I WANT A TRAMPOLINE

aites....dunno where the hormones came from but I want a trampoline.

Not for now, but for after I've delivered. I figured, a good 10 mins will get the heart pumping. So, I'm sure i can do that every morning or at night. Plus kids would love it! They have afterall broken one bed by jumping on it. So, i'll be providing the rite avenue for them...:)

I want a sewing machine. A simple one that doesn't hate me. One that'll do as i command it...lol. Why? Because i feel like making my own cloth pads and the idea of making pre-fitted diapers is turning me on.

Princess is on her own..

I can finally declare that Ayesha has weaned herself of me. She hasn't asked to be nursed for more than a week. Everyone is happy!!

Ayehsa started nursing on 16th August 2007 and finished nursing in March 2010. We have both done well, with no help of baby formula. Alhamdulillah! She is now drinking fresh milk and likes it cold. Moving around is slightly more difficult as we have to bring along her milk. Thank god for Dutch lady fresh milk that does not come refrigerated. The only setback is, she takes her milk in a bottle. :(

I can now stop worrying about having to tandem nurse. Phew! I do hope i'll manage to collect as much if not more EBM as compared to when i was nursing Ayesha.

Ayesha is also on her potty training mission. Her diaper stay dry throught the night. Hooray! Soon I'll have to dispose of the CDs and concentrate on boys diaper instead. :)

Antsy Pants Review

Now, here’s the latest CD I’ve tried on Ayesha….

My take:

Looks very nice, trim & sporty. The microfiber insert is good in the sense that it’s a big one layer that we fold. So, that reduces drying time.

The pants itsef. The colour is nice and bright. Cutting looks similar to mamypoko economy pants. I’d say, it trim enough to wear pants on it. Now, the pocket deserves a story all by itself. For days, I was wondering what is this hidden pocket that some mommies were referring to. Alas, on the last day that the CD stayed with me, I found the hidden pocket. So yeah, you can add extra booster in there. The insert, theoretically, its easy to put in. Just lay it. But its bulky and somehow, it refuses to sit nicely under its cover. I had to squash it in..poke here there..:) Upon observation of the pants, I found that the side waist elastic (the yellow part) does not look very convincing.

Wearing it was easy peasy. DD was standing watching tv and all she needed to do was lift up one leg at a time and pull up…J

Performance wise, I think DD urinated twice in it. It so happens that she wore it on the day that she too occupied to entertain the potty. So, upon 2nd urination, it leaked. Whole thing was soaking wet. And it dropped half way her bottom. ‘shy only’. That confirms my elasticity observation. Furthermore, I saw that DD’s tummy has a long red swell which indicates her skin’s intolerance towards the fabric.

So, off u go AP. May you serve another baby.

Potty Nightmare

Ayesha has started some potty training. During the day, she sometimes wear diapers, training pants or panties. Whichever she fancies.

She’s been obsessing over pink stuff since beginning of March. Imagine a 2 yo, who refuse to wear her diaper or clothing just because its not pink. Well, 2 ½ yo to be exact. A lil bit too early don’t you think? Luckily she has cloth diapers which comes in many colours and patterns. I’ve got 1 pink babycheeks, 1 Happy Heiny’s pink swirls, 1 Happy Heiny’s pink fairies, 1 pink Coolababy and 1 fushia Magic AIO Minky. The rest of her CD stash, is being kept for lil brother. Imagine if I had to depend on sposies….they come in ugly prints and mostly white base..I’d so be in trouble!

Anyway, back to her potty training. Although, she still have accidents, she can tell whenever she has urinate, and an immediate change is required whenever in diapers. This applies even during night times. She’ll cry, wanting a diaper change. And in the morning, she’ll use the toilet to urinate. Hooray for Ayesha!

Last night was different story. She was cranky, I’m thinking its those chocs that she ate during the day. Too much chocs for her tiny tummy! Young lady wanted to take off her diaper and sit at the toilet due to her tummy ache. She was sleepy, so I had to sit on the step stool & hug her. Argh! If only she’d settle for the diaper, a diaper change would be so much easier. We took 4 trips to the toilet and each session lasted for almost 30 mins. Alas! I’m so sleeeeeeppppyyyyy….

Baby #3...preparation

Just a few more months of pregnancy and I’ll have another cutie to play with..:)

This time around, I’m a bit laid back in my preparation. Amongst things that I’ve purchased are:

Some clothing
Ring sling
Cloth Diaper

Hah! What a ‘long’ list!

Although, the bulk of my purchases was on the CDs, I’m still obsessing on the matter. God help me!

So far I have :

Brand new..
11 Freshbots fitted size s
2 wonderfully cotton dyed prefolds (I think its infant size)
1 thirties duo cover

Will be used from Ayesha’s stash
2 Grobaby
1 babycheeks
1 bamboo blueberry
2 Tiny Tapir pockets
2 FB pocket ( don’t really fancy this anymore )
1 Drybees pocket (its flower prints…erm, not so boyish la)
5 regular prefolds (from Umar’s stash)
1 dozen of gauze flat (lampin)

That makes it a total of
3 cover
7 prefolds
11 fitted
7 pockets

Is that enough? Maybe 2 more covers will do it.
And a dozen of regular prefitted would be great.
I think for this baby, I’m gonna go big on prefolds. Found a tutorial on converting prefolds into prefitted and I want to do it. Then have it dyes or something like that..
I’m really hoping that baby will fit into the FB fitted. Or else, I’m down with 7 prefolds + lampin. Which is really not much. I’d hate to depend on sposies…Maybe I’ll get more prefolds….6 pieces for RM45? That’s only RM7.50 each. These prefolds would later make great inserts.
