Hi!

to the newbies! Wishing you as happy, healthy & complication-free time with us!

LM: I too have entered the world of unintentional naps! For me, I wasn't tired much at all in the first tri, and it's only been the last few weeks it's hit me so I guess everyone's different! As for the birth, a tip that I've been told, don't bother texting anyone to say "it's started" (except maybe immediate family). Otherwise you end up with people bombarding you and the hospital with calls when if they think you've taken too long & haven't called them. Just wait until it's arrived and then send the "it's here!" text. People tend to get a little antsy and TBH a little selfish and forget that you have other things on your mind and that they are one of about 50 people you need to tell.

Greenslw: You need to wash becasue sometimes for transport and storage reasons clothing can be treated with chemicals. Ever smelt that funny smell on a new piece of clothing? I think it's extra important becasue babies' skin is so sensitive. That and the fact that you don't know who or what has come into contact with those items along the way and IMHO some people's personal hygene practices are not as good as our own! I'm washing everything on a quick cycle with just a touch of napisan for sanitation. And make sure you dry it in the sun for added antibacterial properties!

Sorry for the slacko personals, will fix up later. Absolutely satuffed! Went to see my idols Fleetwood Mac at the vineyards last night! Took us 2hrs to get out of the grounds and another hour-ish to get home! Finally fell into bed about 2am! So worth it though, they were totally AWESOME!!!
