Amysarah - my god your orgainsed!!!

My top tips are
1) bouncer - dont worry about getting the one with all the bells and whistles, just one that you can pop you bubba in for a while, great in the kitchen so they can watch you and have a play - we got one with just a hoop over the top that toys hang off, but didnt really use that til she was 2.5-3mths old

2) TummyTub - the best baby bath in the world imo

3)body suits that popper under the nappy, singlets just ride up and are good only for underneth bodysiuits.

4) Some toys that are appropiate for older children - if ou have any friends with kids, they will be bored quickly and if your house is like mine and not toddler proof yet, you need somethings to entertain them with.

5) Rocking Chair - some people dont use theirs, but i use mine ever night for MJ night feeds, i dont leave her bedroom as she wakes up too much, i sit in the semi dark and feed and rock her and she settles soooo well

6)Grobag egg - measures room tempreture, fantastic in knowing whether to put another blanket on and also gives off an nice light

7) breathing sensor - we have a baby sense, loads of people have the angle care as it has a room thermomenter and audio monitor all in one, but our is just the alarm and we bought a cheap audio monitor. The angel care can sometimes pick up a ceiling fan, whereas the baby sense is more accurate... anyway, it has given us the ability to sleep without worry, the nights that she started to sleep through, i would just peek my head in the dor and see the light flash and know that she was just sleeping ... the first times that they sleep through can be a bit worring

hummm, there are more, but these are the ones that i am sooooo glad that i spent the money on and got

Congrats on the pg too

When you are desperate for a baby but know you have to wait you will do anything to fill in the time!! It's my little way of being able to dream! You should see my cupboard of things I already have! I guess it makes the waiting game a little bit calmer - plus I get to shop!
