Newborn and baby advice

@ Bundle - are you looking for cartoon type prints and just cotton blends?! There are a couple of spots that I go to for all my material - Lifestyle in Parow (be prepared to wait and deal with extremely rude people though) Hilite in Bellville - they have some cartoon type stuff like Winnie the Pooh etc - but loads of material and new stuff all the time... brilliant service and great prices... Then lastly there are a good couple of material spots in Bellville - Northumberland Road (Behind Toys R Us)... I've been meaning to venture out to town and Woodstock cos apparently there are great material shops there - but time is an issue!

I hear you about getting bored... although I try and get some of my sewing or scrapbooking done in between sleeps... Although that said - the sewing machine and scrapping goodies stay permanantly out on the dining room table!!

Hi ladies, its really getting colder now, thank goodness I have a heater in Connors room.

How is everyone?

@ScribblingAl - good luck for the injections, let us know how they went, good luck to little Emily.

@Claudia & Bundle - I also get quite bored during the day, I find myself warching crap on TV and eating too much, I can't focus on a hobby because Connor takes up too much time and attention so there isn't of real free time for me to do anything productive! In hoping that wil change as he gets a little older!

I got my new phone yesterday, still getting to know it, al excuse the random spelling mistakes.

I will chat again later.

LOL scribblingal, I also feel like a fat middle age women and it doesnt help when hubby is brutally honest - I was maoning that none of my clothes fit on Sunday and he just said that I should exercise if I wanted to loose my belly!

Oh, going for eight-week jabs tomorrow morning. Been dreading it all week.

This big bum still can't fit into my pants, I'm afraid. All my tops look awful too. It's as though I suddenly turned into this fat middle-aged person and I have nothing to wear! You'd think that would motivate me to do some exercise but nooo.... the only exercise I get is working my jaws (talking crap and eating) and fingers (typing).

Got the Angelcare monitor. It's fantastic! Feel so much more secure.

Jacadebra, how're you feeling? I miss your posts.

Thanx Claudia!

Will go check out Foschini then.

Dont worry soon you will fit back into your jeans, about a month ago I tried them on and I couln't close the button it was so tight now it fits just fine I haven't done any exercizing!

I also figure I won't have much time to sew!

Hi Bundle of joy!!!

I know what you mean about getting bored during the day! James is awake most of the day too, so it makes it hard to do anything else. I have been sewing - but its been hard with James. Unfortunately not in CT so cant advise on fabric shops. Is their no Indian area in CT - they always have the best fabric. I get most of my stuff in the centre of Durbs!

As for leggings I saw nice grey warm ones in the window of foshini yesterday - I actually almost went in and bought!

I'm still just not into my clothes yet - they fit, but tightly and not comfortably,its bumming me out a bit because I'm so tired of my liited wardrobe. Went for my first run on the weekend though (I almos died I'm so unfit), so hopefully I can shed those last couple of inches quite quickly!
