hi please help me do you really need books snacks mp3 players masssage oil candles phone cards small change a small elephant and a magic elf

Ooh and cheap black big pants from Primark, a couple of sizes bigger than normal to hold a pad and post baby belly. So much more comfortable and 'normal' than paper pants, and black ones disguise any 'leakage'.

Oh and a nice blanket and hat for the baby! my dd has her brother's hat and a hospial towell round her in her photos.

I mean fine, but still I wish I'd had a nice blanket for her. Rubbish mother!
