Morning all!

Hi Jaz! great to see you hun. I can totally sympathise with you on being way too busy ATM. Although I do get on here, but it's at the expense of me not getting important housework done I hear you on not wanting another baby LOL. We DTD last night and I have been on the BCP for 3wks now, I still told him he had to put a condom on because I just don't want to risk it - in fact even after he has the snip I think I wont feel safe till we are old and grey and don't do it at all anymore.

Noni, that really sucks about the windscreen, especially at this time of year - like you need any more bills kwim? Asha certainly is one spoilt little girl. It will be great in another few months and she can start to play with it all properly. As for keeping her settled with all the family events, just make sure you try to keep her in her *routine* as much as you can, like if she normally has a sleep at noon, then try to make sure she has it. I'm sure the family will understand if you explain to them how important it is not to over stimulate her, as they will enjoy her more too if she is happy as opposed to overtired and cranky. Take her own bouncer/rocker with you as she will be familiar with the smell of it and will settle better knowing she is in a familiar place.

Hayley, you'll find that they are in the crawler size nappies for longer than any of the others. The girls were in them for about 6mths before finally moving up to the toddler size ones and they stayed in those ones until they were TT as the walker ones were too big.

Queenie, Miss S sounds like she is doing just fine. In no time at all you will be an old hand at this game too LOL. I agree 100% with Marydean too - just do what your heart tells you to do with her.

Alister has his first shower last night! DH was going to have his shower and I was just about to put Alister in the tub anyway so I said he may as well have a shower too. It was hilliarous to watch his face when D first put him under - I have never seen his eyes go so wide LOL, he was totally surprised, then he dropped the bottom lip, but he didn't cry. At one stage when DH had the water just running over the back of his head and on his back, his eyes rolled back into his head, like a "ooooohhhh this is nice' sort of response. It was really hard to hold him though as he kept kicking his legs about so he wasn't in for long.
