Joy, hope ur not working too hard. Exciting, 6.5wks to go.

Ali, hope ur all better quick smart. Yikes on Emma bein in hossie, hope she's feeding better now.

Wow only 5wks to go NIckers, bet u cant wait. It does get harder in the last tri, being so tired. Still unsure on whether to get allergy testing. Noticed when I gave her cheese the other day that it flared up again. So haven't given her any cheese or yoghurt for about 4 days (shame coz she luvs em) & it nearly disappeared, then yest arvo gave her one of those yoghurt covered muesli bars & more spots came out & bit more reddish. I have been applying baby sorbelene on/off the whole time & sometimes her prescribed Elidel cream too but dont want to use it too often.

Amanda congrats on a pigeon pair, im sure ull be fine with figuring out what to do with a boy. Most of our mums group have boys & most of em said they wouldnt know what to do with a girl, hehehe. The only tip i know of is make sure his willy is pointing down when putting a nappy on else will end up with wet clothes frequently, came from a friend, hehehehe.
We've been thinking bout getting a bigger car, had a look at 2nd hand imported Toyota HiAce SuperCustom vans as they have sooooo much room. Aussie HiAce vans are only work vans (hubby has one) not ppl movers, the ppl mover version is called a Tarago but theyre more expensive, diff layout & not as roomy. I was impressed & very tempted, not sure yet though. Personally we would never buy Kia, Daiwoo, etc, as DH is a mech & says poor quality (made in korea), but some ppl luv em, no offence to those who do. U know the latest Holden Captiva is actually made by Daiwoo. Many cars made by diff manufacturers & purchased by another manufacturer & they put theyre own badge on it & sell it as their own (eg: Holden Nova made by Toyota, its same as a Toyota Seca).
As for double prams, I went with a BabyLove Tandem Lite (orbital) tandem pram as far more stable ive heard than the 3 wheelers with toddler seat & no doorway/aisle trouble or toddler hitting/poking baby trouble like the side by side ones, heres my post explaining my reasons/research: Tandem Prams, which do you recommend?. I luv it too so easy to steer & reasonably light weight (12.9kg) & folds up very compact, more compact than many std prams. Got it at Target on a 20% off sale. Ended up paying $266 - $10 voucher from baby bag & RRP is $360. They r selling for $180+ 2nd hand on ebay so good resale value.
We've been contemplating on a 3rd child but not sure as we'd only really want to if get a boy, who knows.
