Mommies - April 2014

Hi ladies

I am still following you on email alerts. Good to see everyone is doing good.

Although I am not preparing, I could not stop reading the list for hospital. thank you Sterretjie, very interesting and will surely be needing it next year.

I am doing ok under circumstances. had a really bad day on Tuesday at work, but its getting better I suppose. Last night I started taking all my filing and craft stuff out of the baby room's cupboards and cleaned it nicely to put in the diapers we had already bought and the stuff from the seminar and bottles.

I was ok until hubby said its time to come down now. so then I just wanted to sit there for another while. I am still planning on renovating the babies room during December holidays...seeing that I will be pregnant next year and then cant do the painting myself.

We decided to still go on honeymoon December as we just had a little vacation after the wedding. I don't know where we are going, so are actually looking forward to that very much.

I am missing everyone so much. missing my tummy being so big and also missing the feeling of being pregnant.
I will always feel that I'm a April mommy tho. hope its ok..

Will be going to the DR on 24.12 to see if my pregnancy levels are back at 0.

It need to be before you can try again. so doing a preg test this time will be different.

I read a lot of post about getting pregnant with twins again and also if you should wait or not. and how long. we really want a baby so bad, so don't want to wait to long, but also don't want to have a risk.

Excited for everyone and will keep on reading your post until the end. always thinking of you and thank you once again for all your support.

much love friends

MommyMe

Good Morning

Sterretjie, thank you for your list, made me laugh at some of the points!!

I use mother nature, love them, but will buy eco nappy for the new one, just to add to my stash that I've got
www.econappysolutions.co.za/
I love the covers for the eco nappy

I used Baby Sunlight soap
But now I use a biodegradeble soap, only available through an agent.

Have a look at doodlebums website, they have a comparison on nappies on there

Still getting use to the little Boy that is growing in my tummy. But I am excited
His name will be John-Petrus, he will be called JP
John for my uncle that past away few years ago and Petrus for my Husband

Have a great Day

I really have no experience with this. i think all of them work really well its just made of different material.
i really do not know if some of them work better or not.
i have 3 friends using cloth nappies, and all of them have very different types of nappies and all of them says that if works really well and is very easy.

hope this helps.

Thank you StellaK, quick question...Which is the best between micro fibre and teh normaal clothing one. I see micro fibre is way cheaper and my assumption is that it should be better than the other one.

Good morning mammas,

Sterretjie, wow, that is quite a list. sound like there must be some careful planning in packing for the hospital.
why do you need the saline nose drops?

Jay, congrats on booking your bed. thing are moving along now.

Makat, I bought the Bam+Boo bamboo nappies (they also have a micro fibre range) other brands that i have heard very good things about is mother nature, fancypants, snugglybum.
i still need to get some soap though. a friend of mine uses 'sunlight baby sensitive' on her cloth nappies. you can get that at pick n pay/checkers.

our medical aid do not want to do authorization so long before the birth.
so now we have to get temporary authorization to book the hospital bed and then closer to the time do everything again.
we will book the bed that first week in Jan.

Pardon my short memory ladies, which cloth nappies brands did you say i can consider, i see some Bambino Mio on kindarelo web...I really need to start buying now. The soaps you also mentioned for washing them where do i buy...Jay, Hasie and Goggatjies i think you were the ones talking about this

Good morning ladies.

Wow Sterretjie, thanks for the detailed list, I had also added and I pod when i went to deliver my son and it came in handy for those times when i wanted to ignore the "tannie" next to me for a chit chat

@Jay I am fine and growing big.

At StellaK I will upload the pic on whatsapp as soon as I take one.

How is everyone doing?

Pregnant fairy and Hasie hope you are okay, we miss you a lot since you are not on whatsapp with us.

I am missing Mommyme and Santie today
