Mabel – Have heard they start sleeping on the floor first 
and then eventually end up in the big boy bed. That’s next for us.
This weekend … it’s … (cue “Psycho” shower scene music) … Potty Training! 
Bella – Still lying on my back for sleeping. Dr. says even 8.5-mos-pg women sometimes roll onto backs in their sleep, can't be helped - but it’s not harmful.
Manda – Sorry to hear. Hope you find a good position. H sounds like quite a child. Trust me, you & baby are better off without him … my friend I was mentioning, who is currently in US divorce courts, has joint custody of baby with ex. Ex will invite friends over to drink while baby is in his care. There’s also a chance he could just out and kidnap the baby anytime (we wouldn’t be surprised at anything he’d do), so again, you are much better off having your ex OUT of the picture. Not saying he'd be as bad, but this way you'd call all the shots. Disposing of his last name is good advice from your solicitor.
\link{http://www.baby-bib.com/bibs-bumkins-super-bibs.html\These} are my favorite bibs. Not sure if they’re available in UK, but this link will ship to the UK. You can just rinse them right out in the sink; no need to put in wash, no staining. Very convenient. It’s all we’re going to use this time (after baby’s a few months old).
Can’t buy much of anything new … DS’s leftovers all we’ll need (poor 2nd child 
).
What do you all think of the names “James” and “Jameson”?
Thought “James” might be perfect, except maybe too common a name (& I dislike the nickname “Jim”).
Does “Jameson” sound too stuffy, too formal?
