Sorry ladies, been here reading and lurking

Rachael, I don't think it's going to be long for you or Cass now. Didn't Andrea have the leaking for a few days before Josephine made an appearance. I'm thinking in the next few days Would be lovely to see your new babies when they are born. Remember, we will want updates

Ysa, sorry the witch is hanging on for you.

AFM onto cycle 25 and we've been told we need to wait yet another cycle before we can start the next ICSI so drugs start end of Dec/New Year for us.

I do believe that in 25 cycles I could have had an elephant by now

Edit, yep 22 months for an elephant

 

[cranberry987]

Ouch. Elephant baby would destroy you in the way out. Better adjust your expectations there. Human baby for you, no elephant baby!

Think I'm a bit tired. That made me piss myself laughing

 

[Traskey]

You are defo tired and working far too hard for a heavily prego woman this week. That and a distinct lack of sleep last night. Me thinks you may have the crazies my friend

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol Cran!

Trask - good vibes for a 2012 baby - new year new start!

Still feeling sore, have been since Sunday. Not developed into anything though so we'll see

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hey, ladies...
nothing much to say...
just soooo tired today, ds has been waking up at 5:45 and I can't really handle it.
to all!

ericka, I gave that rocker to my friend who gave it to me when her LO grew out of it….she sleeps in it sometimes as well as her bassinet and her bouncer…they can get that head disease from sleeping flat on their backs.

yay cran for natural inducing agents…I hope the hypno birthing works…

vicki…you have to post pics of your nursery…can't wait to see it!!

AFM…my nipples are DYING. I am expressing more to get a break and Josie is now taking the pacifier…Josie had a leaky poo that got all over the boppy pillow through the slip cover. Washing it now…she has also peed and spit up on everything. Frustration!! My clothes all smelt like her pee and she peed while I was changing her onto the couch!! AWE!!! We need to get a new couch anyways…one that is waterproof!!

 

[cranberry987]

A lot from the course has worked already. Fear release exercises about him
Getting stuck, I don't worry about that now. I'm more able to shrug off negative comments. Also the mp3s put me to sleep so I'm sure they'll be v relaxing

Sounds like the washing machines gonna be running constantly for a while are the boppy pillows good? Was looking at either one if those or a my breast friend, whichever I can get second hand basically!

 

[babydustcass]

awwwww bless you Andrea, sounds like a poo, pee and puke fest! Lovely jubbly hehehe

 

[truthbtold]

Andrea sounds like your enjoying motherhood lol. This time I swore not to buy any white onsies its almost impossible to get baby formula throw-up stains out. It may be the same with breast milk too because now that I think about it the white onesies my cousin past down to me had stains too.

I think I am going to pass on my fisher price rocker, Im scared now of the what if's.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awww, pee and poop and spit-up!! Yay for mommyhood!!!

I don't know how to get spit-up stains out of clothes but I plan to find out. I didn't care so much with DS, but I'm sure there's some sort of solution, whether with baking soda or peroxide or something that probably gets it out... someone mentioned it somewhere... I'm gonna find it on this world wide web! Why deal with stains if you don't have to, you know?

Haha with Thomas, we got a bunch of hand-me-downs from my SIL and I asked her about what age her son stopped spitting up (because I felt like Thomas was still spitting up a lot). And she said, Oh, he never really spit up that much. But I KNEW she was lying because everything she had passed down to us had a great big spit-up stain on it!!

Don't know anything about the my breast friend, but I looooved my (loaner) boppy and will be buying a new one. Might not bother with the cover if poop goes right through it, though. Even if you don't bf, it's really handy for holding the baby up a little higher for feeding.

 

[cranberry987]

I've got some napisan which was great on one stain. Not sure if you can use on non whites tho

 

[AmaryllisRed]

See, that's kind of what I was thinking-- that if you buy whites, it will show up more but you can use stronger cleaners to get it out. Sort of like how hotel towels are always white so they can bleach them-- at least, that's what I always figured.
Probably wouldn't be a good idea to bleach baby clothes, though... never heard of napisan but there's probably something similar here in the US.
Oh, and I feel like the baby detergent isn't as good at cleaning in general. For awhile, I only bought that kind and used it on my and dh's clothes, too, and it didn't really do anything.

 

[babydustcass]

You can use Napisan on colours too cran We used it a whole lot with DS, and his clothes were perfect for resale on ebay when we were done with them. I think the only thing that was stained was an outfit he'd leaked through with a big runny poop and we'd left in a nappy bag for a few days as it'd fallen out of the nappy bag and gone under the seat. Even washing quickly doesnt solve the problem, the napisan was really a good buy

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ooh... sounds great... can I get that in the States?
I think it was my cousin who said she had some magic solution she used on all her baby's stuff but I don't know what it was and we don't really talk that often...

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Just thinking about all my STC girls tonight...
sending to all of you, in your various states of mommyhood, bumpiness, ttc...
Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[DrGomps]

what is napisan???

I want to see if the boppy pillow has a cover that IS water proof…luckily we got the poo out. I LOVE the boppy…its a must have…honestly. If you FF or BF. I think the spit up is coming out of the things…the poo, though, thats another story.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Looked up napisan and looks like you can get it at safeway or walmart... I'm assuming it's a stain remover you can use on baby stuff?

Anyone heard from Logan? She had an appt today... hope she's okay...
