oh great, good news studentmum. and the shopping sounded good as well I spent some time looking at those fascniator things - feathery confections for your head for a wedding next week, but i look like Big Bird in them so will have to go bareheaded...
Piekin, my skin has changed, but like last time its patches of dry skin, rather than outbreaks. think that means i need to start fish oil supplements, which helped.
had to buy another new pram yesterday. i think i must be very heavy handed, the rate i get through them. this is our 3rd, with ds only 2.1yrs old. Mind you, we don't keep a car, and we do walk several miles a day over endlessly broken city pavements. and our first still has some wear in it, but is only really good for prone little baby - its the micralite and ds rebelled against the sling seat with no support. our second was a quinny zap which he was comfy in, but it truly has worn out. the handles keep falling off and the brakes often disengage when buses brake or turn so i have to lurk clinging onto it for dear life, rather than sitting down. can't face that once i get bigger!
finally got a maclaren xt techno like everyone else round here. they work best on the buses i'm told. think we're getting lent a phil and teds for a while next year, so hoping to mix and match prams, slings, double buggy and maybe get a buggy board as well. oh i dunno. it still all seems academic until the 12 week scan!
