How metric is NZ?
 

I know you lot down there use kilometres, and I'm happy enough with that. ;)

Are fruits and veggies weighed in pounds and ounces or kilos? How about newborn babies?

Are people's heights in feet and inches, or in metres and centimetres?

Can't think of anything else right now...

Ha... can answer the baby one for you!! :D They are weighed in KGs!! But the midwifes are happy to convert the weight to pounds for you if you ask. My midwife has a converter she uses so obviously its a thing that happens regularly. If somebody tells me their baby weighed 3 and a half kilos I just look at them blankly... :o

Fruit and veggies are in KGs too.

Yeah! they use metric. At work I have to take people's height in cm's - still can't compare with imperial.

Sarah - how are you and bubs, are you getting more sleep now.

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

Definitely metric.

Hiya.... on and off really. Wednesday night was awful as she wanted her bottle every single hour without fail... got no sleep at all. She also seems to dislike her moses basket and wont settle in it at all. Last night I decided that things cant get any worse and tried her in her cotbed... she looked a bit lost in there! She fell asleep straight away and woke once for her bottle at 3am and then slept like a good-un til 6am. Maybe just flukey or maybe the mattress is a lot more comfortable? I still feel tired though. :D

Stick a nipple in the mouth. Works on me :rofl:

Congratulations Sarah. I must have been away when she arrived :)

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

Thanks... she was born 10th January. Did you have a good trip??

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

Yes :thumbup:

Now back to your nipples. Where were we? :D

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

Nowhere!! lol.... totally off topic for the poor OP!! BTW I'm bottle feeding and milk just about all dried up now... been left with yet bigger boobs again though! :D :D

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

cant believe this thread is on about the size of boobs!

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

what do you expect when jacks involved!!

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

Ok back on topic :)

What size in metric are your norks now Sarah?

:rofl:

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

lol.... my OH says they are huge.... I keep telling him when I lose the weight Ive gained they will get smaller again. Lets change the subject! :rofl:

Re: How metric is NZ?
 

:lol: Well that took a weird turn, but it's great to see you online Sarah! *waves*

That reminds me... so bra sizes are in centimetres too? I think I'll be carrying a tape measure around with me for the first few years. :lol: Uh... not that I'll go up to women wanting to measure their boobs or anything :ohmy: ... I'll leave that kind of thing to Doctor Jack. LOL!
