ooh a hooded towel sounds exciting :-D

Porsche - I wish my SIL would make her next booking at the clinic, I just joke with her that she should, she still very clucky, even after having her bubs in January. I have been thinking of checking out Child Care - there's a centre about two minutes walk from my place. It's just an option if take up studying or whatever happens.

I went to the Mother's group, it wasn't very nice, but I just stayed quiet. There were a few off comments made, sorry that we keep talking about breastfeeding when you're no longer breastfeeding, gee it would be hard to be a single mother, and then I was talking about how I had Jim but I don't know another woman was talking about her labour - it's a bit hard to explain I felt really put off.

However I somehow ended up becoming the organiser for the first meeting as the majority suggested we meet at each others homes, but I said I'm not sure about public transport..and I got the feeling another Mum didn't want to meet at her home either. So we're meeting at the local shopping centre next week.

Also my ex took Jim for a visit, to his parents, it is so frustrating it went well. He bought a box of disposables over and a tin of formula (hasn't contributed much but this is something)...BUT he had Jim for seven hours and didn't change his nappy :-O very frustrating. I know he has OCD issues but I just wish he would get someone else to change him or bring him back earlier.

Sorry I just remember I have forgotten to add the good things that have been happening. Jim loves my neighbour downstairs, I think as we had chats when I was pregnant, he recognised her voice. Did I mention the other neighbour had an afternoon tea for us last Wednesday which was lovely? It was lovely of her to organise that.

I have been getting Jim toys, I got him a fisher price cement mixer, it has a rattle in it, I also set up a toy line from two door frames above the change table, I suppose I could use it as a small washing line as well. I have been buying new toys - for some reason it is hard to find baby toys second hand (lots of board books though), anyway I found a good website - Yogee. I also bought a toy bar that clips onto your stroller, rocker etc, that BBB has as well. The best part is it came with this super duper squeaker toy.
