Krystie - Definately take a pram. Although I left our 'proper' pram in Adelaide, I'd bought a layback umbrella stroller for $90 at Big W to take away as we had trips planned to QLD, Melb for our BB meet up and Perth, and you'll need something. Seaworld is quite big, and we spent a fair bit of time walking around from attraction to attraction and I was tired from pushing the pram, let alone lugging a baby about (and we seemed to have heaps of 'stuff'). At White Water World in the toddler and baby pool (WIggles Bay) there are a few hundred sun lounges around the pool, we could see our stuff clearly when in the pool, and its all covered with shadecloth which was great for the littlies. I thought White Water World had good parents facilities (a few parents rooms with couches and microwaves etc) but at Seaworld there was always a line up but there is a nice grassed/tree lined area towards the back where the waterslides are which I found handy for nappy changes, feeding The Polar Bears were a bit lazy the day we were there, but the Dolphin show is an absolute must - it was my favourite part!! Also, if you are trying to get the babies to sleep, walk through the aquarium part, its dark and the massive windows full of fish/sharks are mesmorising (and relaxing), Bailey was enthralled! I also bought this $10 fan/water sprayer from the Sesame Street shop as it was hot, so I could lightly spray Bailey to keep him cool, and it had this little fan on it - worth every penny for us! And so this ends "Naomi's guide to babies and theme parks" LOL. Good Luck at the sleep seminar - feel free to report back with any useful findings for us to steal LOL

BG - that sucks re the astigmatisms, so sorry to hear, its bloody tough finding out our babies have health issues, and as a parent wouldn't we like to do ANYTHING to avoid it. Hope the paed opthamologist is helpful come May. Sorry to hear about DH not truck driving also, understandable why your day went to Shiat - Hugs

Cathy - perhaps these clingwrap babies are starting to go through the 'stranger danger' faze? I know Bailey is wary of blokes now, he is still a chick magnet but gives blokes a definate once over and sticks by Mum. I just got DH to download Up the other day as have been hearing great things about it, I must watch it - perhaps that will be my relaxing Friday Night!! Nice Ticker!

Bella - Thrush sucks, and so annoying how easily it recur's - hope J gets some relief. Moving with a baby must be SUPER frustrating - so Qudos to you for managing it! Is Jemima comfortable in her new home? All settled in?

Nicole - sounds like yesterdays appt was good news? Hope the paed gives Aaron the all clear

Bailey woke at 5am this morning - I went to settle him before he woke up DH, and it took me just over an hour - was about to sneak back into bed with him when I realised DH had decided to watch some TV in our room before heading to work, which meant I had to sneak back to the nursery as Bailey was 90% asleep and I didn't want the TV to wake him. I was super annoyed as (TMI sorry but its kinda funny) as I thought it was take a few minutes to settle him I didn't bother putting any clothes on so an hour or so later I was freezing, tired, and mega-p*ssed off and laying naked on the nursery floor with Bailey (who was warm as toast in his sleeping bag and little blanket which was too little to cover me hahahahahahah, but didn't want to sneak off in case he woke up completely. Anyway got him back to sleep for an hour so I guess it was worth it!! PMSL at my own stupidness!!


Oh Man........A few minutes ago I managed to get Bailey into his around we go playstation (which is no mean feat as I have to zip him in from below, which is kinda hard when Sean isn't here to hold him while I zip him in if that makes sense), anyway, it seems that everytime I finally get him in there alone, he does a poo a few minutes later so I just have to get him out again - DOH!!


And back to the change table we go ........
