Dee: yep, good luck at the paeds today... let us know how it goes! And hope this weekend with your DF's family goes smoothly

Karen: Thanks for the heads up on the free Expo tickets. Don't worry about Nathan not taking a dummy... it can be a good thing too... Niall doesn't want a bar of them either, he's just sucking his fist and I'm kinda relieved because this will be our first child who won't need to be weaned off it, plus the $ savings... but I also mjust admit they can be handy... oh well: unchartered territory here being parents of a non-dummy using child... will be kinda... interesting!
