MERFE

Fuzz I am not dressed either but then I was up at 3am and then went back to sleep. Wanted to take the kids to feed the ducks today so I'm just gonna do it when OH gets home so he can take us now. Will get dressed before then.

I have one pack of maternity pads from asda, then I'll switch to always night pads as well.

Grateful I prefer bepanthan as well but have found the sample tube you get is plenty. DD had nappy rash once when she came home from hospital and a couple of times when she started weaning, I can't remember DS ever having it. I've never used anything else. Calpol for when they have jabs etc we'll already have in the cupboard.

I'm not planning on my waters breaking so I hope they don't early or anything eek.

Oh crap OH is home early, gonna be in trouble we are not dressed eekkk

Personally my 2 never suffered much from nappy rash, but when they did have the odd flare up I switched back to using cotton wool and water instead of wipes, and used some zinc and castor oil cream which is really cheap and very easy to clean off (unlike Sudocreme!) Sorted it out in no time at all.

thank you Giz and Grateful..didnt think anyone had noticed my pics..maybe I should post em bigger next time..?;):p:rotfl:

Auugh so we've put our Bugaboo together (or rather OH has), and it's all a bit complicated..I'm scared that once OH goes back to work I'll forget how the darn thing folds/opens etc and I'll be stuck in the middle of the street with a howling baby (and prob a howling me!)

Please tell me that 'equipment malfunction anxieties' are normal???

(the Bugaboo is beautiful though)

Hi everyone.
Survived the weekly shop in asda this morning, although i'm finding people more rude than ever....maybe its my hormones. Anyway, i picked up a 6 pack of the tommee tippee closer to nature bottles from the baby event, they were down to a fiver and i think thats a bargain. I used them for dd2 after i'd finished breastfeeding and also for when i was topping up my bf's.
Last baby event i bought the manual tommee tippee breast pump, but am now wondering whether to get the electric one for £20 as its a bargain, can't return my unopened manual one tho as i no longer have the receipt.

MV, you will get used to it. It'll become 2nd nature and you'll be opening and closing it in your sleep

Thanks Jo

Can I just ask, is anyone else having a battle with their OH over a name?

The name I really want happens to be my ex boyfriends name, so OH is digging his heels in.

I can understand it, but we just haven't come up with anything else that I really like.

Just had 'words' about it and apparently he is 'distressed' about the whole name thing...sigh.

Anyone got any pearls of wisdom?

My hubby wants to call our baby Jack Daniel if it is a boy and I have been putting my foot down but at the same time I like the names Jack and Daniel and it would please my extended family if we had a biblical name in there......the argument continues there....still haven't decided on a girls name xx

sadly yes! DH made a bet with me before the 20wk scan, that if we were having a girl I could name her with no interference from him. If we were having a boy, then he could name her with no interference from me. He made me, against my better judgement, swear numerous oaths to honour the bet..... Fast forward 17 weeks and he has really started to 'dislike' the name I chose and have been calling DD2 for the last few months and has said it was 'just a silly bet'!!! All of his suggestions are ok, but just, you know, meh. We absolutely cannot agree and have less than 3 weeks to decide.......

As for your DH, I totally agree....I would NOT be happy with DH wanting to call our child after and ex......

No advice except try and forget about the name..I had the same problem although I haven't even suggested the name to OH as I know what the immediate reaction would be:o Besides I figure that the 2 guys I dated(long term) who have that name(yep I liked it that much:p), have kids scattered across my hometown and can't sustain a relationship then I'm not gonna even chance my little one going down the same path! I must add that I place a lot on a name though, the similarities between all the people I know with that name is just too coincidental for my liking:o:)

someone boot me up the backside PLEASE! still gotta wash the pots & sort the paperwork. Gah, I can see me having to do a 'To Do' list for each day of ML just so I don't waste it:rotfl:
