BSRB Friday! (almost the weekend!)

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

Morning all!

How is everyone this morning? I am being attacked by child and will return shortly...

[treala05]

Good morning! Has everyone recovered from last night's stocking? :giggle2:

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

So DS comes downstairs this morning and says "What's under pajama's?"

I dunno Aaron, what's under your pajamas?

"A BUTT HAT" he shouts with excitement :giggle:

He was wearing a wool cover :giggle2:

[MelG]

Hello! I didn't get anything from the stocking yesterday, but I'd love to hear what everyone else scored.

What is everyone doing this weekend? Any fun Valentine plans?

[MelG]

"Butt hat"--that's cute! I love the things kids come up with. They can usually describe things better than I could. When I helped my dd down a slide the other day at the park, I shocked her a bit and she said "Mommy, I just sparkled!"

[pennybelly]

hello ladies :wave:

shannon - are you feeling better today?

the stocking was fun last night. i was online for only a short while though. a sweet mama helped me stalk the pooh and friends print. i am super excited!

I got a TIAN that I am going to try with DD...DH might die if he knew how much it cost...still beats the $45/50 it costs to have both kids in sposies at night....in 2 months it would make up for the cost of 2 TIAN (I need to gather another if this one works).

Valentines plans...dunno?

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

hello ladies :wave:

shannon - are you feeling better today?

the stocking was fun last night. i was online for only a short while though. a sweet mama helped me stalk the pooh and friends print. i am super excited!

I am doing okay! Thanks for asking. My ears are all stuffed up but I can breathe and swallow etc so I am mostly normal...PLUS I managed to get 8 hours of sleep only waking once to pee :giggle2: DD slept 9 hours straight.

[MegsMom]

Morning ladies. Kiddos are at school today for thier v-day parties. SO, mommy has the house to herself for once. That never happens. Usually I am at work when they are at school. So, I am going to do some power cleaning and then go shopping sans kiddos :)

I didn't get anything last night. The PP well is dry :( Trying to decide which diapers to sell..I really don't need all these different types. I will see

Okay, off to start cleaning. Will check in here and there..I know you will miss me :giggle:

[aranel7]

So DS comes downstairs this morning and says "What's under pajama's?"

I dunno Aaron, what's under your pajamas?

"A BUTT HAT" he shouts with excitement :giggle:

:roflmbo:
That was a great start to the morning :giggle:

Rock on Miss Ivy!! Isn't it a delight when you wake up and realize that NO ONE has woken in the night?

I thought I'd have time to post but I guess Juliana doesn't want to allow it :banghead: I'll BBL.

[MelG]

Glad some of you were able to get the diapers you were wanting!

Shannon, yay to feeling better! We just finished our nighttime stash (though not BSRBs), and it is so nice to not have to worry about buying or running out of disposables for that. Its also nice not to have to worry as much about him waking up soaking wet, since he was leaking out of all his sposies overnight! Let us know how the TIANs work out for you!

[pennybelly]

we're still using sposies at night. i do it only because i don't want the girls to be uncomfortable in a wet diaper. it probably wouldn't bother them all that much but i know i wouldn't want to sleep in wet underpants :blush: oh well.

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

I need to shower...that seems like a lotta work...

[mommyshanti]

good morning ladies
my daughters school is having a dance tonight so we'll go to that i dont know what this weekend me andhoney dont have babysitter so maybe a movie and drink when kids r in bed
ok so went to ukrops yesterday and got some organci apples i usually cant afford many things organicv as i spend over$600 a month on food anyways but these were on sale$1.45lb cheaper than the reg.ones so grabbed a bunch
anyway they had a bunch of pamphlets on soy,vegetarians, and BIOENGINEERED FOOD
yeah i no this is old news but i never really knew which foods they did
i understadn they are taking dna from others plants and ANIMALS to maek food easier to grow but doesnt that just sound creepy?
they already put animal DNA in immunizations now theri putting it in our food:banghead: but the part that gets me is they dont have to label it our fantastic FDA has said it is safe and no matter your beliefs you dont have to be told:banghead:
i just feel like everything has a time to live and die plants,animals,people and i dont want to be crazy scientist creating or destroying that life
i feel like im living in a sci-fi movie and no matter how healthy i try to eat it doesnt matter cuz they can alter it any way they want and not tell us
oh and europe does not accept our bio eng. food:headscratch: wonder why
ok heres are the food on their list
tomatoes,peas,peppers,broccoli,rasberries,melons,c offee,apples,cucumbers,potatoes,wheat,soybeans,gra pes, theirs more the list is long
and what about organic foods? they are w/o the use of pesticide,hebicides,fungicides but is it w/o bio engineering????
anyone lese creeped out or im one of those crazy people

[serendipity10410]

we're still using sposies at night. i do it only because i don't want the girls to be uncomfortable in a wet diaper. it probably wouldn't bother them all that much but i know i wouldn't want to sleep in wet underpants :blush: oh well.

Hi mamas! i am just jumping in here because i feel it is my duty to tell you that if you put a fleece liner in the diaper against her skin, she will be dry and she won't be sitting in a disposable, unable to "breathe" all night. Just my :2cents:

I'll bbl... x woke up with a red bum again from the :yuck: sickness, and he's not a happy camper this morning :cry:

[starla79]

Awww, poor X. :( I do hope you figure out what's making his tummy so unhappy.

People have been genetically engineering foods (plants *and* animals) for years through selective breeding/pollination. I don't see genetically engineering them through gene manipulation to be that much different. It's still an apple, or a fish. Think of it this way... if you GE a vegetable so it resistant to a certain disease, that means less chemicals are being dumped on it to prevent it from getting that disease (and those chemicals aren't becoming part of the soil, and water table, and you're not consuming them), then which is worse? There are upsides and downsides of everything, i worry more that these people who are growing GE crops are suing adjacent farmers when their plants cross-pollinate and they don't have a 'license' to grow the GE product... that's freakin' ridiculous if you ask me.

D was up all night nursing and crying... i don't know what his problem was but it was not a happy night. But apparently he managed to sleep well through it all and was the happiest little guy this morning. Don't ask me why. I know *I'M* not that happy.

Whoever posted that link to fuffles, i need to kick your ***. I am seriously drooling over everything on there... you are so lucky those earth shorties are way too big for D. :P

[starla79]

We use 1 sposie every night too. I just can't stand the stink in the morning when we've used cloth.

LOL, I always think sposies stink way worse in the morning than cloth. Do you have hard water? Have you tried stripping? Because i noticed when ours get stinky giving them a dose of calgon clears it up for a little while.

[amyrenee]

A BUTT HATT!!! ahahahaha


I'm making brownies for V-day tomorrow :)

Hello! I didn't get anything from the stocking yesterday, but I'd love to hear what everyone else scored.

What is everyone doing this weekend? Any fun Valentine plans?

Hi, Mel! I didn't get anything last night...I just enjoyed the stalking fun for others. :) No Valentine's plans here.


