I'm planning on using disposables for the first 4 weeks (plus I've already been given 4 packs by my cousin who had her baby at the end of last feb as she bought too many and isn't planning on having any more anytime soon so she gave them to me as she knew we were going to be trying) they're in date till the end of 2014 so I have enough time left on them... If I haven't conceived by the end of this year I'll pass them in to a local nursery or baby group??

I'll use disposables for a few days to let the meconium pass through and and start to feel a bit less exhausted.

Cloth nappies are lot bulkier than disposables. This is why I hope I manage to make some newborn so I can use Zorb fabric to make them trimmer.

Rachel, I saw this tatty teddy stuff while looking for something else. Not sure if you have seen it here before or if it is any usel but I thought I'd pass it on.

I like tatty teddy, it is a nice relaxing theme and the sort of room you would want to spend time in.

I wish I had not looked at more things. Normally I don't like expensive nursery packages but I love this. Can't afford it but it is so nice.

ooh thats lovely... have you had a look on ebay to see if someone is selling it?

The only thing i am unable to find is a cot mobile so I'm thinking of buying one of these:

and just cutting the winnie and piglet off and exchanging it for tatty teddies?

I wouldnt buy a new one, probably find a used one on ebay??

It is all about £850 new so even second hand would be out of our budget. We budgeted for Ikea furniture. Since we got almost no use out of DS1's cot and the changing table was never used I know I will be happier in the long run buying for less from Ikea though.

DH said he liked the nautical theme! I do want these two things though but don't think it is worth getting them shipped from America. I wish they had a Pottery Barn in the UK.

That would work. I think there are a few neutral teddy ones that would fit the theme. I am surprised they don't make one though, it seems that they have a musical toy for cots rather than traditional mobiles.

That stuff is lovely, I do wish pottery barn was over here too, I love it... I saw a lampshade on there for one of our rooms a while ago but I wasnt prepared to pay £18 for shipping!!

I know, I emailed them a while ago to ask if they might make one in the future but they said its not in any future product lines which is strange as they do cot bedding

I'm not sure how it fairs with tax and duty when it gets here either. That has caught me out before. I love Pottery Barn and I wish they would go international.

It does seem odd. I knew they did cot bedding and wall stickers and stuff like that but I had never seen the car seat before.

 

[CakeCottage]

Yeah, they don't take that into account with their initial price do they!
They brought them out a couple of years ago, do a buggy aswell!

Omi, saw this and thought of you

Annoyed... My itti!a came but they didn't send tutto's like I ordered, they sent one tutto and 2 large d'lish's... Grrr x

 

[wellsk]

Ahh no! What a pain! Who did you buy them off?
Hopefully they can change them?

 

[sarahfh]

Joing for the chatter, hopefully I can join with the TTCing later this year!

 

[wellsk]

Hi Sarah!
Hope you're okay!

 

[CakeCottage]

I bought them off precious little one... I rang them they're sending them out and sending a SAE to send these back... Silver tutto looks great though!
Hi Sarah xx

 

[wellsk]

Ahh that's good! The Silver itti tuttos are beautiful colour aren't they?
How is your cycle getting on sweet?

 

[sarahfh]

Hi
I have the silver d'lish, I looooove the colour so much! Maybe even more than the Gerry print...
Want the Bumgenius Freetime in Albert and Lovelace next, my friend has had great success with them and just one bamboo booster on her super wetter so that gives me hope haha!
I need to prioritise new work clothes before nappies for now though boooo!

 

[wellsk]

Damn work! It always gets in the way doesn't it?!

Both Rach (CakeCottage) and I have brought the Albert nappy, although mine's a Flip one. But it's really pretty and I'll be able to use it as a wrap for my tots bots fluffles too
I'm getting a bit addicted to buying nappies at the moment, I blame you Sarah and Rach!

 

[sarahfh]

Hehe sorry! Seems to be a habit here, got my friend hooked on cloth too! Oops! She has the Albert and Lovelace so I've seen them in person and love them

I wish the obsession stopped at nappies but I have pram, car seat, cot, changing table, drawers, nappy storage, monitor and nursery set up all planned in my head! Helps with saving goals though
