Due Oct-Dec 08??

Hi everyone,

Sorry no contact for so long, I have been away on business for a couple of weeks.

I am loving my 23 weeks pregnancy - baby is kicking the hell out of me, we found out its a boy which I am delighted about and have indulged in quite a lot of shopping already!!

About to book my hypnobirthing at Annerley, purpleflower - how bad was the last antenatal at Tsun Yak, I am so relieved they are over I just do not feel like I learnt anything!

Anyway - look forward to seeing most of you for lunch tomorrow

Katie
 
Hey everyone,

Great meeting all of you guys again today!! Everyone remember to PM your email addy to Bubbly!!

Catch up soon!!
 
Hey Guys,

This may sound like a bit of a stupid question but, with regards to cot sheets, why do they always sell them as a set of fitted + flat sheet? Do we need to use both? Just that the fitted sheets aren't the right size... so can we just use the flat sheets?
 
i've been running araound all day to find a maxi cosi stroller, with carrying cot. but non of the shops i went have ever heard of it. i visited the web site, and there definately is such a thing. does anyone know where i can get it?
buyin babystuff isn't as easy as i thought.....
 
I had my ultrasound and my doctors appt at Tsan Yuk this week - I have to say that beside the waiting time (MUST take book - I drained my phone battery playing games on it!!), I was really impressed with them!! They were MUCH better than I even expected!! I didn't bother asking for a doctor rather than a trainee - but even so, they were really professional and friendly and everything!! I was actually happier there than I have been with some of the private doctors!!
 
Nicole, was that the ultrasound at QMH? I agree that the staff at Tsan Yuk/QMH seem very nice.... but the follow up appointments do really seem pointless! You'll definitely need a book for those! They just do the routine check you urine, bp and then you wait to see another nurse who checks your fundal height and listen to the heartbeat (I admit the first couple of times hearing it was really exciting) but now when you spend all that time waiting to just hear the 2 seconds.....

Nina - do you mean carry cot as in the flat ones? I've only ever seen maxi cosi car seats (I think), not carry cots. The only ones we've seen are the Chicco ones, hence we're going for the Chicco. If you do find it, let us know! (alternatively, see if you can find it from an online company that's willing to ship to HK - may work out cheaper!)
 
PF- you can check the website maxi-cosi.com, have a look at the maxi cosi city cx, it comes with a flat carry cot. there is also a number for hong kong, will try again on monday. see what they say. thanks for your tip, will definately have a look.
 
Purpleflower,

For sheets, you either buy flat sheets or fitted sheets (the ones with elastic at the corners). You do not need both. The advantage of flat sheets are that they fit any size cots, whereas the advantage of fitted ones are that they will not come out eve if the baby pulls or turns or does whatever in the cot (which they do). I love fitted ones as it's so easy to change sheets but of course you need to find the right size. Mothercare should have all sizes.

The only thing other than sheets you need will be protective cover (waterproof) for the mattress, so that if the baby wets the bed, spill things on it or vomits, it won't damage the mattress.

Ninah,

In HK, most strollers sold do not come with a carry cot, the exceptions are Bugaboo and Chicco. An alternative that people do is use a carseat carry cot which fits onto a lot of strollers. I have one of these strollers and also a Jacadi Maxi cosi car seat for sale so I can photograph it to show you what I mean.
Hope that helps.

Click to expand...

That appointment was at Tsan Yuk hospital - they did the ultrasound there.

My next appointments are going to be somewhere in North Point. I'm happy - it's less than 5 minutes from my house! And my appointment is at 9am, so hopefully I get in quickly because that should be one of the first appointments of the day. I'll go a little earlier just to be sure...

We bought an NDS today so I've got some other mindless entertainments for waits etc ;)
