Hi girls
My name's Nat and I'm already a nappyholic.
Even though our little boy won't be here for another 3 months.
I've been making a few posts on this board recently, but thought I'd come into this thread and properly say hi and introduce myself.
I'm Nat(alie), I'm 33 and married to Peter. We've been married for 3 years, and this will be our first baby (we had one miscarriage prior to this pregnancy). We like to live a pretty simple life, which includes trying to mitigate our footprint and keep things natural, and we want to approach parenthood in the same way. So hopefully I'll be hanging out in this forum quite a bit and getting some advice from you guys that have BTDT.
I've always intended to use real nappies, though not all of our family have been that supportive,
Actually that just makes me even more determined to prove the sceptics wrong.
Its ridiculous how excited I am about his nappies already, and I've just started gathering a stash. So far I've bought one bambino mio (I know they don't get great reviews, but it was new and only £1 so I couldn't resist!), 2 bamboozles, 4 wraps, 6 popolinis, 2 FB, 2 wonderoos, and a diddy diaper. So far everything's been either preloved or a superbargain, so I think I'm going to keep that restriction at least until he's here and we know what suits him. Nothing full-priced. Ok, well maybe a naughty baby, but that's a bargain anyway.
So just wanted to say hello properly and it seemed like a good time to take the time to write a post, as I've been pretty 'stuck' the last couple of days with really really bad sacroiliac pain.
It's been waxing and waning and I'm waiting to hear about a physio appointment, but yesterday and today have been really awful. I'm self-employed and run an ebay shop, so it's not as straightforward as calling in sick, and it's frustrating not being able to work because I can't even sit down. I just hope I'll be able to get something done tomorrow. Meanwhile, I may as well make the most of the 'time off', so lots of online time.
I've also started loom knitting and have been making little boy some hats, am working on a cocoon at the moment, and want to try making some legwarmers, though I have no idea about sizing on those yet.
Trying to use the time productively.
Ok enough rambling.