I am doing okay! Thanks for asking. My ears are all stuffed up but I can breathe and swallow etc so I am mostly normal...PLUS I managed to get 8 hours of sleep only waking once to pee :giggle2: DD slept 9 hours straight.
:yay:

we're still using sposies at night. i do it only because i don't want the girls to be uncomfortable in a wet diaper. it probably wouldn't bother them all that much but i know i wouldn't want to sleep in wet underpants :blush: oh well.
Hi, Jess...ITA with Sara. Fleece liners all the way here. I use them in every diaper to keep C dry, and plus they make cleaning diapers so much easier.

good morning ladies
my daughters school is having a dance tonight so we'll go to that i dont know what this weekend me andhoney dont have babysitter so maybe a movie and drink when kids r in bed

anyone lese creeped out or im one of those crazy people
Maya--aww..so fun about DDs dance tonight!!
I was just reading about the food thing in one of my yoga magazines. I sat down and thought about it for a bit and it did kind of weird me out a bit. I know what you mean. I can't afford to buy organic all the time, but I do when I can. I love the summer because there are a lot of local farms that set up stands around here so I can really buy fresh produce.

Hi mamas! i am just jumping in here because i feel it is my duty to tell you that if you put a fleece liner in the diaper against her skin, she will be dry and she won't be sitting in a disposable, unable to "breathe" all night. Just my :2cents:

I'll bbl... x woke up with a red bum again from the :yuck: sickness, and he's not a happy camper this morning :cry:
Awww..poor X. Have there been any improvements with his tummy at all?
Oh, and I did see your post about the cerise pants. I had seen them already, M/L would be way too long for C. I can't believe she hasn't sold them yet, though. You and Megan are correct--I'm really after shorts or covers.


anyone up for stalking fun at 10?
http://hyenacart.com/fuffles/index.php?p=35699
Maya--If I'm here, I may be able to help you. With the way things are going now, I should be here. I am boycotting stalking, but will make an exception for you since I know you're good for it. :mrgreen:

u can say your night stash we love all diapers here:lostit:
:yeahthat:

So...I don't know if it's a Friday the 13th thing or what, but C was up at 5:30am! I tried to pat her back to go back to sleep, which usually does the trick. Nope, she was ready to go. So, we came downstairs and I gave her some breakfast. I finally got her to lay down in our bed at 7:15 and then we all slept until 8:30, which made DH late for work and miss his ride in. :giggle:
He called his dad to drive him in....reminded me of missing the bus in high school and then my parents would be annoyed they would have to drive.

Well, C is on breakfast #2, so I'd better get going so perhaps we can head out somewhere today.

[starla79]

i know they have been doing it with plants for many years didnt know the and animals naturally?
but yeah i heard about the sewing i agree ridiculous

Talk to any farmer, any animal you see is the result of years of careful, selective breeding and cross-breeding to enhance desirable traits. Read "Fast Food Nation" sometime, it'll scare the poo outta ya.

I'm just dying for those marble shorties... i don't need wool... i don't need wool... do you guys think they're too girlie? Or would they work for my adorable little boy? http://hyenacart.com/fuffles/index.php?c=0&p=83999

[mommyshanti]

di i didnt even think about it being fri the 13th ooohhh scary lucky my sis has night off at the hospital
oh and about being good for it
i was wondering when u stalk how can u tell if the other person paid for it or chance u take?:thumbsup:

[mrsdi]

Starla--those shorties are definitely not girly. If anything, they are more on the GN side of boyish. However, you may not want to take my opinion considering the boy set that's in my avi on my little girl. :giggle:
I can't believe there are shorties sitting in that Fuffles cart. Gorgeous!!!

Maya--It is a chance you take with stalking. My theory is that if someone is calling out the troops for stalking help, she really wants the item.
I hope you get those shorties. Cestari is so nice.

[starla79]

Awww, they ship from the UK! How much is airmail shipping, probably close to $10 for a small package. :( I'll pass then, i guess... bummer. :(

[mrsdi]

Oh, no...maya???

[mrsdi]

I missed, but I hope it was you who snagged them, Maya.

I'm guessing the UK shipping is why there is so much gorgeous wool sitting in that cart.

[starla79]

I mailed the seller and asked what shipping is typically to the US... with the current exchange rate probably 7-10$. They're still there, if she gets back to me before they sell and it's not too bad, i'll get 'em.

And Di, it's not a boyish set! It's GN. :) And she looks adorable in it!

[pennybelly]

i love the 'marble' shorties. . . too bad the rise is too short :(

[starla79]

D has a short rise (about 14"), so 16" should provide plenty of coverage. I want those so bad but if shipping is outrageous then I don't want them... ooh this is going to kill me. I need to run and pump, too.

[pennybelly]

hehe megan we like the same ones :giggle:

[starla79]

Maya did you get the forest shorties? What's the shipping to the US?

[mommyshanti]

got em hop eit wasnt oversell:giggle2:
looks liek their was alot left i guess not a hot item:headscratch:
yeah for me:lostit:

[mommyshanti]

Maya did you get the forest shorties? What's the shipping to the US?

it was only 3 something
3.60:)

[amyrenee]

what site are we talking about??? I wanna look :)

[Ahavati]

we're still using sposies at night. i do it only because i don't want the girls to be uncomfortable in a wet diaper. it probably wouldn't bother them all that much but i know i wouldn't want to sleep in wet underpants :blush: oh well.

I third (or fourth :headscratch: ) the fleece liners. I use them on Ava and she feels nice and dry!!


No v-day plans, we don't celebrate it. However today is our 3 year anniversary since DH proposed :wub:

Poor Ava woke at 5 am this morning (normally its 3 :lostit: ) and she had spit up a lot. It was all green from the Avacado she ate last night. I am so hoping it happened when she woke but I think she may have been sleeping in it :cry:

[mrsdi]

Maya--I know I saw the shipping was $3 something, but I think that was within the UK. The price of the shorties is pretty reasonable, so I hope the shipping is, too.

Amy--here's the link: http://hyenacart.com/fuffles/

Starla--thanks...I can fix that set up extra girly with some new shirts. :)
Let us know if the seller emails you back.

Anyone posted a QOTD yet?

Morning!

I slept so good last night. And it seems the sickies are feeling better!

I'm such a dork! Im new to SBish, and I kept calling the pants i bought - shorts. No wonder everyone kept asking how I got shorts! :doh:

Its amazing to me how fast instock Woollybottoms sell out, but they just sit on FSOT. :foottap:

Its a fun filled day of cleaning for me!

[amyrenee]

Those are TDF!!!!!

[amyrenee]

I know Kellie... I think woolybottoms are so cute... they just never have Eva's size! I'd love them for bed time!

Why must my children hide my hairbrush?

My hair is *so* scary!

[Jordan]

Morning mamas! Sorry I went a little mia yesterday. DH wanted to go look at boats and then after that on a whim, we decided to go to the Ringling Bros Circus. It was great! They had like a open house preshow thing where you could see the animals up close and talk to the clowns and all that. We didn't get home until almost 11pm and I was pooped. But I missed the stocking. :cry: What did everyone get? I'll be looking for relists.

