  • I never even looked at or thought about baskets under prams when picking. I doubt I'd use it anyway. Just went to look now if the bee 3 even had one.

    Changing bags. I know it's only a small thing really, but I've always been handbag crazy and it's leaked over into changing bags. I've wish listed about 12 on Amazon and am trying to pick between them. Was toying with the idea of having one in each car and a spare so I didn't really need to choose, but that seems a little crazy.

    I've been told we HAVE to have a "Ewan the dream sheep". So many people have recommended him. Helps settle the baby, playing heart beat sounds and mimicking being in the womb to soothe them. The reviews are all out of this world. So that seems like another must order.
    I feel sorry for the poor delivery drivers coming here every day at the moment. We have a big order from ikea coming this week, rocking chair from eBay and about 6 different deliveries from Amazon. Just when I think we have ordered or thought about everything there's more!

    Well I survived the Manics gig! Loved it. Luckily there was loads of unreserved seating available so we got a good seat and stayed there for the duration. Only needed one toilet break too! Strangely baby was quiet through most of it though I got a few kicks during the new Wales football song and then for the fireworks at the end :).

  • I've used many friend pram baskets to stow my own shopping when in town with them so I just happened to notice that it wasn't big, plus I think it was mentioned in a review. If you don't use the basket then fair enough, but you will probably end up using it more than you think.. Esp once LO gets big enough to need toys etc when going out or for extra blankets/jackets when it's colder weather

    We haven't even really started getting bits and my head is already spinning with all the variety of brands, choices, 'must haves', it's all too
    Much when I have no idea where to begin!

    Catherine Bessie was born at 1.22am this morning weighing 7lbs 15oz sat 38weeks +3.

    Basically to cut a long story short was taken to labour wars Saturday morning, waters broke and drip started. My body hated the drip as I was contracting severely every minute. Got an epidural which was absolutely amazing. Made it to 10cm dialated to find out she was back to back and in a very awkward position so doc decided to go an emergency section. This was fine but I lost a lot of blood so in high dependency unit.

    Catherine is so content and has taking to breast feeding amazingly. So happy! :D
