Hi all

Typed up a huge post earlier and then the Internet dropped out. So will try to remember what I did before and add to.

Cath - thanks for defining MCNs. I have been all through BB trying to workout what it stood for (knew they were cloth nappies).
I am a disposable nappy girl. The cloth nappies seem like too much hard work. We use Huggies and only have problems with them due to operator error - us not pointing his winky down and getting leakage. The MCNs that I have seen do look cute.

Rebecca - know what you mean about childcare and public holidays. But put it this way, most people get paid even tho they don't work public holidays, so why shouldn't childcare workers. The centre has to cover the cost some way to pay their workers, so if they didn't charge you this way, it would be higher fees on the other days.

Kim - I'll PM you.

We don't have a lot of practical support available either. Even tho friends have offered to babysit, I don't feel that I can ask them to babysit when L is so young and needy.

Managed to get to the supermarket this afternoon. L isn't sleeping a lot during the day atm, so by the time he woke up from his lunchtime nap it was close to 3 and the shops shut at 5pm. Got most things done, just not the Santa photo. Did buy a baby's first Xmas decoration for the tree and an infant santa hat.

L slept in his own room last night. We have a better a/c unit in there and can better control the temp. I think he was a lot more settled, not that I could hear all the little grunts etc. I slept better too. Think we will keep him in there from now on.

L is 6 weeks today. Where has the time gone???
Thats about it.
