True true.
I think the diaper should sit above the belly button just because I don''t think they make diaper bikini style

Hmm....didn''t see the size 2-3 for pampers at Sams Club,
so it''ll just have to be size 3.

You know, Huggies are more giving in the thigh areas because the flap sits much higher.
 
MrsS
J is definitely no where as long as Amelia and Co,
but I think her weight is well into 14 lbs.

How about Jake?
When is your appt?
Remember to update us with his pics.

Size 2? J''s got some booty cuz she was in size 3 weeks ago!

Maybe I am being a bad mom and making her wear them budgee smuggler (speedo) style? You should see her in the 1-2''s I still put her on her because we got a box as a gift and I still have a ton of them!


OK, stupid question, but do they sit above her belly button or below???

TGal it is so obvious you are married to an Aussie with that last quote!!! Budgie Smuggler - absolute favourite saying in our house to describe speedos, just never thought of it in terms of nappies. But I hear what you are saying - for the longest time with both my kids I was too scared to buy nappies in bulk in case they grew out of them. I initially preferred huggies for their absorption but hated paying the premium. Do you have a chain of stores called Aldi over there? They are a German (I think) discount store and their nappies are fantastic in all conditions. Ask your inlaws - they should probably know what I am referring to.

Oh and Lili, I absolutely agree with you that nappies should sit above the belly button.
 
Well, Amelia is apparently the Britney Spears of the diaper wearing crowd with her low riders. Hee hee. But she''s just so long that I am not sure how this would work. The 2''s are pretty loose at the thigh. I will, however, quit stuffing her into the Kirkland 1-2''s.

Someone near me needs to have a child because I have a ton of diapers I need to give away. Not to mention I just filled a huge box full of 0-3 month clothes, of which over HALF have never been worn! Why is it that everyone always gives you clothes from the 0-3 month range and most of those are dresses? I think Amelia has worn 2 dresses in 4 months.

SS, no, we don''t have them here. However when I go to Adelaide this Christmas, I will be sure to keep that in mind!!
 
hi mommies!

just popping in b/c coincidentally i''m trying to figure out how to stock up on diapers. I was thinking one box of newborn (92 count), one value box of size 1''s (200). And a value pack of wipes and some diaper cream. Am I getting ahead of myself? Seems like some of your little girls grew out of the 1''s quickly!

My shower is this wkend and not much has been touched from my registry. I''m afraid I might end up with tons of 0-3 mo''s clothes too! Arg..I mean I need a few, but not tons!
 
Good to know that I am not the only one that doesnt know what size diapers to put on my little guy. He is in size 4''s but they are too big. However, the size threes cause irritation around the sides as if they are too tight. so he wears these HUGE diapers...at least they dont leak!!

There are some beautiful babies on here (and beautiful families..SDL what a gorgeous pic with your kids!)

I''d hold off on the newborns (you can take a few from the hospital to tide you over). A lot of babies go straight into size 1''s depending on how big they are.

And a tip...pampers swaddler SENSITIVE has the indicator strip. I wish I had known that when Amelia was a newborn because we had the regular swaddlers and it was often a huge mystery if she peed or not. The indicator strip will save you diapers and wasted time checking her diaper. When they are bigger, it''s definitely obvious though!
 
Hello Mommies!

Sorry, I haven''t been able to keep up with this thread! I''ve been MIA for a while since Amelia was born, but I just wanted to share a few pics of her, since you''ve all posted adorable pics of your sweet babies!

She''s 11 weeks old today.

I agree the indicator strip is awesome. That''s the one our hospital used, so it was so easy to know if she needs to be changed. We took the like 20 diapers home from the hospital. At home, I''ve bought a small pack of Huggies because I had a bunch of coupons. Well they don''t have indicator and I have to undo the diapers to check if she peed. It was kind of PITA. I sent DH out to get some pampers sensitive swaddler.

If your baby doesn''t go straight to size 1, a box of 96 count newborn diapers is a good amount to have on hand. We used up the pack of 40 counts Huggies in 4 days.
 
Mrs Mitchell - she is a cutie pie.
 
Mrs. Mitchell, she is pretty darling!!!! Jas12, Co, so adorable, love the giggle pic!!! Jadeleaves, buttons is so handsome! Q, Meena is beautiful! Mrs. Flutter, you son is adoable!! All the babies are dolls!!!
36.gif
 
Thank you Q & Skippy! SDL, do you have pics? I never saw a baby with hair before Amelia was born, but I think they are adorable! It was such a surprise to me- not whatt I imagined she''d look like at all.

