I'm just sticking a box of the nappies in my boot so if I stay longer than 1st thought I have enuf. u can tell if they have weed by the weight of the nappy and how spongy it is. That's still the only way I can tell with my DD.

Re the macca's sundae, oh yes! there is a maccas just down the street from my hossy so I think I mite have 2 send DH out to get 1! Listeriosis is so rare that when there was an outbreak while I was pg with DD it made the news so I'm much more relaxed bout it this time bcoz of the media hype that came then.

Nappy rash creams - use pawpaw ointment! it's natural and works better than all the others i tried.

This time I am using supre singlets layered under normal tops, just lift the normal top and lower the singlet enuf to not show off my stretch marks but reveal enuf breast for feeding, also works well in shopping centres etc where there is nothing provided 4 comfort . have even answered the front door like this!

If any r doing this 2nd time round (think i'm the only 1 in here but tell me if i'm wrong) pack a pressie for the older child. just 1 2 remember 4 next time if this is ur 1st.

Pack ur own towel. all the hossy 1s r so small n usually a bit scratchy. I like my towel to fit around me properly and I'm on the small side so a beach towel or bath sheet should b a necessity 4 all of u.

Chuck rags are also important coz newborns throw up more than older bubs n u wont know how chucky the bub is till they are doing it. cloth nappies are gr8 4 this.

Pack an eyemask. bub's circadian rhythm will mean it sleeps @ daytime so take every chance while u r visitor free to sleep.

wow another long 1 from me! If I think of anything else ill add it later!
