***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

[Mom 2B]

Well as of today I have finally finished washing, sorting, folding, and putting away all of my baby boys clothes. Most of it was hand me downs of all sizes but now I notice I have WAY to many hats, socks and bibs. And not enough sleepers and outfits for 0-3months. Do you guys think 20 onesies are enough??? I can't remember how many I had for my girl.

I'm still unsure on how many 0-3 month or even 3-6 month onesies I should have because I have no clue how big/small the baby will be as well as how fast she'll grow out of it.

This doesn't really answer your question lol sorry.

 

[Mom 2B]

well i was kinda thinking that seeming as we are having winter babies they will probably wear onsies under all the sleepers and outfits for the first 3 months atleast. But if baby gets sick it should only be the sleeper or outfit I should need to change. Now dirty diapers are a different story cuz ill need to change both onsie and outfit if the diaper explodes!!!! LOL I hope 20 will be enough cuz im telling ppl i dont need anymore.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing! I want to stock up on long-sleeved white onesies to throw on under anything, just for warmth...

I'm thinking if we have a bad day, 5 onesie changes? maybe? I DONT KNOW! haha! on a good day fewer changes... laundry every 3 days.... so 20 sounds good to me!

 

[sar35]

woo smiffy 2weeks and 2days til maternity leave! and woo for dtd, we've not been able to do it since 16weeks! although dr said if placenta had moved we could ( but I dont have to tell OH LOL)
Anyone elses mood changing, i've been in a seriously bad mood for 2days and I dont know why, scared prob, worried about money, life changing etc, am i returning to work etc etc hope to snap out of it soon though as its boring me lol

Super nanny says 6 if you do a wash every other day. I've got loads more though.

 

[jms895]

Mom2B I have about 20 vests and 25 outfits/sleep suits

Love all the whiteness!

Suppose it depends on how often you want to wash too

Super nanny says 6 if you do a wash every other day. I've got loads more though.

But how many kids does super nanny have? Being a professional nanny is totally different to having your own kids! As you might realise, I can't stand the woman, find her terribly smug and know-it-all

I've got erm, too many sleepsuits. I've got boring multi-pack type ones for night time and posh ones for daytime - I'll probably only bother getting her dressed properly if we go out. Although George has a whole display of pretty dresses that are tempting me lol. The problem is if madam comes in time for the festivities or the first couple of weeks of January, there's loads of occaisions that she could be dressed up. But if she comes later (when I expect ) then all the birthdays etc are done with and they'll be wasted.

Sar It's understandable you're going to be a bit anyhow atm, pregnancy is bad enough with all the hormones without all the in and out of the hospital etc you've had x x

Well, I have the rug to start & finish, more felt butterflies to make, another cushion to finish, my knitted blanket to finish and a cardigan to knit! But I am so tired at the moment my motivation is zero! I just had a shower, cleaned bathroom and walked dog and I am shattered! Bed needs making, dishwasher emptying and reloading and clean clothes putting away and I just cannot be bothered! Apartment looks like a bomb site, think I'm gonna have to ask hubby to help me out at weekend, he'll love that! So in answer to ur nursery question - lots of projects, no energy to do them! How about you?

I'm done painting the frames for the nursery, just need the photos to put in them now. I decorated a clock to match the theme and I'm in the process of adhering butterflies to the wardrobe and chest of drawers to make them look like like flying up. I'm not going to make the rug as I won't have enough time to finish it, too many other things going on.

I agree - ladies you aren't bragging. Disney, ur OH has an awesome job and he must be really good at it too. Hodbert, similarly, your OH is so good that they've put him stateside to do it - he's gotta be pretty good at his job too. It's not even on the same scale but I really admire my OH - he's a care assistant at a nursing home. He earns virtually nothing but he cares for the elderly and always talks about them with such affection - I'm a teacher and I couldn't do his job at all. I earn the money in our house (what little there is in teaching) but he loves his job and the people he works with (staff and the elderly people themselves) adore him and he's good at what he does so I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm sure LO will be happier with a daddy who loves his job and is happy. At least I hope so and that's what I keep telling myself - to be totally honest, I'm a little worried about our finances (or lack of) and it's taken me a while to decide that we're better off as we are instead of me trying to push him into something he'll hate. That doesn't mean I'm not proud of him - I am - I just worry about money. Why can't we all just earn money doing what we love? Having said that, I can't see anyone paying me to eat chocolate, read and surf BnB.

LittleMrs, I really admire your DH and you're right if he does something that he loves you will have a much happier family for your LO. As I've mentioned, I homeschool my son and don't earn an income and although we struggle we wouldn't change it for anything!

woo smiffy 2weeks and 2days til maternity leave! and woo for dtd, we've not been able to do it since 16weeks! although dr said if placenta had moved we could ( but I dont have to tell OH LOL)

Hahaha Sar, naughty girl, if only your OH knew Your moods are understandable. It's probably also because you're bored at home and have nowhere to release your frustration. Not long and you'll be so preoccupied you won't even remember the moods, lol.

Well I'm to take my son to piano lessons and then out for the afternoon. When I get back I'll probably have another 5 pages to read, lol.

to all the JJ's

Morning girlies!

I'm in a quandary today! Do I do the housework or should I start unpacking the bits for the cot and look at putting maybe putting some bits together. I feel a bit bad about doing that without OH here but he's been so busy with work and either working late or coming home so knackered he's asleep by 7:30. I really want to do some baby stuff today.....

 

[emilyp83]

Oooooh! And I just noticed I'm onto the second from last box on my baby sig thingy!!

 

[jojo-m]

Not sure how to link the thread but I'll try old copy and paste!

jojo - what a lovely nursery. Its gorgeous. Your little lady will love it so much Love the butterflies.

 

[Kirsty H]

Jo-jo-m your nursery is absolutely beautiful! It must be great to have it all finished. I'm a bit jealous as my hubby is only just about to start painting ours this weekend, then we have to get a new carpet before the furniture arrives on the 7th Dec. A bit frustrating, as I can't even wash baby's clothes, bedding etc as there is nowhere to put them!

 

[sar35]

beautiful nursery. I love it!

 

[lovealittle1]

Hi ladies. My mojo is outta control. I can never seem to get enough. As for dreams. I am also a dreamer and remember my dreams every night. Most of my dreams have been negative dreams about DH and mine’s relationship. I haven’t had a dream in ages! I probably have about 15 onesies and maybe 5 sleepers. Not sure if that is enough or not but I am getting bored of gender neutral stuff so I am waiting until arrives now so I can buy gender specific items. It will give me an excuse to get out of the house in January and hopefully all the sales will be on and the mall will be dead because Christmas will be over. I only have 13 work days left

 

[naomicourt]

Awww what a gorgeous nursery jojo!! Fit for a princess. Your little girl is going to love it in there.

If that is or isn't why your feeling down hun just wanted to send This will be a much happier time of year for you in the end, by January you will be holding this baby. You won't forget the one you lost but this one will have you on

Sure things will get lots easier when the baby comes out and you have your body back xx