Jen
 
jas12- love the pic of cohen in the bumbo. we don't have one but I took my girls to get hair cuts and they had them at the salon. here's jake in the nice purple one too. He LOVED it. i really should get him one. wish I could find one second hand.

tgal- Jake is in Huggies 2's. I think we'll move up to 3's when this box is gone. they hit kinda right at his belly button but he's almost got a plumber diaper going on. I gave my sister about half of a kirkland box of the 1-2's b/c jake was just too big and he looked like he could swim for the USA swim team, the diaper was so tiny
3.gif
oh and YAY for Amelia's torticollis going away
36.gif


lili- Jake's goes to the dr. on tues. so i'll have updated stats then.

mrsm- i can't believe all the hair your amelia has..she's too cute!

so, i'm off in a bit to get my hair cut...we'll see how it turns out...
 
oops, forgot the pic...


ETA: sorry that is soooo big...,.

bumbopurplej.jpg
 
Tgal--Cohen is mostly in cloth diapers, but when i do use disposables he is in huggies size 2 and they sit at his belly button.
Our bugs need to trade bumbos--that is so funny, yet another coincidence.
Totally off the topic of babies, i am reading "bright shiny morning'' by James Frye and it''s a personality landscape of LA (with historical bits b/w each character''s story) really makes me want to visit!

MM--ahhh, amelia is scrumptious--that hair!

MrsS--another seriously handsome boy
30.gif
c
can''t wait to see a pic of the new ''do (and u will post one won''t you?)

all this talk of new hairdos has me reeeaally wanting a new style, my hair just lies lifeless with no style at all, a bob is appealing but i am just not sure my round face will compliment it (all those "what styles compliment your face shape" articles in mags say no
40.gif
 
Thanks Jas! I''m going to have to get her bangs trimmed soon - they''re almost down to her eyebrows!

MrsS, Jake is beyond cute in that bumbo. I think I need to get one too, especially if it makes a haircut easier!

Tgal, your Amelia is a gorgeous little poppet! Must go with the name

Jen
 
MrsMitchell
Another adorable Amelia!
Look at all those hair and that smile!
You can see she''s going to be a playful one.

MrsS.
Yup, Jake''s another handsome cutie.
These bumbo shots are too cute.
I was thinking about getting Jadie one, but somehow I think she''ll be one of those who would topple over by arching her back.
She''s already squirming to get loose when she''s strapped in her carseat!
Can''t wait to see your new ''do.

Speaking of new ''do.
I think someone (Ella) owe us a long overdued shot of hers
41.gif



Jas12
I agree with TGal, we need some nekkid pictures (w/ diapers) of the babies.
Co''s cow-print diaper was too cut.
Oh hey, is it you who''s going on a cruise soon?
Was wondering how much the fare is for Co?
I know some cruiseline charges an exorbitant amount for infants (somewhere in the neighborhood of 70% of full fair).
 
ok, so I''m back from the hair salon. i went to a new guy and he was awesome. loved him. I showed him the picture of the short hair and he was like...ummm no, too short for you and too much work (like you said diver.) So then I showed him the bangs and he shot that down too, he said with my wavy hair they would take a lot of time to style. i did ask him to do my hair wavy b/c they always blow dry and flat iron and with 3 kids, that isn''t going to happen. so, he took about 3 inches off the back, added some layers and really shaped it up. I love it. he used some curling product and a difuser. the pics are from a camera phone so not great, but you can get the idea.

mrsjhair.jpg
 
here's the back. it's hard to tell but he styled my hair so it has ringlet like curls. it was super easy...and believe or not, he did take off a few inches...my hair was just waaaaaaay to long...it's still pretty long though.

mrshairback.jpg
 
MrsS,

Aside from the lovely curls I see, I probably would not have guessed you've cut your hair.
It looked about the same length as your last haircut :)

You look lovely by the way....I'd never guessed you are a mother of 3.
 
TGal, Jas12, MrsS
Size 2 and just moving in size 3?
Now I feel like Jadie has a big tushie cuz she''s been in size 3 since I don''t know when.
We already used up one box of 164!
 
MrsS--the hair looks great! But since you are so pretty i am sure anything would look good on you.
I flat iron my hair each day (takes just a min b/c i already have straight hair) but b/w blow drying and the iron + make up i don''t have time or want to make time for anything else.i can only imagine what 3 kids would do to the AM routine. I need someone to show me how to style it like your guy did-that is key.

Lili--i''ll get a pic of Co in his nappies tomorrow
1.gif
Take one of J--we need to see that size 3 tushie lol. and yes, cruises do charge WAY too much for an infant ($600) i have no idea what i am paying for since he does not eat or drink, used the childcare services etc. Crazy. My MIL keeps trying to convice me to leave Cohen with her. Aside from the stupid amount of pumping that would have to take place-probably not even possible--i would not leave him for 2 weeks.
--How goes the sleep battle? How often is J feeding now--can she go through the night yet?
 
