Thanks for the info Amy on the pram (useful info about the P&T just fitting in the Corolla) and sleeping situation. We don't have a portacot so still undecided about what to do I am now thinking maybe can fit the cot into our room, and put CJ into big bed a few months before this one arrives - that way don't have to decide on anything apart from what to sleep CJ in. My mum is going to come over for about 7-8 weeks over period new one is due, and she will have to share with CJ - will be good having her around for CJ but a two bed flat is not great for visitors - if my dad pops over to say hi to the new bub too will be very cramped! Oh CJ is very good at getting up early on days I don't work, and laying in when I need her up too (DH thinks should lie to her about what is happening the next day and see what happens).

J - thanks also for Strider Plus suggestion - I need to go somewhere and check these and the P&T's too.

Krystie - Great news about Shayla getting the all clear

With CJ I didn't buy till she was 10 weeks or so old, so did little pram research last time as I knew just wanted lightest possible and had heard good things about the Maclarens.

BG and Naomi - I hope the next few weeks do not drain you guys too much.

Hi to everyone else - and thinking of you Nicky with all the flood dramas.
