Hellobee Boards

@ShootingStar: OMG that leading lady one looks like my first training bra! I think I might get the bravado one instead of that, so many people seem to love it. Super glad to see you have an underwire reco, though--underwire is the best. and yeah, I'm not loving my newfound cleavage, either I think for now I'll just get 1 bra in like a month, and then try your second one when I see how alien and huge they get? thxx as always

Pretty much done!! (except putting pictures in the wall frames )

@mrschickpea: details on that basket next to dresser- so stinking cute!!!

@mrschickpea: Ah, I didn't get notified there was anything new to see here. The room looks amazing! Nicely done

@mrschickpea: the room looks beautiful, nice work!

@mrschickpea: In the middle basket of your white little stand, it looks like you have some rolled up "blankets." What exactly are those? I've received a lot of those, I think, amongst the hand-me-downs friends have given to me. I could just ask them, but I haven't yet. But what do you do with those little rolled up blankets? They don't seem like actual blankets or swaddlers.

@agold: all of them are Aden & Anais muslin swaddles I believe! We plan on using them for swaddling, burping, car seat canopies, and everything in between

@T.H.O.U.: @mrschickpea: I currently have 7 aden & anais muslin blankets and then about 15 or 20 of the other cotton kinds. Does that seem like a sufficient amount? I feel like the muslin ones are a little fancier and I can't imagine using it to wipe up throw up or whatever unless in a bind. But the other cotton ones seem a little more multi purpose.

@mrschickpea: Your nursery looks beautiful! Such a lovely, serene environment for your LO.

@agold: One of the funniest parts of being a new parent is laughing at yourself (and with your DH) about doing things you swore you never would, situations you didn't imagine/anticipate, etc.

@agold: Use them for it! We had a ton that barely ever got used. DH for some reason bought like a million of them. No joke, I have a set in a box I never even opened. Spit up happens, and muslin washes really easily. Better they get some use than just sit there .

@T.H.O.U.: I feel like I have the same set of blankets that you have. And yes.... I'm totally imagining poop getting all over everything!!

Speaking of poop getting on things.... what kind of laundry hamper do you girls have for your baby nurseries? I got some sort of wicker one from land of nod, but the liner I bought to go in it doesn't actually fit. I don't think I want a wicker hamper without a liner because of cleaning concerns. So what kind do you all have and do you have it in or out of the closet??

@agold: I'd 100% recommend plastic due to the potential wetness of baby's clothes. For my son's room, we've just been using a small square plastic bin from Target. Haven't gotten anything yet for baby girl's room. In the beginning, we just put everything in the bigger laundry basket in our room since we washed everything together.

@pregnantbee: I like that one!!!!

We have a wicker hamper with a cloth liner for DS. We never had any problems with things getting gross though. If something got pooped on I washed it right away. We never had much issue with just pee. I got tired of dealing the liner though, so for DD I got a canvas hamper that's treated on the inside so it's wipeable. http://m.landofnod.com/i-think-i-canvas-pink-hamper/s465685

@T.H.O.U.: We had something similar in the living room with DS. We had a changing table there and kept a bunch of burp cloths, cloth wipes, and a wet bag for dirty stuff.

@LCTBQE: I'd get at least 3 nursing bras b/c there's always the possibility of spit-up and other yucky things landing on it. You'd want an extra available at all times between washes.
