A few last minute purchases:

| Love To Swaddle Up (image via www.mothercare.com.au) |
We used these for our first baby and they are so great! Makes midnight changes much quicker and bubs sleeps a lot better due to not being able to wriggle out of it! Had to buy a couple of new ones though as the old ones are pretty grubby, even after soaking.

| Prince Lionheart Change Table Diaper Caddy (image via www.okme.com.au) |
I've been looking for this for ages. Finally managed to order one last night. Just makes change time easier as everything is right there so you don't have to go rummaging around the shelves of the change table for wipes, nappies etc. Would like to have gotten the wipes warmer too but I think it's a bit gimmicky.

| Living Textiles 'Ollie' Blanket (image via www.babyzonedirect.com.au) |
I ordered a handmade blanket from Etsy for the munchkin and I absolutely love it but the seller doesn't make them anymore dammit and I wanted something a bit special for the new baby. I've searched high and low for a nice blanket and while this isn't particularly 'special' it's quite cute and a good size.
Still looking for a portable change mat to shove in the baby bag and I like the Skip Hop ones but I think $60 is a bit much to spend on something like that and I can't seem to find much else in the shops. Might just end up using a towel or something for a while.
We are really struggling to think of a boys name! We had a name chosen but a close friend just used it! We hadn't spoken about it so it was a total coincidence! We'd like something classic but they seem to be very popular at the moment and we can't seem to think of anything that hasn't been used by someone we know already. Any suggestions are welcome!
I made my own portable change mat... there's two of them floating about somewhere if you are interested. But I saw the ones in Bigw or something, it had pockets for nappy and plastic lining and you fold it up compactly. The swaddle made me laugh. I think it was this one and the woombie (i can't remember) that the mothers in my DIG (due in group) loved. I just did normal flannelette wraps.
ReplyDeleteThat's very creative of you! I never thought to make it myself :)
DeleteOh gosh that cute wriggly swaddle thing is adorable. (Can you tell I dont have kids, I have no idea about the terminology)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeh it's pretty cute :)
DeleteYay Ramastar your back to blogging! I thought you were away from your blog for so long you might of had a new baby post coming up - but your still cooking. I couldn't decide on a travel change mat, so I just got the disposable change mats from woolies. And they have been great, I hardly change bub when we are out so I don't go through that many of them for the cost to be that much - and the best things is if you get poo/wee on them you don't have to cart them home and wash them - you just throw them away :-).
ReplyDeleteI tried the disposable ones last time but I would run out and forget to buy more :/
DeleteI love that swaddly thing too, i would rather like to buy one for my cat but i don't think she would be too impressed x
ReplyDeleteI used to put my cat in my back pack lol she hated it
DeleteI was waiting for the birth announcement too. :p You must be getting sooooo close now.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of that caddy as well, such a shame I didn't think of that when the Chubster was born.
The caddy doesn't fit my change table grrrr very annoying, I had to attach it with string!
DeleteBaby baby baby yet? :) xxx
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes! Have finally just done a blog post!
