No need to worry so much about the steps. Just do what is logical and most importantly always make sure to have a secure grip on the baby. One time slip and the baby get a shock of going into the water, next time bathing will be very very difficult [laugh]

Haha, I am trying to get a grip on reality...

Practise makes perfect, and I think baby gave me a yelp score of -1 the first time, but I think now I'm up to about 2.5 haha..

No visits or visitations this year... safety first..

I visited a few places to get milk and actually, Amazon Prime isn't too bad... because they offer plenty of card related discounts and trust me, it's not hard to hit the amount...

Too late as in the test is positive? 

If you wish to get any insurance, usually they let you get it from the end of Term 1, but do it before you do any further tests so you remain eligible...

Thanks, I don't know why, but the back rest feels a tad flimsy and I have to lean a lot... to let baby rest on my chest 🙂
