Hi Katie. I still use huggies ones. Over the years I have tried different brands, but I just prefer the huggies. I did buy a Pea Pod MCN the other day and it will be great for night times when he is weeing a bit more kwim? His nappy is very full in the mornings.

Hayley, I have BTDT with a hungry baby out in public. I need to do Alisters hands and feet too. I did the other three at 3mths old because their hands opened up better then and I got a better print than when they were younger.

Cally, glad you had a good time, even if you did have to leave early. These days if we are going out to friends for a BBQ or something, I always put the kids sleeping bags in so at least they can go to sleep if they get tired, but we had to leave early sometimes too if they were over tired.

Pregpan, it's hard to know when the time is *right* to have another baby until you get there kwim? We always had the plan of waiting until they were TT before we had another one, but I was clucky again by the time Lindsay was 6mths, but we waited another few months and I was 8wks pg by his first birthday. Same again with Erin, I was pg again by her first birthday and it worked so well for us. I hope you are having a great time in Melbourne.

Marydean, how are the 'girls' today? You have had such a terrible run with infections you poor chook.

We had DH's work christmas party last night and they put on a great night - there was nothing they didn't think of. They always have a family-orientated party too so we could take the kids. They had facepainting, 2 jumping castles (one for big kids and one for littlies), a ferris wheel and 2 merry-go-rounds. Plus they had fairy floss and snow cones for the kids and even the Santa gifts they got were great too. Ten for the adults they had a band playing in a different area near the bar, but it was all outdoors on a golf course so you could be in the bar area if you wanted and stil be close to the kids area kwim? Possibly a bit OTT and extravagant, but so many families were still there when we left at 9.30 so it was a real winner because people weren't leaving because their kids were bored and cranky.
