Tan - yay for your car being ready this week. I'd be lost without mine - just knowing you can go anywhere, even if you don't want to IYKWIM. I've got the opposite sleeping that you have (yay for a huge improvement on your Iz's sleeping) - my Iz is fantastic through the night - goes down about 8pm and doesn't wake until between 7-9am (sorry girls ), but her day sleeps are no more than 40 minutes at a time, and she's only having 2 of them - makes it hard to get anything done during the day (like work!!) but at least I get a good night's sleep.

Not sure where the pool float came from - it was a Christmas present from my folks, but will find out. If needs be, I'm happy to get one over here and post it to you. The pic is from Mum's pool and its in a big covered enclosure so its blo*dy freezing in there - even on a 46 degree day. We put Iz in the float and dragged her round a bit to get warm, and then she seemed happy enough to just bob around for about 10 minutes before she got a bit cool.

MS had disappeared but has come back with a vengeance unfortunately, but at least its better than with Iz as its only when something smells or looks bad. Back to calling DH whenever Iz has a pooey nappy so it can't be too bad to have morning sickness!! I guess I'm a bit more accepting of the idea of having a second baby now, but I still can't think of things except for Izzy's benefit - like which room is best for Iz, how long should I stay in hospital for Izzy's sake, how will I still get to Izzy's swimming classes? Hopefully it will change, or else this little bubby is going to be the most neglected child in the world

Kass - I think its a great idea to try to form a mother's group if there isn't one already. Have you called the local council or hospital to ask if there is anything?