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

I know Kellie... I think woolybottoms are so cute... they just never have Eva's size! I'd love them for bed time!

I love them for bed time! And they're just plain cute! Peej always kicks socks or shoes off him, so they keep his feet warm, too!


:roflmbo: aboutr the sb "shorts"


:giggle: I am slow, what can I say!

[mommyshanti]

starla do u prefer that or meg
i see their is another meg here
about farmers i have no prob within same species im talkin about
ex. takin gene out of a fish because it doesnt freeze in cold waters and putting into tomato so it doesnt freeze
i get they do it for good reasons
but it just creeps me out
i know u said u were a foody yesterday so im sure your up on this so like hearing your thoughts :thumbsup: :goodvibes:

[idefix]

Good morning....wow, page 6. I just had my late breakfast since I slept in late and had to rush this morning to get the valentines cookies I baked to school.

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

Ive never been to the circus; I've only ever heard bad things about the way they treat the animals. :dunno:

When does Joyce usually relist them? I always get the emails hours after..and they're all gone!

[aranel7]

So...I don't know if it's a Friday the 13th thing or what, but C was up at 5:30am! I tried to pat her back to go back to sleep, which usually does the trick. Nope, she was ready to go.

Yeah, I think it is a Friday the 13th thing. Both of my kids were up and screaming in their rooms at 7am, where they usually sleep until 8:30. I was kind of bummed about that :)

what site are we talking about??? I wanna look :)

I wish I hadn't looked :giggle:

Its amazing to me how fast instock Woollybottoms sell out, but they just sit on FSOT. :foottap:

Its a fun filled day of cleaning for me!

I love the idea of woollybottoms but I don't think footies are very practical. I would love a pair for both kids to wear overnight but that would be the only time I'd reach for them, so I haven't spent the money. SS your stuff is just sitting!

Ok . . . Juliana is now napping so I have some time :giggle: I don't know what her deal has been lately, but she's not been the happiest baby in the world. She's also doing mean to Howie more, so I'm starting to have to discipline her :(

[Ahavati]

I thought relists aren't until Monday?

[Jordan]

:cowwave:

Ive never been to the circus; I've only ever heard bad things about the way they treat the animals. :dunno:

When does Joyce usually relist them? I always get the emails hours after..and they're all gone!
They seemed like they were treated pretty well from what I saw. They were all soooo well trained. That always amazes me. I think the last 2 weeks she has done relists on Monday.

LOL, I always think sposies stink way worse in the morning than cloth. Do you have hard water? Have you tried stripping? Because i noticed when ours get stinky giving them a dose of calgon clears it up for a little while.

I don't think it's anything with our water, I'm probably just used to the sposie smell in the morning. I remember back in the beginning I haaaated the smell of sposies. I could smell it instantly every time she had a drop of pee or poop, but now it doesn't bother me nearly as much. I should give cloth a try at night again, but I don't know if I have anything night-worthy.

I'm just dying for those marble shorties... i don't need wool... i don't need wool... do you guys think they're too girlie? Or would they work for my adorable little boy? http://hyenacart.com/fuffles/index.php?c=0&p=83999

I think the shorties are boyish/gn, so you should go for them :)


No QOTD yet!! Any ideas?

[amyrenee]

Weird... Eva was up at 6:15 which is SO strange! I forgot about it being Friday the 13th

I'm praying that we get our teething necklace today:crossfingers:

ex. takin gene out of a fish because it doesnt freeze in cold waters and putting into tomato so it doesnt freeze
i get they do it for good reasons
but it just creeps me out
i know u said u were a foody yesterday so im sure your up on this so like hearing your thoughts :thumbsup: :goodvibes:

I guess I'm exceedingly practical... think of it this way. Late cold front comes through and kills a tomato crop. Shortage causes prices to skyrocket in the grocery stores. Farmers need gov't help to stay afloat because they've lost their crop. In the end, everyone pays. But you GE the tomatoes so they don't freeze, and while the cost goes up slightly (because of the GE cost), you don't have all the effects rippling through the economy because of a late freeze. You'd eat the fish on it's own, right? So what's wrong with putting some of the fish's genetic code in a tomato? Yeah, it weirds people out (fishmatos?) but i can't imagine what harmful effects could possibly come out of something like that when we've already done so much to cover ourselves in chemicals. Now, if it impacts the flavor of the end product or gives it scales, then I'd be a bit weirded out (FISHMATO? :yuck: ) but otherwise... **shrug** I suppose it's all where your priorities are. If it bugs you you can grow your own or buy from a non-GEI source, same with organic produce. If there's a market for it, it'll be available.

So DS comes downstairs this morning and says "What's under pajama's?"

I dunno Aaron, what's under your pajamas?

"A BUTT HAT" he shouts with excitement :giggle:


oh little aaron just made my morning :giggle2:

im popping in a little late but its only cause roan was sooo good to me this morning and woke up at 6 and went right back to sleep til 7.30. i was able to get in a shower but halfway through it the water turned icy! and of course it was right after i lathered all up too. go figure.

i think the shipping to the us is the price on there, but who knows i could be wrong. she doesnt have an intl shipping price.

and i think im gonna try my hand at sewing. i just need to go dig up the sewing machine which i havent seen since we moved last year. hmmm where would that stinker be...or maybe i should ask dh for a new sewing machine as a late bday and vday gift. ;X

[mommyshanti]

i hear ya starla but you cant decide not to buy because they dont tell you and dont have to
so yeah know the farmer or farm your own:thumbsup:

[starla79]

They don't have to tell you they've done it, but a lot of companies *will* advertise that they don't use GEI (there are quite a few i see at whole foods that advertise it openly). So you can look for the ones that explicitly state no GEI, or take your chances. I do wish there was better labeling, and that companies weren't suing places that do label that they don't use GEI. The FDA is f**king useless, in my humble opinion, and the free market needs to demand change before anything will be done. Again, read Fast Food Nation, it will blow your mind.

QOTD: Hm, Rob isn't terribly romantic. When he does *anything* for me I'm surprised. :) Last year he took me out for sushi and a massage... at 36 weeks pregnant it was a nice thing to have. This year? He comes home yesterday and tells me he was looking at the cards at kroger and decided he didn't want to perpetuate this useless, consumerist holiday... i laughed at him and asked him when he's *ever* gotten me a valentines day card, and he was like... hmm... good point. I was like, look, all i want is lunch at Brio on sunday and to raid Godiva for post-V-day chocolate, and he was cool with that. :)

Why must "Bitty Fluff" make such adorable stuff!!!! I wish they did more than new born!!! Did anyone see the ooga booga set- it's TDF!!!!

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

Okay, I need some help...

I have two skeins of yarn from a MM coop that I need to get trim for.

The first: Coastal Sunset (http://mosaicmoon.com/newgallery/index.php?showimage=108&category=3)

The second: Guinevere (http://mosaicmoon.com/newgallery/index.php?showimage=109&category=3)

So what color trim should I get for each? They're on cestari, if that matters.

