M+H+B - HI! Yep, i think the DP's, DF's and DH's are copping it a bit at the moment!! Surely its not just yours and mine??!! Mine has been so helpful when home but obviously things have to change now he is back at work, so its just an adjustment period i guess. I had been trying hard and succeeding in first few weeks in not telling him he was doing things wrong with bubs, but last two days the way he does things with her is bugging me - i guess my confidence with her has surged forward as i am with her all day and he has lost a bit of confidence not being around her so much, i just have to try and be more patient...... and yep, i know i am so lucky that stephi sleeps well at night so far, fingers crossed it continues....not sure how i would cope if she wasn't that way, maybe i was sent one that the universe knew i could cope with....

V.exciting re wedding plans - hope it all goes well!!! Had to laugh re your bubbas 3 chins!! Stephi is getting real chubby cheeks (bringing back slightly horrid memories of being called "chubby checkers" at primary school () - hope they disappear b4 she gets to school, but for the moment are v.cute!!!!

Brooke- and i have to say again - gorgeous bub!!!! Glad it went well with hubs mates - lucky you get on well with them. Makes all the diff. when they are good with/excited about bubs. I find myself getting a bit offended if people dont gush!!! Definitely feel warmer towards those who do!!!! LOL about oscar ebehaving at nans - people keep saying what a little angel stephi is (as they all look when fast asleep) and really she is great but i still find myself saying "come to my place at 4am when she is hungry and angry she has to get her nappy changed first"!!! She has a great scream on her when she tries, DH enjoyed telling all his mates she got given BOG (best on ground) in the nursery overnight in hossie for biggest screamer!!!!!

AFM - first trip to supermarket today went off ok, went straight after a feed and she slept the whole timeyay for stephi!! Was not impressed with baby capsule trolleys which were old and horrible and i hated putting her in it, not mad on using those again - anyone else got tips how they manage supermarket?? Mostly aiming to do it on weekends when one of us can babysit and the other go and just quick trips for a couple of items during week - but when you do go how do you handle it???? I havent got a baby bjorn or similar, sling, anyone got these and can tell me how useful they are finding them? Are they any good for s.market shopping???
