it I'm going to get the Dino print one from the Connecta site. I could easily order one in every design tbh Wil - I really recommend them, they're so easy to get on. Not as faffy as most slings. Structured but still soft iyswim. Its basically just one rectangle of fabric that folds under their bum, a waist strap and two shoulder straps that cross at the back.

DS didn't go to sleep til 11.45 last night! I had to wake him up to take him out this morning... little bugger.

I also "need" a backpack style bag to go with my sling... Can't seem to find what I want.

wil I tired to bleach mine the other day in my desperation to go blonde... it's blonde at the ends, blonde at the roots and bright red in the middle, looks gorgeous gonna have to wait till she's going three plus hours between feeds before I can get it fixed though as DH is useless at feeding her from a bottle... unless I can get a mobile hairdresser to work some magic...

Rubbish on the broken oven wil! is the hob still in action or has the whole lot gone?

It was wil's genius title, I can claim none of the credit

got my maternity allowance decision through... now I just have to wait for the first payment to come through as it's a months worth of payments gets out my sling lust list

DH insisted that micro needed a feed earlier, so I fed her and gave her back to him for her to throw the whole lot up over him, didn't stop him then insisting that she must need another feed because she'd now have an empty stomach the answer to everything isn't my boobs and i'm starting to see red every time he brings them up especially as it's always 5 - 10 minutes after I've handed her over to him he is now playing minecraft one-handed with her in the other arm because it's not crossed his mind to use a sling so I'll let him off a bit...

popz Pink lining used to do a probably horrendously overpriced backpack style bag

£80 they also do matching purses... looks like you could fit the kitchen sink in there though...

How are the Connectas for dodgy backs? I even found it sore with the Ergo.

I have the most unsettled baby in the whole of babyland today. Answers on a postcard as to what's wrong.

Hob is working but grill and oven screwed. Hopefully someone will come tomorrow but it's the second time it's died. Scared we'll have to fork out for a new one.

The next thread should just been titled Slings anonymous, you lot have a serious addiction!

Name: Furryscoob
Age: 32 yesterday.
DC: 1 DD 5 months old on Monday
Pushchairs: 1 mini city baby jogger
Slings: None
Changing bags: 2 & I'm already filling them full of crap like my handbag use to be.

Miniscoobs learnt how to pull my glasses off, I'm gonna have to go back to contact lenses before they get bent or licked beyond repair.

popz I just ordered this changing bag to go with the slings, may have not looked at mentioned the price though!

H is horribly i steeled today. She also seems to have discovered sucking her fist...loudly...when she's upset, I'm sure it's not dos she's hungry. Is this normal, just self soothing or discovering her hands? It's really noisy lol