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

Oh, and do I need to get cestari trim if i have cestari for the rest? Ive never bought trim before....

[Mockeh]

Maya--I know I saw the shipping was $3 something, but I think that was within the UK. The price of the shorties is pretty reasonable, so I hope the shipping is, too.

Amy--here's the link: http://hyenacart.com/fuffles/

Starla--thanks...I can fix that set up extra girly with some new shirts. :)
Let us know if the seller emails you back.

Just wanted to say that all the shipping prices on my store are for to the US :)

Hm, I'd do red on the sunset and blue on the guinevere. I don't think you have to get the same type of yarn for trim but you do have to account for the different weight and how they will knit up differently on the same needles.

[aranel7]

Kellie, I have no input about trim colors (I'm TERRIBLE at picking trim colors) but this site (http://www.cestariltd.com/shop/index.php?p=catalog&parent=9&pg=1) might interest you if you're looking for Cestari trim.

You're not anti-sposie, you were just suggesting that they try fleece... i use suedecloth liners in my diapers to keep D dry too. :) And there's nothing wrong with sposies, lawd knows most of us have/do used them at one time or another. ;)

[starla79]

LOL, so this is what my husband picked up since i got the shorties... http://www.woot.com/ The lambo, of course. He's like, "Draven will love it!" Suuuure sweetie... it's totally for D and not for you. :P

[MelG]

OK, you are a chatty bunch.:chuckle: I don't know how you all keep up!
Sorry so many of you had a rough night! How's this for a Friday the 13th--we are actually doing a FET (frozen embryo transfer/ivf cycle) today. I think the Friday the 13th thing would bother me, except that this is our 5th IVF and none of the previous ones have worked. We were even given a 97% chance of success among the first 3 cycles. The 2 kids we have were complete surprises, since we have also been told that it would take a miracle for us to conceive without the assistance of an RE. We figure our luck must work opposite of everyone else's, so maybe today will bring us good luck. Only one friend and a couple family members know about it though, so don't go telling anyone!:thumbsup:

Wow, I go out for an hour and miss a lot. I'm still not caught up.

I just wanted to say that it was so nice of Fuffies to post here. Mama, if you're reading this..your work is beautiful!! I'm so glad the shipping to the US is so cheap and Maya and Starla got something! :yay:

Oh, and I'm not anti-sposies, either. I hope I didn't offend, either. :hide:

Amy---those sets are just too cute. Itty bitties in giraffes. Cute, cute!!!

Kellie--I'm not too great on trim colors, either. I tend to go for the color which is least expressed in the colorway, but that's just me. Oh, and for me...I would go with Cestari for the trim, only because I :wub: Cestari and I would want the waistband to be that yarn. Again, just me and my ol' opinion.

So...we went out and I thought for sure C would fall asleep in the car while I did all the drive-through errands. Nope. Wide-awake and happy to check everything out. :headscratch: I know I'm tired from her getting up early! Going back to sleep for an hour still didn't cut it.

Mel--Sticky vibes!! GL, mama!!!!

You all talking about Whole Foods...I have to get there. There's one not far from me, but I like to go by myself without C. It's one of those stores that if she gets me sidetracked (which she always does) then I come out of there spending a boatload of money. I need to focus when I'm there.

I know there was Woollybottoms chat earlier. It took me forever to sell an almost new pair that were borderline too small for C. However, I :wub: the new ones I have for her, and she wears them enough to justify the purchase.

Yeah, I know. :( If I had money to throw around, I would actually get black, but I really really want cerise, so I'm going to hold off. From what I hear, she may be stocking cerise as soon as next week.

Teal and mustard may be later today. ;)

Not where I am, but we do have Kroger's, which is starting to get better organic produce. I mainly use it to make my baby food, since it gets expensive.

Mamas... i need some help please!

X woke up with a red bum today, like i said, but it is so bad he cried when he woke up (he is usually super-happy in the morning) and cried through the diaper change (but he usually fusses at DC's so i kind of ignored it :blush:) then continued to cry downstairs and even when i sat him in his highchair for breakfast!

Then it dawned on me: his butt hurts, so he does not even want to sit on it :cry: So, i have fed him standing up all day long, kind of fly-by snacking. Lately, I have been using sposie wipes with aloe :hide: but i knew that would irritate him, so i switched to my cloth wipes with just water for changes, and i gave him a bath with no soap, i tried grandma el's diaper rash ointment but it stung him so he cried harder. Balmex seems to cool his bum off, but it's not healing the rash. Any home remedies or other things i can do to ease his pain? it's making me :cry: right now, to see my baby in so much pain! i have been keeping him on tylenol too, which seems to just numb the pain enough for naptime.

[starla79]

Try an oatmeal bath, it'll help take the sting out of what's bugging him (just throw some oatmeal in the baby tub, or use a bit of cheesecloth to make a pouch for it). What's in the diaper rash cream? Some babies are sensitive to natural ingredients like aloe and lanolin, you never know what could be setting him off. D is sensitive to grapefruit seed extract -- found that out the hard way! Method makes a good hypoallergenic diaper rash cream that is safe for cloth, see if you can slather the heck out of him with it and see how he goes through a few changes. Odds are he's not sensitive to anything in particular, it's just that with his bad poops lately his tush is overreacting to something in the ingredient list and it hurts.

Also, see if you can find some florastor or florastor kids... that stuff WORKED for D when he was on antibiotics the last time. He still had runny poops, but they were more like runny breastfed poops and not the vile green poops he got on antibiotics the last time. It's a bit expensive but man, when it works, you'll pay anything for them to feel better. We were both crying through D's diaper changes the one time he was on antibiotics and it made him so raw... i've never felt more horrible in my life. The johnson and johnson triple cream helped clear him up and protect his skin but it's not cloth safe... i'd put him in sposies or use liners you don't mind throwing away if you want to use that, but it seriously helped D more than anything else we tried on him when the rash was bad.

[mrsdi]

Awwww, :hugs: to you and X, Sara. I'm so sorry about his little bum. :( I don't have any tips for you (sounds like you're doing great with just water to not to further irritate) but I hope someone can advise you on what may help clear up the rash. I'm sure it's heartbreaking for you to see him in pain.
Have there been any improvements with his tummy today?

P.S.--got the ergo. Thanks!

[serendipity10410]

Thank you starla. I am so fogged in my head today, i can't believe i did not think of oatmeal in the bath!! thank you for bringing that up. We are going to Target when he wakes, and maybe i can find some Method diaper rash cream. You say it's cloth safe, eh??? That would be nice. I put him in a leftover sposie earlier with the balmex, but in the end decided to use my fleece liners because i could care less if they get stained, and they are supposed to repel, so i don't see a way to "ruin" them. I could be wrong, but it's a gamble i am willing to take because i think his bum needs to "breathe" right now, not just be slathered in paste and plastic on top of it. I don't know what florastor is but man, it sounds like it would do some good for this poop he has going on, esp since the ped thinks it may last up to three weeks! :gah:

I am going to try as many of your ideas as possible :bighug:

[serendipity10410]

Di, thanks for the :hugs:
His tummy is obviously not doing too well, but he never complains. He has been pooping non-stop yellow liquids for over a week now :cry: But it did not bother him at all until the rash came. I think he sat in some :yuck: poop all night. He has not pooped in the middle of the night since 3 mos old, so i thought we were done with this!!

