This past week has been quite eventful. After the somewhat failed anatomy/anomaly scan last week, we headed into the new week via the weekend - and on Saturday we headed out to both Peterborough and Cambridge for the NCT Nearly New Sales. We were looking for prams and baby clothes, a pram we didn't find but we did find a good haul of clothes for 23 pounds. I did try to find the most gender neutral clothes that I wouldn't mind wearing myself. Here's a selection...
On the weekend I filled out the Nappy Lady's questionnaire about reusable nappies, so she'd be able to give her opinion on what kind of nappies would suit us well. We got our advice and she recommends Little Lamb Microfibre nappies as the base and Motherease Airflow as the wrap. I got very excited and wanted to go and buy everything immediately, until some sense prevailed. I did look up where to find pencil roving for knitting woolly wraps for the diapers tho - we'll probably start with just muslins, Nappi Nippas and woollies. I'm so excited about it!
I set up some eBay searches for the Chicco Next2Me crib last week, and have been following up on what pops up in the vicinity of both ours and inlaws. Wednesday, before our appointment at the hospital for a second attempt for the ultrasound scans, the Bears workmate asked if we need baby kit as they'd have a crib and a baby mattress(?) for sale. Turns out, they had the exact Chicco crib we've been interested in, and a Cocoonababy mattress-pillow - thingamajig. Hearing this I was so excited I started to tremble. Today, we got the stuff and proceeded in setting it up next to our bed to try out how they fit and work...
And returning to the anatomy/anomaly scan, the ultrasound technician Maxine managed to finally get everything needed from the Larva and everything is all right. We did have to go have a hot coffee in the middle as it wasn't co-operating with showing it's heart properly. We did get some more pictures though...
