[Eblinx]

Now that just makes me realise how unprepared i am!
I have all the big bits..i really should start buying more little bits!

 

[foxymum]

OMG now i am panicking coz i have most of this stuff left to get

got pram, moses basket & all the feeding equipment, but havn't got many clothes yet, or even a pack of nappies!!!

i keep saying to dh 'if i have this baby early on the bathroom floor, i havn't even got a nappy to put on its bot!!!'

baby shopping soon i hope!!

I'd really recommend gro bags rather than blankets. My friend says that her baby knows its bedtime when he is in his as well as them helping against cotdeath
