TTC #2 - wow. Can I ask if it's ok, but why so soon? I mean I want one more and everything is going as well as can be expected but the thought of toddlers and babies at the same time just does my head in. But I'm also kind of glad there are gals out there who are loving being a mummy so much they are prepared to go again so quick!

NUDE - can't do it! I'm beginning to wonder if I'll even be able to sleep without a bra again! Just find boobies bouncing around too uncomfortable! But putting out the washing nude?? hahaha - if you knew how our backyards all were! Maybe if I had the body for it?

KAREN - I worry about the baby choking on the little toys too, you know the barbie shoes, hairbands etc. What do you guys do about this kind of thing?

NICKERS-
Nixon has very similar behaviour to Ruby at the mo with the tummy sleeping and fussing. Usually the prob is that they roll over on their tummy and because they are tired they can't remember or don't have the energy to roll back! It got so bad one night, I remember popping ruby into her highchair (it's like a padded rocker thing) to sleep as i was tired of getting up and turning her over. Had to warn DH though so he didn't think I'd left her overnight there and forgotten her! Can't remember why I didn't just bring her to bed with us, might have been really hot or something.
Do you just puree the solids in a blender? Is that fine enough?

IK - that's so cool re. Oscar F&Feed! I also tried MTM feeding too, Ruby looked at me very surprised!! and You might not like Babylove! Anyway she's totally wrong re. teething, formula and colic. But otherwise she's aussie, and pretty good. Lots of good info.

CC- hey there! good to see you again. Yep, the thread is full of the ladies chitchatting (and they are all going to get to see each other anyway! so jealous!) - you've got to learn to speed read and skim if you are a once a dayer like me!!

LMG - You went out to Dinner?? SO jealous - how was it?

Compact
I'm quite serious about trying to start/thinkabout the compact nobuy policy thing. I almost get anxiety attacks about the amount of clutter and stuff we have. I loved when I was pregnant that I had like 5 things to wear. I like that simplicity.
I think each person has to decide for themselves what their definition of "nobuy" is, cause I'm not 100% sure I can give up chocolate as a non-essential...or alcohol...or coffee. Mostly I just need to not buy clothes. Anyway, I'll have a think about how we might be able to do this. Sounds like you've got it going a bit anyway with the staplers and Moogoo!