I am so glad you got the Ergo. I hope it's not too fuzzy for you :blush: I left it out to pack it the night before, and kitty curled up and slept next to it :giggle:

Oh, what a shame. :( I thought maybe it started to get better as today went on. :( Hopefully it does not last for 3 weeks for his little tummy and bum's sake.

No prob about the ergo...the same thing goes on here with the dog/cat. It's ridiculous. :giggle: I haven't even opened it yet, so no biggie. :mrgreen:

Florastor is a powder, it's a yeast probiotic vs. a bacteria probiotic (like acidophilus... so it's not affected by antibiotics)... the kid form comes in packets and you dump it in their milk or formula or food and mix it in (or mix with a little water and give that way), the pills we just opened up (they're easy to pull apart) and mixed the same way. Our ped was so awesome, she gave us like a 7 day supply for free which almost got us through his antibiotics. You may have a hard time finding it, we had to ask a few different pharmacies. You can also try baby jarrodophilus (it has some different probiotics and some prebiotics), i get it at whole foods with the refrigerated stuff in the vitamin section, but i don't know where else might have it... it's a powder in a plastic jar and you add it to their food much the same way. But the florastor REALLY made a huge difference for D when he was on antibiotics and i was very impressed with it. You can even just get acidophilus pills and break them open and mix the powder with his food if you want to give something inexpensive and easy a shot and can't find the other stuff. If he's got diarrhea probiotics could REALLY make a difference.

Target should have the method cream, if they don't i've seen it at kroger and publix before. It's in a pump bottle and has marshmallow in it. I don't know how much that helps but it's really fluffy and nice. :) No petroleum jelly/petrolatum in it so i've had no problems using it with cloth and it doesn't stain. I feel you pain on the butt rash! I was just beside myself when D had it so bad, i had no idea what to do to make him happy so i was trying everything i could think of. OOOhh, i just remembered another thing, the ped said to try using liquid maalox (use a cotton ball and dab it on) on the rash, it'll neutralize the acid and help them keep from getting 'burned' by the bad poo. I'd give that a shot too. :) It might be hard to get off but if it works, it works! :) Good luck!

[serendipity10410]

:yay: Thank you Starla! you have been soooo helpful, you have no idea!! I'll try just about anything right now. My grocery store has a wonderful selection of organic foods/remedies/etc, so i will check for probiotics when i go. For now, I am going to give maalox and Method cream a shot!

[momma2Mimi07]

Hi mommas! Hope all is well, Haven't read through the whole thread yet! Wanted to 2nd the Method cream, it is GREAT and smells good too! We use the lotion and bath wash too! Its REALLY gentle stuff! and Toxin Free! We use Burts Bees too but the butt cream isn't diaper safe! Although we do have it when we need something a lil stonger! Df bought me a BEAUTIFUL Flower arrangement today for VDay! I was so happy I told him NO roses and I got ALL Lilies! My FAV.! Well chat more later, I am enjoying our day with the family! Lots of hugs, Chas

[treala05]

Any home remedies or other things i can do to ease his pain?

DD has diaper rash sometimes too and when I brought it up at our 9 month appointment our pedi recommended Boudreaux's Butt Paste as the best thing for rashes. It's not sposie safe, but you might try it if none of the other stuff works.

[mrsdi]

:wave: Chasity!!
I have heard nothing but good things about the Method baby products. My next trip to Target, they are on my list.
Aww...soo sweet of DF!! DH mailed C and I V-day cards...I just checked the mailbox and thought 'hmmm....this looks like his handwriting.' :giggle:

Shannon--Thanks for the friendly bumpity! :)

Ok, I think I'm going to lay down for a few minutes while C is catching up on lost sleep.

Oh, anyone buy any relists from last week's stocking? Just wondering if any shipping notices have gone out or if she's just going to do everything together.
Not that I'm keeping the one I'm waiting for...but, just wondering when someone else's fluff is going to show up on my doorstep.

[idefix]

Oh my.........I just received my very first BRSB fluffy mail. They are so soft just like the bamboo velour I own. I want that on my tush. :giggle:

[treala05]

So you guys use the Method diaper stuff on CDs? Like all types?? I might have to get some of that!!

[mrsdi]

Oh my.........I just received my very first BRSB fluffy mail. They are so soft just like the bamboo velour I own. I want that on my tush. :giggle:

I hear you. They are the softest diapers. I love the squishiness. Jaclyn on here and I talk about how we pet the BSRBs when they arrive. :giggle:

Before I know it I am going to be at 3,000 posts! :thud:

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

All you people and your Targets! I am so jealous!!!!

So....if I like wool...for DD that is, do I get two pair and rotate? Will 1 pair work at all? I guess I feel funny putting her in the same "pants" she wore the day before :giggle: Even though I may do the same thing with my jeans....:goodvibes:

[idefix]

Does anyone own Babylegs? It says to hand wash and not dry them in the dryer. Am I going to ruin them if I throw them in the washer on warm and on the dryer on low?

[aranel7]

Pro-biotics are a biggie when you're trying to combat the kind of situation you're in Sara. I used Culturelle for Howie for about a month and it was great. I got the caplets and emptied them into his soy yogurt. He gobbled it down!

[serendipity10410]

Silke,
I never knew that about babylegs... :headscratch: i own some, but they are too small... now i wonder if i shrunk them :banghead: because i always wash and dry them with his clothes.

Ok... i am a little :blush: to say it, but i am a little worried about giving him probiotics! I am going to try it anyway, but i just want to throw that out there :giggle: Where did you get the culturelle, jenn? I am hoping my organic section will have all these things. Or else, i have a health food store down the street, but their prices are ridiculous, so i would rather avoid it if possible.

Oh, maybe I better follow directions. I don't quite understand why manufacturers sell baby items that you can't wash and dry. They get dirty so quickly. Hmmm....maybe I need to make my own Babylegs.

[luvmykeikis]

Goodness, I have a LOT of catching up to do. I have been busy listing some wool and I even bought another soaker (L Black) this morning. That way I will have 2 to rotate for night time use.

I am going through a decluttering phase (ie. my wool and TFs). It is just impractical for me to keep wool we don't use yet. I like the shorties I listed but John doesn't. I normally don't care but I have a lot of upcoming customs. Basically, I want to keep shopping but don't necessarily want more (in quantity) cd'ing stash. KWIM

I get culturelle (for my yeast issues) at any local drugstore....they all have it here.

[luv2luvzaya]

hello!

im still upset i didnt get my smurfs!
i emailed Joyce, but havent got a response? :cry:

about the babylegs, i wash them in washer w/ the other baby clothes them lay them flat to dry after :)

[mrsdi]

Sara-- about our posts. I had very few posts before coming to this thread. :giggle:

Silke--I've always machine washed/dried my Babylegs. I never even thought tor read the package. :blush: Mine seem fine.

