Thanks Dory, I'm so excited. You are so right, David is just an added bonus of going back and not the main reason. I look at friends photos on facebook and it makes me feel a bit homesick for the place. I never thought I would fall in love with Africa before I went there, but I did. So anyway its all turning out more expensive than I budgeted for (just paid $190 for a two week tourist visa today, wasn't expecting that!) so I'm trying to pull in my spending even further than I already do. Oh well, lucky I like toast!

I had to pay 10% of the fare for Isaac, about $230 just to hold him. He doesn't get a seat, but with any luck they will give me a bulkhead seat with extra room and maybe one of those bassinets he can sleep in to give my arms a rest. On domestic flights he can fly for free, if I hold him, until he is two which is great. We are having a stop over in Dubai each way so that will break the trip up a bit, should be good, I've never been there (or anywhere in the Middle East for that matter) before so looking forward to it.

MCN's, I use mainly Baby Beehinds. I got a pack with all the different types in it, and then bought some extra Magic-Alls with velcro because I love them. This is going to sound very strange, but I got a great deal on some large ones, but they are hot pink! Who said boys don't look good in pink! I use the minky magic alls with extra boosters as night time nappies, they soak up a lot, and stay nice and dry. I also like the hemp nappies, they stay dry too. I also have some Bum Cheeks, they are ok now that Isaac is fitting into them properly. I also use good old terry flats every day, with a bamboo fleece booster and a BBH cover. They dry so quickly, and are super cheap. Haha that's so funny about your DH, but when you have another baby I bet he won't bat an eyelid about using Hannahs old nappies on the new baby! I feel a bit bad that Isaac will be in disposables for a whole month, after using MCNs they just feel so flimsy, plasticky, just not nice. It was so great to put the good nappies back on him after our last trip! Much more comfy for him. Maybe I'll let him have lots of no nappy time to make up for it.
Hope you had fun gardening

(PS I'l reply to your PM hopefully tomorrow, I have a feeling Isaac is going to wake up very soon so I'll be going to bed as soon as he does )

Wite, sorry to hear Harlow has been clingy, but good to hear she has reached another milestone They are growing so quickly, we don't have little babies anymore..
