2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[tallybee]

There are soooo many cute girl things too!

My friend has a car seat she said we could use :-D

Yeah the lime does seem big! Just went and checked the ones in the fridge

Hi ladies, just thought I'd drop in with a update. I had a scan today but unfortunately it only measured 6 weeks and no yolk sac or fetal pole

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm sorry to hear that, Babylove! How far along are you supposed to be? Any chance your dates could be off?

Sorry honey

 

[Babylove100]

Thank ladies. I'm pretty sure of my dates and even if I was out by a day or two I'd still be over 7 weeks. I'm just glad I found out now rather than at 12 weeks. Wishing you all healthy and happy pregnancies and hopefully I'll have my rainbow baby soon!!

 

[Hope87]

Ladies... it is so sweet to see how we're now getting excited about our pregnancies! The last few weeks have been a roller coaster. We've shared some exciting moments, but we've also had our share of worry and heartbreak. I'm really happy to see we're getting excited.

I still haven't purchased any "maternity" wear for myself, but today I'm being fitted for two baby carriers! DH and I believe in baby carrying, and we're going to invest in Tula carriers. I think we'll buy one carrier and a conversion ring sling. So excited!

A good friend of ours works at a baby shop, so she's doing our fitting. She is also trying to convince us to "go cloth" (cloth diapers)...but I just can't. Even though they are so cute and have really changed over the years, I just cannot imagine being able to do all that work with a newborn. Pampers Swaddlers brand for me! hahahaha

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm so sorry. I wish you fast healing and a rainbow as soon as possible! I'm sure we all cannot wait for you to drop in and let us know you got your sticky BFP!

 

[GingerPanda]

Hope, I'm totally intimidated by cloth diapering too! You'll have to let me know how you like your carriers. I want one!

 

[tallybee]

I would love to say I'd be using cloth but there's just no way. Was going to with baby no.1 but it didn't happen for various reasons. Babies are enough work without adding nappy washing. Lol xx

 

[3boys]

I love baby wearing as well. It makes life so much easier and newborn cuddles in a stretchy or ring sling are amazing. I used cloth nappies for my 5 th baby but they didn't work so well for me. Lots of poop explosions so I went back to disposable on my 6th

EXACTLY ladies! There is just no way. I won't have the time. I'll already be overwhelmed with having a newborn at home.

GingerPanda, the tula carriers are FANTASTIC! I have a number of friends that use them and love them. In fact, they don't even use a stroller anymore because they love baby wearing so much. You can check them out here: https://www.tulababycarriers.com

You will need a fitting before your baby bump gets too big. They have some great gender neutral designs too.

Oh Babylove, I'm so sorry hunnie

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Awww how cute is this Sleepsuit??? https://www.next.co.uk/x554796s4

I love that suit ^^^ tried to buy it when we first found out but it is unavailable on the Australian next site

awww no, i could get it for you and ship??? just cover the costs? x

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I bought loads of Cloth for my daughter... i even made cloth nappies!!! she was a lot smaller than i anticipated so the nappies i had were miles too big for her, so bought disposables...

Tried to use them again when she actually fitted in them, but it was no good, i was use to the quickness, easiness of the disposables

But i did manage to breastfed her for 10months, so I at least accomplished one thing

WRAPS: I did have a pink wrap thing, it was like a Moby wrap. I used it a few times with my daughter, but it just wasn't for us. She seemed comfy in it and it felt ok, but i felt bit top heavy and although i felt fine walking about when pregnant, it seemed even more scary to carry her freehand in the wrap lol Maybes i just needed the confidence in knowing she was safe etc

CARSEATS: are a nightmare, there so bulky and big. My 7 year old still has a booster, because he's not at the weight limit for going without one! I need to buy a new carseat and base, had the Maxi cosi Pebble and Isofix familyfix base (you can attach the next group 2-3 seat on the base), glad we upgraded our car as i don't think we would of managed having 2 isofix bases and a booster seat in our old 5 seater car

BLANKET: this is the blanket i bought my daughter: https://www.borndirect.com/gear/bedding/blankets+swaddling-blankets/stokke/xplory-knitted-blanket?v1=Purple+and+Orange&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=feed&gclid=Cj0KEQjwuI-oBRCEi87g0K3O8OoBEiQAb25WATB6UwjpXh33Z2yFP8WHPKd-XgYgIMpx5SocRdM8QbUaAv2U8P8HAQ

I love Purple!!! but not sure you could class it as a Gender neutral blanket lol