MrsS, Jake is adorable! He''s getting big. The bumbo pictures are so cute. I love your new haircut. You look great!
 
Hello mommies! We started meetings this week for teachers so I''m pretty much back to work. YUCK! I''m seriously depressed about going back.

RE teething tablets: thanks everyone for your input. I have still been giving them to her. Seem to help some (speaking of we have tooth number 2!!!
36.gif
)

msf~Those pics of Ian are so cute!!! Those blue eyes...gonna capture the heart of some lucky girl (YEARS from now!
2.gif
9.gif
)

Jade~Button is too cute!! Congrats on baby number two!!

Ella~How are you and the kiddos? How was the trip?

Curly~Thanks! We do motrin at night. T seems to do better with motrin or tylenol too. Yay for a good 15 mo appt!

snlee~Thanks! Sorry you''ve had some rough times. Cute babies make everything better, don''t they?
3.gif


SDL~Your family is beautiful! I really hope I''m able to get DH past only having two kids.....I so want four, but I''d settle for 3.

Jas~Cute pics! Don''t you just love the bumbo?!

Tgal~Good news on the Torticollis!!

RE diaper sizes: T is probably around 18 pounds and she''s in Huggies size 3''s. They cover her belly button when I put them on, but after she gets moving, they don''t. I think she''ll probably be in them for a while longer. I think we need to see pics of Miss J in her size 3''s!!

mrs mitchell~Amelia seriously looks like a doll! So cute. And the hair!! So glad everything is going well. I was wondering about you the other day.

mrss~Your hair is so cute. I can totally relate to the wavy hair. Do you mind sharing what product your stylist used for the curls? Oh, and Jake looks so big and cute in the bumbo pic.

In Tayva news: Tooth number two popped through yesterday. She handled it like a champ. She''s so close to crawling I can''t stand it. She pushes herself up and rocks and rocks and she''ll get her legs going and maybe one arm and then plops down, just to do it all over again. It''s pretty funny. And, in acid reflux land, I played mommy nurse and tried to phase out her meds. BAD idea. Should leave that to the doc. I feel so badly but she was doing so good and I just worry about her being on meds for so long. I started by just giving her one dose a day (instead of her normal 2) the past couple days and it went so well I didn''t give her any prilosec today and she was never unhappy, just pretty spitty. So, I didn''t give her any before bed and she was up SCREAMING a half hour after she went down. Will be giving her prilosec tomorrow. Learned my lesson.
15.gif
Okay. Off to bed.
 
MrsM, your Amelia is darling! She looks so mature...you almost expect her to talk like an adult or something! It''s probably the hair and expressive face? LOVE the hair...how awesome is that. You''re lucky you don''t have check out your kid''s head from time to time, wondering when the hair is going to come in!

MrsS, lol about Jake being on the swim team. I think I probably have the right size diaper on Amelia then. I''ll get the 2-3''s for the next box. Love that pic of Jake, and I find it so funny that our PS boys are in lavender bumbos. I took some photos of Amelia in her blue one so I''ll post pics.

Your hair looks awesome...really pretty and I love the curls!

Jas, I do hope you get to visit LA someday...and I hope you like it. It''s a hostile city to tourists...in my opinion anyway. And I think you''d look great with a bob...I don''t think you have a round face...it''s svelte and lovely!

lili, I JUST moved to size 2''s. I was using size ones as late as last week. They were ridiculous though and I was just trying to use them up. I''m lame, I admit it. I agree with the others. We SO have to see J in her 3''s...I should post A with her 1''s as the joke of the day!!

Burk, hooray for teeth! Aw...poor Tayva tonight. I can understand why you did what you did though...drugs make me nervous. I even hate giving Amelia tylenol but I know we all gotta do what''s right for the kiddies.
 
TGal
I know. You just moved Amelia to size 2.
Co is in a size 2.
MrsS just moved or will move Jake soon to a size 3 and we know that Jakie was a big boy from the get go
5.gif

And here we have J being a veteran in her size 3!

Haha, I'll post a pix. Her daddy will probably kill me for it if he finds out.
And if her daddy doesn't get to me, she will when she's older.

lol, too funny lili.

I''m uploading the bumbo pix now. Will take a diaper pix early next week when I have more time because my inlaws are going to take a road trip.
 
Burk
Yay for teeth.
Would love to see her chiclet grin when you get a chance.
I''m wondering if Jadie is going to have her teeth soon, cuz she''s been gnawing on my finger and chins whenever she get the chance.

Don''t feel bad about trying to reduce Tayva''s medication.
I''m the same way with medications, even topical ones.
Hope she can sleep through the night.
