Bindy - I LOVE my Strider! I call it my all-terrain 4WD pram. We go through gardens with it and over gravel and bark and Fraser seems to love it. I find it sooo easy to manouvre too although sometimes I find it a bit wide to easily fit through some things. As for co-sleeping, I'm not against it per se but it isnt a track I want to go down. My sister and I were NEVER allowed in Mum and Dads bed even if we were having nightmares or were sick and Mum said she laid down that rule right from the day we got home from hospital. She said that there are just some places where Mummy and Daddy need to be alone (not for dirty reasons, just a time out place). Tony likes the idea of having kids in the bed so I guess it is something we will need to discuss and shortly. Fraser hasnt been in our bed yet though. I've gotta say that I also loved having food bought to me in hospital and no housework and no ringing phones and no needing to pay bills. It was nice to just concentrate on the bubs for a few days without all the other distractions of everyday life.
Jo - I lodged my baby bonus on 2 January and I still dont have it! The problem is I wasnt born in Australia. I was born in NZ and I was only 8 months old when I moved here permanently so I had to go into a Medicare office (with a 4 weeks old baby) and show them my passport which was only done last Saturday so I'm hoping it wont be too far away.
Well, my little boy is still sleeping soundly (it has been 3 hours now) so he must really be spoiling me again today. He slept well yesterday so I thought I was going to be in for a terrible night, but no!