Just as I was dozing off.....C is up.

[luvmykeikis]

Suzy - Joyce is drowning in hundreds of emails from the stocking. She just had gotten back to me about paying for Allison's Fire Dept. I am pretty sure she has more fabric. Maybe we ought to just score you a custom.

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

It is amazing how much easier life is when you got to sleep some...

[luv2luvzaya]

thx megan, i figured she was swamped w/ emails from us crazy diaper sluts lol

I am just sick over this plane crash last night. One of the victims was a 9/11 widow. John's had to work all through night on this.

I know nothing of this. I am turning on the TV now. How horrible.

[momma2Mimi07]

I wash my babylegs with the diapers.... Never seems to hurt them, Mia is REALLY hard on hers, she rolls around, climbs, Colors, pees and everything else on/in them and they have held up just fine! I figure the hot wash with dipes is good for them cause they NEED disinfected after she is done in them lol! She wears a pair atleast 3x per week unless they get nasty first then I just put them in the wet pail!

[momma2Mimi07]

WHAT? Off to turn on the news!

[momto3girls]

Juliana is in the hospital. Im posting from my phone. I'll update later.

[luvmykeikis]

It happened late last night on Continental 3407 Newark to Buffalo. 49 confirmed dead. It crashed into a house.

[luvmykeikis]

Oh no April. Please update. I hope she is ok.

[momma2Mimi07]

Juliana is in the hospital. Im posting from my phone. I'll update later.
OH NO MOMMA!!! Lots of prayers! Please keep us updated! Oh goodness LOTS of sick babies!

Here is a report on the crash from Yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090213/ap_on_re_us/plane_into_home Terrible... Almost seems like maybe it could have been prevented... I'm not sure though I don't know anything about planes?!

[mrsdi]

Oh, April....:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
:pray: for Juliana

Megan--I have the news on now, but I'm going to look up the latest online because the commercials are ridiculous.

[luvmykeikis]

It was breaking news last night. You all were sleeping.

[mrsdi]

Oh, what a horrible story. :(

[momma2Mimi07]

It is its terrible!

[mrsdi]

Oh, geez...another in London, but everyone is ok, thank goodness.

[luvmykeikis]

Does anyone else have a fear of flying?

[luvmykeikis]

What is going on and the miracle on the Hudson just happened!

[momma2Mimi07]

I am TOTALLY afraid of flying! I am not looking forward to it when we go out to Oregon too look at houses... :hide:

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

Does anyone else have a fear of flying?

I've only done it once for a very stable very normal 1.5 hour flight...I would be totally okay if thats the only time I have to fly...

[Jordan]

Juliana is in the hospital. Im posting from my phone. I'll update later.
Oh no! :hugs: and I'm :pray: that she is ok.
Does anyone else have a fear of flying?

I don't, but DH does. He has never flown on a plane and says he never will. :banghead: I'd love to travel one day but that sort of limits where we can go.'

That crash was awful. How sad.:cry:

[luvmykeikis]

John sent me this immediately. http://www.fearlessflight.com/ I know the statistics are in our favor but it does happen. He says driving is more dangerous but I am also afraid of driving. I know I have issues.

[mrsdi]

Oh, Megan....:hugs:

[luvmykeikis]

Thanks Di!

I wonder how Annie is....all these sick babies.

[aranel7]

I'm sending big PPT to Annie and April that Addie and Juliana are in and out of the hospital in no time :hugs: I'm so sorry :hugs:

[serendipity10410]

I am just sick over this plane crash last night. One of the victims was a 9/11 widow. John's had to work all through night on this.

you think you're sick about it... X and i flew through that Buffalo airport on Tues!! DH is flying home through there tonight too!

[luvmykeikis]

Many prayers for your DH Sara!

[idefix]

OK, I will throw some Babylegs in the wash and dryer with the clothes. I could measure the length before and after. :giggle:

[mrsdi]

Oh, how scary, Sara!! Prayers for DH!

[serendipity10410]

Thanks di and megs. Prayers for April and annie with the sick kiddoes!! :bighug:

Making dinner...that DS said he REALLY wanted...now he doesn't want it GAH!

[momto3girls]

Quick update. We came to the hospital because Juliana was having episodes where she was fighting to breathe. Her oxygen level was low also. She's not on oxygen yet. We're staying in the hospital overnight for observation.

[serendipity10410]

april :bighug:

[luvmykeikis]

April - :hugs: Thanks again for the update. I have been thinking about you all.

[Ahavati]

Hi ladies!

April: I am keeping Juliana in my thoughts and prayers. Just a curious question (because of something I have been reading) did she just get her shots recently? I hope everything is ok and you guys can come home soon. I've always hated having little babies in the hospital :( :hugs:

Annie: I'm praying for Addie too. I hope we hear an update soon :hugs:

Sara: Poor X. I second what everyone else said to try. You can also cut up some cheap fleece blankets and use those as liners to just chunck when you are done. I think the cloth might be more comfy for him. Poor guy can't sit :(

Hi everyone else!! I'm trying to do this on memory and not doing too well :blush:

On the babylegs, I wash and dry them and don't see a diff :thumbsup:

And I LOVE Whole Foods! Our HEB has a "Vintage Market" and has tons of organic food. We have decided to get as much organic and additive free food as possible. I try to make as much from scratch as I can. We've decided to sacrifice some things and re-prioritize our budget to where groceries were more important. I used to just get the most I could for our money. But we found that we may spend a bit more now, but we changed the portion sizes of our meals and it evens out now. I've learned to get creative :)

It's so rainy and yucky today :( I think DH, the kids and I are going to enjoy dinner out tonight. Tomorrow we're going to drive up to SFAU to see my sister. She's had a rough week of early clinicals and is tired and lonely.

[Ahavati]

To the SBish wool seekers, Erin posted on Twitter " cerise & lila covers arrived too"

Dunno if you are looking for cerise covers or just shorts. But I'm assuming she'll stock these soon.

[mrsdi]

April--thanks for the update. :bighug: Hope all turns out ok tonight, mama.

Annie--still thinking of you and Addie. :hugs:

Cass--thanks for the update. Just saw that. I would love either cover, but I can't sit here all night checking. lol.

[starla79]

Cass, i don't know what shots Juliana had recently but she was diagnosed with RSV a couple days ago and has been on breathing treatments. I guess it got worse instead of better.

Traffic is insane today. I'm glad i don't have anywhere to go.

[Ahavati]

Ahh, thanks Starla, I forgot about that, slipped my mind. Poor Juliana :(

[luvmykeikis]

Cass I just saw you mentioned HEB. I remember those when we lived in Del Rio.

[mrsdi]

Starla--I've been to Atlanta a few times...love it there, but could never deal with the traffic getting in/out of downtown. That's some of the craziest traffic I've ever seen.

