Oh my gosh, so I have to dress Tyrell, then get in back in some PJ's then dress him before I take him to his carer......should be interesting. Just a thought I wonder if they want us in our PJ's aswell...LOL |

Uh ha! Glad I found this thread. All of Elle's pjs are all in one's and none are very pretty. Hmmm, maybe a good time for a trip to the shops me think! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Well we were first up. Tyrell just wanted to play with the camera man ( not like my boy at all) he was very nice and friendly. We had shots taken in the clothes I took him in and then some in his pj's. Now I was told to hold him still like he is nice and relaxed. HA LOL my 10 month is just so active and just wanted to explore. We had fun, my boy was happy as. Not the best example of relaxing product. They were all head shots of us and I had to go check to check or kiss him....nice look lip gloss on his cheeks. (I can add that other than my fat checks and double chins that is all you see of me. Photoshop is going to be used )

Head shots? I guess that means I don't need to worry about what I wear then huh? (Other than makeup of course!) Wouldn't you know it...the day of the photoshoot and I get a funny red, bloodshot eye...nice! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

The photographer was really nice and friendly wasn't he ladies! Oh Amy I wish I had thought to ask him if we could have some photos of Alyssa in her normal clothes cause I put her in a nice dress initially but changed her into the pj's stright away.
She wouldn't co-operate much with the lying down shots as she just wanted to roll over and crawl around but I think she did ok and only cried a little.. I'm totally relieved the photos don't really show me in them as I'm not into the double chin shots I usually produce these days! |

The photographer will get good shots if lying down is involved as although she is 9mths Elle doesn't move anywhere...no rolling or crawling so she will happily stay put ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I think because we were first he had to get some to make sure he had set the lights up properly. I stressed about what to wear, as I am still carrying A LOT of weight and have nothing nice. Sure did stress for nothing! I thought all men there were really nice especially..... |

We are getting ours done at 3.30. So the Mums aren't really in the shot then? So it doesn't matter what I wear? ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

LOL Pepsi....... I think you are lucky in my shots to see anything other than the top of my head. I had to look at Tyrell the whole time. (that is what I was intrusted to do LOL) FionaS maybe just make sure your hair is nice LOL I am pleased I did my hair this morning. |
Posted By: pepsi
Date Posted: 30 May 2007 at 2:57pm

Nah, it doesn't really matter what you wear. Everyone seems to be given different poses depending on what the photographer wants to do, but ultimately I think we are just there to hold the baby and may just see a part of our heads/face/arm kind of thing...

Pepsi did say he was cute out loud!!!! LOL
Your photos will be gorg Pepsi...and sorry but you will def be in them but i didnt see any double chin the way you were posed - the shots were beautiful! I did put on makeup as i left the house - just in case....luckily!!! As for my double chin...OMG please please please photoshop!!! AND I wore a top that gaped and when ella grabbed it i had to keep rearranging it...but then she went all totally CUTE and snuggled her head into me etc so we went with that...she was in her element just lying there snuggling!! and i love smelling her head so we were both happy! OH and guess what - she FARTED her way through the photo shoot - yes out LOUD - even the photographer laughed! And then the gigantapoop that i hoped would stay away for the shoot arrived when we got home - good timing today!!! and FINALLY she is asleep - my timing today was perfect!

It was really nice to meet you and gorgeous BBS in person today, even if it wasn't for very long. I would have stuck around to see your photo shoot too, but Alyssa was tired and getting grizzly so had to get her out of there before she caused a scene! I assumed that they would just pick certain people for the advertising depending on what sort of results you had from the trial itself? LOL about the big fart! Little baby girls are always the most ladylike aren't they! |

Date Posted: 30 May 2007 at 5:06pm
They were really nice 
I hope they don't include me in the pics as they had me literally draped over the bean bag - it felt very odd! Elle did a great job perfecting the stunned mullet look! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

poor photographer - today he has had (sorry if i missed someone out) but Gabriella, Alyssa, Tyrell and Gabrielle, and I shortened bubs to Ella...he was so confused by the similar names poor guy!!! He was so lovely tho and Ella really responded to him which was nice...
still will need that photoshopping tho!!!
Pepsi - No worries re leaving....she had enough by then...but i def think there will be some great shots of you guys...you posed well!!! and grandma in background was having a great time too trying to make alyssa notice her....LOL!!! |

BellaBabysMum - Ella is BEAUTIFUL! What a lovely we girl. Elle is still basically bald so just doesn't look as girly. LOL at the expression though! Priceless!
Does anyone know how they will choose which photos they use? I presume we won't all be used in the advertising. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |
Posted By: Guests
Date Posted: 31 May 2007 at 7:17am

I am not sure FionaS, I would be interested to know. When they just advertise and we find out that way? Tyrell was just so taken by the photographer, he walked to him at 1 stage while the guy was sitting and I am all "sorry, sorry" he said it is ok, he looked like he had a wee tear in his eye and said I have 4 children but they are all so grown up compared to Tyrell. He was just such a nice guy. |
Posted By: Two Blondinis
Date Posted: 31 May 2007 at 9:09am
He was lovely aye? (and the J&J guy LOL  )
It will be interesting to see who they use and how etc. Caitlin was hyper!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Hey Sleep Trial ladies! We need your review sheets ASAP so we can compile the results and get the article written. Could you please email them to me at mailto:katherine@ohbaby.co.nz - katherine@ohbaby.co.nz , or if you want to post them, PM me and I'll send you my address! Looking forward to seeing them! :) Katherine |

i thought we were returning them to the address on the back page??? I was going to post tomorrow as mine is complete...
luckily the photos were the other day as ella has now scratched her face - argh! |

Since Ang is going to have her baby any minute now, I'm trying to take as much off her plate as I can -- the address on the back is hers, but if you could post them to me, that would be much easier (since I'll have to get them from her anyway, and would rather just let her rest up in preparation for the big event!). Bombshell, I want to meet up with you about the nappy thing as well, so maybe I can just pick your review up then... Did you get my PM? :) Talk to me, woman! |

Francesca was fine in the shoot - except the photographer wanted her to not look so alert and awake! I said she has two looks, alert or asleep with her eyes closed - there is no inbetween!! :lol: ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi again, ladies! Just a reminder -- if you haven't sent me your Sleep Trial forms, I need them by Wednesday at the latest, as I've got to hand the article in on Friday. So far I've got them from: Natalie PM me if you need my address! :) |

| Hi again, ladies -- just an update on your freebies from Johnson's! As soon as I receive all the feedback forms, I'll let Johnson's know your preferences for wipes and they will send the goodies directly to you. The photos will likely take some time to come back to you, as they will need to decide which ones they are using for the article and profiles, so hang in there. :) |
Posted By: Katherine
Date Posted: 21 June 2007 at 2:46pm
| Hey mums, I've just heard from Johnson's that they'll be sending your wipes to you early next month. They're waiting on the shipment of NEW Johnson's baby bags, which will arrive near the end of the month, rather than sending you the old ones. So hooray for cool stuff! Be patient... When they come, they will be worth it. :) |

|
Posted By: Katherine
Date Posted: 21 June 2007 at 6:17pm
| No, they haven't forgotten! But keep in mind that the process for getting trial results like these published is a very long one and has several steps -- they will likely not get your photos to you for several weeks, and they will come separately from the wipes and baby bags. :) |

ooh did i tell you what wipes i wanted...i dont think so.....but if i didnt - then i dont really mind....think they only do skincare and cleansing ones anyways so whatever is good for me....
I figured photos might be a month at least so wasnt worried too much about them.... |
