    Am I the only person who used the Ikea fleece for swaddling?

    If I find a red one I will indeed make red trousers out of it.

    Also, YAY! for baby weight gain and big poop vibes for poor little Finn. I don't envy Aless one bit :eek:

    my blue IKEA fleeces are lining my mattress so it keeps my bed warm, my cream ones are lining the curtains in my bedroom and my red ones are on the sofa for snuggling :cool:

    SB - Aw join Mel & Weezl ;)

    I have taken my Aria out the garage, wiped it down and Febreeze'd it. It's now outside drying out and get an airing - I was surprised at how lightweight it is! Can't wait to use it tomorrow.

    When do people recommend using swivel wheels and locked wheels?

    Beenie - J has started wanting his dummy more but only at night! I think he might be teething again which could explain the nighttime crying

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Oh, is this what you use Ikea fleeces for? I chopped one up to make blankets for the moses basket and cot! But I still have one (pale blue) untouched, I might save that for trousers for Andrew in the future.

    get Marley to save you his pants :)

    Glam I normally have my wheels on swivel, but locked them when the snow was about as it seemed easier to push.

    I'll see if I can get one here - one of my Ikea shelves is broken so has to go back to be replaced and we'll make it a family trip for a fleece, a drink and a hotdog too :j

    V has decided now is the perfect time for a nap - when we have to go out in half an hour.

    Have fun Weezl.

    we use the swivel wheels as it makes the buggy much easier to push. wasnt aware that swivel/fixed should only be used at certain times?

    K only has his soother to fall asleep. DH got him into that habit...bet it will be me who has to stop it though (self indulgant rant)

    Well done Andrew!! 8lbs!!! :j eating obviously agrees with him .do you know yet tigs if you are coming on Tues. fairies are ready to post tomorrow (we had a slight cash flow prob so apologies for not sending them earlier. aless, will get yours posted tomorrow)