[luv2luvzaya]

my thoughts & prayers are w/ the sick babies & the mamas :hugs:

has annie been on today to give us an update?

[Jordan]

John sent me this immediately. http://www.fearlessflight.com/ I know the statistics are in our favor but it does happen. He says driving is more dangerous but I am also afraid of driving. I know I have issues.
:hugs: I'm really scared to drive or ride with someone too. I panic when I ride with other people sometimes
I'm sending big PPT to Annie and April that Addie and Juliana are in and out of the hospital in no time :hugs: I'm so sorry :hugs:
Did I miss something? I didn't know Addie was in the hospital. :pray: That she is ok and home soon!

That mustard looks more olive on the site. I'd be curious to hear what others have to say, too.

I got a cerise cover. I'm happy.
I'll be even happier when I get shorts. :blush:

ok, NM. I am talking myself out of sbish pants! :giggle: i do not even have the soaker i ordered yet!! I get so bad sometimes... the wool obsession is just as dangerous as diapers :giggle2:

Di :yay: for cerise!!! i can't wait to get my teal cover too! :yay:

[luv2luvzaya]

yes wool is pretty dangerous! its worse cause its ALOT more expensive!

i always told myself i'll never buy knit longies & guess what........i gave in
now i own both interlock & knit.
i bought some smartypants shorties for $80 of of fsot earlier this week!
i couldnt resist!

[mrsdi]

Wool is more dangerous than diapers, IMO. :giggle:

I told myself I wouldn't buy knit because I knit. Uhhh...yeah, right. I still have a lot to learn.

Sara--how funny...we are both trying out covers at the same time! I can't wait!!! We could swap stashes if you ever have another and have a girl and vice-versa. :giggle:

[Mom2BabiesA&I]

Okay the children are in bed, the girl isn't so sure she approves of that though...

Both are in cloth *crosses fingers*

Any luck with X's bum yet, Sara? Did the maalox help?

D is winding down for bed, hopefully we have a better night than last night. He keeps doing this weird breathing thing that i know he's just messing around with ('Look, i can make a cool noise!') but it still freaks me out when he does it. And I am staying away from the sbish site, especially after taking the plunge today with some knit shorties.

I swore I wasn't going to buy the soakers...and then I did. Then I swore I wasn't going to buy the pants...and then I did. I keep telling myself that if I don't like them, I can re-sell them, so it's harmless, right? Right?

You will NEVER believe this...

I went to target for method rash cream, maalox, probiotics, a valentine for DH and a pair of jeans. I had it all in my cart, plus some other random things that caught my eye :giggle: and i came home and there is no Maalox or Method cream in the bag!!! :banghead:What's even crazier, i checked the receipt and it's not on there either :headscratch:. All i can think is that it fell out of the cart :confused: So I put him to bed in a TIAN with a fleece liner and *gasp* desitin. I found a tube of it in the bureau from when he was first born and in sposies. He screamed bloody murder when i put it on him :cry: and i felt sooooooo bad, but i could not put him to bed without some barrier in there, right?? Anyway, DH is coming home late tonight and he said he will stop at the 24 hr grocery and get some stuff. I just hope he's a little better in the morning. Poor little X man :cry: Thanks for asking! i WILL try it, and report back tomorrow!

[serendipity10410]

Oh, Starla, X does the same audible breathing thing. One night, DH came home and heard it while i was out shopping and called the ped! He called me to pick him up some benadryl b/c he thought X was having an allergic reaction!! I can just :giggle: now about it, but DH was so upset. He still does it, and when dh hears it I can tell his heart skips a beat or two :chuckle:
Must be a 10 month old thing... as i see that Reese is doing it too :giggle:

He screamed bloody murder when i put it on him :cry: and i felt sooooooo bad, but i could not put him to bed without some barrier in there, right?? Anyway, DH is coming home late tonight and he said he will stop at the 24 hr grocery and get some stuff. I just hope he's a little better in the morning. Poor little X man :cry: Thanks for asking! i WILL try it, and report back tomorrow!

that thought process sounds very familiar... ;) :lostit:

I hate when I do that. Hopefully, that will take care of it. Poor baby.

Unfortunately, that thought process just might send me to the poor house! :giggle2:

So...who do I blame for my new SBish obsession?

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

It cant be that I like SBish that much.... I think its the thrill of the chase!

LOL, all of us with March babies have them making the funny breathing noise. I swear, it's like they hit an age where they find something neat and just keep repeating it... he used to make it randomly before but now it's a sport. My sister's baby went through a phase where she was gulping and swallowing air a lot, at least he's not doing that yet. :)

I've had that happen where i went through the checkout and either missed some of my stuff or ended up with someone else's... it's usually because the checker messed up and grabbed (or didn't grab) something they weren't supposed to. One time we ended up with a huge jar of mustard. It was like, WTF? How are we going to use all this mustard? We were too lazy to take it back. Some huge family must have been missing all that mustard though.

[mrsdi]

Sara--I just read your post about your missing items. That has happened to me on more than one occasion and it drives me nuts!!!
So sweet that DH will pick some of the things up from the 24-hr. At least you will have something for X in the morning until you can get back out.
:hugs: I'm sure it broke your heart putting the cream on him tonight, but hopefully the barrier will help him tonight.

:giggle2: you had quite a chase! Teehee. However, I am embarrassed to say what I would buy if a random chunk of cash just dropped into my lap. Uhhh...Joyce and Erin would be spending next winter at a beach house...NOT sewing.

[hopptermomma]

Evening Mommas. We're home. It's been a very stressful and tiring 36 hours. On top of that the last three days prior to the hospital were spent with her throwing up. I'm whooped. She's okay now. Playing and drinking and is fully hydrated again. Her appetite isn't back yet but that will come in time. My brain is in a complete fog.

(((AMY))) Thank you so much for getting Mickey for me. You rock Honey!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

:roflmbo: I say Megan. :giggle:

:giggle:



Has anyone ever tried the BumGenius odor remover? I bought some from cottonbabies when I picked up some more BG inserts. There were a few mixed reviews on it...

I dont have a diaper pail. I just use a huge hanging wetbag. And it gets smelly! I wonder if a pail would smell less, or more???

:roflmbo: about the mustard. '

And X is obsessed with making "raspberries" IYKWIM. haha. it's funny when he does it, and i can do it back to him and he repeats. It's cute to watch, no doubt. Unfortunately, it is very messy to clean up yogurt and banana when he makes the razzs with them in his mouth :giggle2:.

I have not tried the BG odor remover, but if you don't mind the scent of Tea Tree Oil ( I love it :)) that is a great deodorant and it's antifungal/antibacterial too! i just put a few drops on a small wipe or piece of fleece and put it in the wetbag. I too, do not have a diaper pail. Oh, and SMJAE wetbags are made of THICK pul , and they hold in odors and wetness better than any other bag i have tried :thumbsup:

IME the hanging bag I had STUNK to high heaven. I use an old clothes hamper with a WAHMIES wetbag in it...no cover...not stinky at *all* If one of the kids had a big stinky ole poo I can put a couple of drops of lavender EO on the little square in there and you'd never know!

