Isis just rolled from her back to her tummy and pulled her arm out from under her so she was fully on her tummy! She's been so close for a couple weeks now but couldn't figure out how to get her arm out. :happydance:

We're still on 2's but once we run out of what we have she'll be moving to 3's. I can't believe Lizzie's still in 1's too!
 
I just go up a size when thru fe that bit tight around belly and legs etc. We are on size 3 here, too. Find Asda little angels brand just as good as pampers, but half the price! And that's coming from someone that always bought pampers, and I still find their great. Just cheaper to get asda!

Went fruit picking today and got some gorgeous raspberries and strawberries as well as veg for dinner. Works out cheaper than shopping for it :) can you tell we are cutting back here?!

Finding it hard work at the mo with both kids, if it's not one, it's the other. Both want my attention and I can't go to soft play without anyone else as Jake still isn't safe to be left alone due to drops and his clumsiness. Argh! And the house is always messy, washing is ridiculous now theres 4 of us in a tiny house! Sorry, end of rant, I promise!!!

Cannot believe our babies are all around or nearing the 4 month mark!!!
 
wow lizzies still in size 1's! we're going into size 4 here!

alex went to his first outdoor concert last night! :D, he was a star and went to sleep half way through :haha:

xx
 
Dana, I'd get size 2 the next time you need to buy dipes. Not a big difference between 1 and 2 in my opinion and this way you won't have to rush through them like I am.

I keep mostly size 2 in the dipe bag since my mom prefers to use those and that's what gets taken to her house.

We have about a dozen cloth wipes. Not enough to use full time but i do use them as much as I can when using cloth. Mostly I just wet with warm water but I do have Bum Genius diaper spray that I use if it's messy. When we go to cloth full time I'll probably just buy some cheap baby washcloths and put a spray bottle of water in the diaper bag instead of storing them wet. We have a travel wet bag that we'll use to store dirty wipes and dipes.

I might have to fight you for the sleeping baby tonight! It's going to be another late night because of Ramadan dinner (have to wait until sundown to eat, DH doesnt fast but his family does).

Lizzie is wearing her first pair of jeans today and looks adorable. I'll snap a pic and post it later. Hate that you can't upload forum pics from iPhone.
 
Ive also heard great things about Target brand dipes for those in the states.
 
I made my wipes from terry and flannel before Isis was born. I have a large stash of fabric :blush: I have like 40 of them. I didn't know how many to make. I made up a solution with baby oil, baby wash, tea tree oil, water and lavender oil. We had an extra spray bottle so I put it in there and just spray a few wipes every time. I want to bring the spray bottle and the wipes with us but I'm trying to limit myself to 1 check luggage for both me and Isis as well as a carry on suitcase. We'll see how that works...

I'll have to try the target brand. I have so many coupons (manufacturer and target) for the name brands that I haven't had to pay full price for any diapers yet but I'll check them out when I do.

I hope both our babies sleep tonight!
 
Oh god ladies I'm about to snap. I'm upstairs in tears.
Weekends are usually my mornings off. Toby will wake up, OH will take him downstairs and I get to catch up on sleep.

Today, Toby woke up at 4 and OH decided that he deserved a lie in. So he slept til 8:30.
We had a busy day and I fed Toby when we got home and got him to bed. He kept waking up so I was up and down the stairs settling him down again... All the while OH was watching a movie on tv instead of ironing his work shirts and doing the bottles.
Then I sat down for a breather and logged onto facebook, at which point OH asked me to iron his shirts and do Tobys bottles so he could go for a bath. When I reluctantly said yes, he went to the loo, came back and threw a huge strop because I hadn't finished on the laptop yet...
He accused me of being lazy and pulled out that classic line "well I actually work for a living"

I'm livid! How dare he!! I spend 24hrs a day, EVERY day looking after our son. I get up at 4am while he sleeps. I settle him while he watches movies. I comfort him when he's screaming the house down. When I'm ill, I'm there for Toby. When im cooking the dinner, im there for toby. When it's too hot and OH is in his air conditioned office, I'm sweating like a pig and I'm running around doing housework and I'm still there for toby.
But no. I don't do anything because I DON'T GO TO WORK.

So sorry! :hugs: to you! I consider being a mommy a FULL TIME JOB! My DH doesn't take what i do for granted anymore b/c i left him with BOTH girls for like 6 hours while i went shopping and out to eat with friends! When i got back he was relieved and has never said anything else about who works around our house...I see the only difference is i don't get paid money to do what i do lol
 
:hugs: cottleston. Being a full time stay at home mom has got to be one of the most thankless jobs. I think DH needs to be left alone for a few hours with LO and I bet he'd change his tune!!
 
I was literally going to say the same thing. You HAVE to leave him one day with Toby, all day.Alone!

Men are very simple creatures and this species isn't well known for multi-tasking. They are often found residing on the couch doing arm exercises, in the form of remote control lifting. Or sleeping in their pit.

So he really needs to have Toby but not just look after him, but do the usual housework chores, cook dinner, even go out for walks etc. I had to do this with OH as he wasn't spiteful, but didn't realise the sheer amount I had to do each day to keep the family fed, and house free from disaster. Gawd, I hate that line men throw, that they have a job etc etc. Cheek of it! Hope he comes to his senses soon and gives you a break -
 
I agree to all of the above!! I do everything for Isis but DH takes care of the house for the most part (we both work outside the house).
You need to leave Toby home alone with him for a day!
 
i agree! one day just tell dh you're going out with friends and leave him there. every time my dh then says how hard it was to take care of her for the day i remind him of all the times he told me how easy of a job it would be to stay home with her.
 
Oh my...I just did my hair and now i'm worried :shock: My highlights were growing out so i colored it back to my original color ( i have done this before) However, they didn't have the color i usually use so now i'm afraid its gonna be too dark!!! LOL Maybe i will most a pic after its dry :winkwink:
 
too cute! post a picture when your hair dries. It always seems darker until your hair dries!
 
I ordered a photo of aleena (the one in my siggy) 24 x 32 inch! (only $20)
