    oh lovely not long to go. I love babies and am so pleased for you. If the £200 feels like a bonus use it to make yourselves happy (or put it away for nappies)

    Why not give them a list of whatever else you need (car seat, bottles, bedding, reusable nappies bouncy chair etc) or of things you would like but aren't essential (moses basket, sling, christening outfit etc) and let them choose what to buy with the £200?

    The you still get your pram AND they get to spend dosh on the new sproglet!

    All the best - my mate had a girl 10 days ago, Isabella, & she's gorgeous.