Ive been wanting to do away with my hanging pail b/c of the smell. It like, bakes it, or something, and it just smells 10x worse when I open it! I might do a pail, but then Id need a diaper sprayer....esp now that Peej has been introduced to solids!

Why would you need a sprayer? I don't use one....its not a wetpail that I use, just a plain old clothes hamper, wetpails creep me out, hehe.

:hide: :blush: :hide:
I just bought the teal karate pants in ML. i figure if the inseam is too long, i can always hem them myself. Better than getting a M and having the rise too short.

[mrsdi]

Annie--:hugs: I'm sure you're mentally exhausted, but so glad to here little Addie is on her way back to herself. Poor little girl, and poor mama.

Starla--:roflmbo: about the mustard. That has happened to me, too, and I feel bad for the person who actually is home missing the item.

Sara--:giggle2: about the raspberries...with a mouthful of food. That's a little messy, to say the least!
C loves making raspberries, too....however, they make her nose itch so she's constantly making all of that noise, then rubbing her nose. :giggle: She's also into the sticking the tongue in and out making the 'uh-la uh-la' noise. It's usually cute, but it wasn't so much at 5:30am today.

Kellie--can't help you on the BG odor remover. I've never tried it. I agree with PP about the lavender or tea tree oil in the bag. Oh, and the SMJAE wetbags are great, as Sara mentioned. :)

:hide: :blush: :hide:

:giggle2: you're bad.
However, if you hem them, that's even more use you'll get out of them because you can take the hem out when needed! Good thinking.

Di, that is so cute about C with her "uh-la". :giggle: And yes, i am BAD. DH does not even ask anymore what i am spending on. I am really irritated because i can't even spend $50 on jeans for myself yet i just bought X $70 pants :headscratch:

[mrsdi]

Oh, and Kellie....FWIW, I don't have a sprayer, either. I have a pail, but I really don't use it. I keep all dirty dipes in a wetbag in my living room where C gets changed. :blush:
However, I found that when I keep the wetbag zipped up, the stink is horrendous. I'm sure others would disagree with me, but leaving it at least partially unzipped to get some airflow helps greatly with us.

You know who actually started my whole SBish gears rolling is Ashley. She mentioned how it would be nice to not have to worry about knits getting wrecked. Then, I got to thinking how impractical it might be for a rough boy. Plus, we don't wear wool out of the house, just BGOS under "IRL" clothes. I thought maybe I'd let B wear the SBish out of the house. I am on a streamlining kick. I just want to simplify. I am little overwhelmed thinking about my upcoming customs.

Annie - I replied on SBish. I am glad you are all home and better. :yay: for the Mickey. It was so nice of Amy to get one for you.

[luvmykeikis]

Di - You bought a cover. :yay: I am ashamed at what I spend on jeans. Those are one of my splurges.

[Jordan]

Well the kids went to sleep quick.:lostit: I think my mom wore them out. And everyone STOP with the sbish talk.:giggle: I've been over there looking countless times and I'm holding myself back.

Uhh...I dont know. Ive always hear people say they use a diaper sprayer if they had a pail. :dunno:






For the knittin' mamas out there! Im ordering some yarn in a coop and Im wondering how much I'd need for a large soaker, and a medium pair of shorts.

The yarn Im getting comes in 4oz skeins (280 yards). If I get one skein of yarn and then one skeins of trim (2 oz) would that be enough to do a large soaker? And the same for the medium shorts, would 280 yards of colorway plus 2oz of trim be enough?

Ugh, I am no good at this whole yarn thing!!

[luvmykeikis]

Kellie - I am no expert but that definitely sounds like enough, even for your big baby. That is all I get for Blake. I think how far it goes depends on the type of wool too though.

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

Excuse the typos. Im too lazy to go back and fix them. :)

[BeachMommyOfTwo]

Kellie - I am no expert but that definitely sounds like enough, even for your big baby. That is all I get for Blake. I think how far it goes depends on the type of wool too though.

The wool is worsted organic merino. Whatever that means! :giggle2:

[serendipity10410]

Di,
to tell you the truth, i would normally not spend $20 on jeans either :giggle: but now since having X, i can't fit into Old Navy jeans anymore :headscratch: so I had to break down and spend $40 on jeans today :cry: I am a cheapskate :rofl:

[treala05]

Di - You bought a cover. :yay: I am ashamed at what I spend on jeans. Those are one of my splurges.

Uh, me too. I won't mention how much I've spent on jeans for myself before :hide:

But on the flip side, I'm cheap when it comes to DD's clothes - she only gets a few months wear out of stuff so far, so I can't see spending much money on them. SBish wool is probably never going to fly here, so I'll just :drif: over the stuff you guys get!

[serendipity10410]

I am just not a name-brand person, i guess. DS's clothes are cheap too. I buy lots at Target and on-sale anywhere else :blush:

I think if i were not struggling with my weight constantly, i would invest in better clothes. But what fits me now will probably not fit me next year, hopefully anyway :giggle: I am also an awkward body shape to fit, so it's hard to find the right clothes.

[luvmykeikis]

90% of what I buy is clearance or outlet for all of us.

[mrsdi]

Megan--you're right..I remember that conversation Ashley was having about knit vs. interlock. Let's blame Ashley. :giggle: We :wub: you if you're around here lurking, Ashley!

Uhh...I dont know. Ive always hear people say they use a diaper sprayer if they had a pail. :dunno:

Bookmark this (http://www.diaperswappers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129834) page. I refer to it all of the time. :) It's quite helpful and should clear things up for you. As Megan said, some yarns go farther yardage-wise than others. Anything that says 'bulky' isn't going to get as much yardage.

I am a cheapskate with jeans, too. I think I've conditioned myself to hate jeans. I find a brand that fits me (I'm a weird size) and then I'll go back out and by 4 more pair and be done with it. :blush: So, right now it's Kohl's cheap-o jeans that fit me.

Uh, me too. I won't mention how much I've spent on jeans for myself before :hide:

I don't spend a lot of money on C's IRL clothes. (all cd-ing wool/fleece is a different story, but she gets SO much wear out of all CD pants.) It's funny, I have a ton of outfits for her that my SIL bought, and she's never worn the pants to them. I could list about 20 pair of pants NWT on FSOT right now, but I want to keep the matching shirts. :giggle:

Sara--I can actually say that I like Target's baby/kid clothes. That's where I've found many of C's shirts/sweaters/dresses. Their stuff is so cute, IMO. When she was first born, I was shopping at Gymbo all of the time. However, when I was packing up clothes from her early months, I realized that she may have only worn those pricey clothes once or twice. :cry:
Off to Target I went. :)
I have also found that for me...since I never go out anywhere, I wear pretty much the same outfits every day of the week. It's just one rotation of 7 outfits. :blush: The only time I'm in something other than jeans or a shirt/sweater is at yoga class. So, why spend $$ on clothes when I don't go anywhere? DH wants me to get dressed up to stay at home. Not happening.
