If you get an isofix base then its worth paying a bit extra to get the family base then you can use it on the toddler chair too. We have a travel cot that was given as a gift, but in the short term we will use our iCandy pram top as that can be used for overnight stays. Also check on your accomodation. They might provide something which will be much easier. Have you thought about an activity mat or a bouncer chair?

Hey guys, just wanted to say that since we are about to be new fruits it seemed a good time for a fresh thread. New fruit and new start. Hope you come over and find us on the thread called: The Honeydews are coming! - Iamblessed's weekly threads which is in the same area as this one. xx

Got a swing, bouncy chair and play gym already so thats all in hand. Cheers hun. I was looking at the family fix but its maxi cosi that we have and the bigger car seat and family fix base isnt compatible with my car so Id have to buy a new one when we upgrade car seat anyway. Bit of a pain as I would have preferred a family fix but wont work out any cheaper long term unfortunately.

Excellent!! A new start/thread is the way forward and will save me from having to start one! x
p.s Love the name. Im now singing the coca cola advert theme tune in my head!!

Sorry about that. It's my revenge on IAB for calling one week 'Hey Mangoes'. I was singing 'Hey Mambo' for ages after that one

IAB - I've sent you a PM. Let us know how you are feeling okay?

Sorry. This has annoyed me. Don't mean to start another fight but:
A section *is* major surgery... lol....
It involves cutting through 7 layers of freaking muscle and an organ. No, it isn't a heart transplant. But it's still classed as major surgery. Tell that to the scar I have that is still red 2 years after the incision was made Now it's *me* not meaning to be rude, but have you ever had a section? And if you have, and got lucky like me and recovered faster, that's good-- but it doesn't mean it isn't still a major surgical procedure.

NotNic: I will be 39 weeks on Liam's birthday. It was originally going to be 38 but it was moved forward a week as Eamon was only 5lb at birth at 38 weeks

ETA: I know a section is scary. I've had one. I've been in the exact position mrsmctobe is. I've had a breech delivered by section so I *do* know what I'm talking about. I understand how frightening the prospect is of surgery, especially when you didn't ask for it but it's necessary to keep you and your baby alive I have beaten myself up for the last 2 years for not being a 'proper' woman and giving birth naturally to my son. But you know what? If I tried to birth him vaginally chances are he would not be here and neither would I.
So I am thankful c-sections exist, as terrifying as the idea is-- when you've been there and done it and had one and know it was your only option.... you kinda don't feel so bad when you look at what the other outcome could've been.

Double ETA: Sorry boofs and Wobbles, I didn't see you there. I just saw the post about sections not being major surgery and couldn't help myself from correcting it. Will stop the discussion now

Ah Eamon was tiny! I bet he looked lost in his babygros. How's Liam's weight doing? Also I think most of us are posting on the other thread now. Hope to see you over there.

Will come on over, got a link hun?
PS: He was adorable! And Liam is measuring a little bigger than Eamon so I'm hoping that is a good thing!

Brilliant news that he's a little bit bigger. My friends son was 4lb 10oz when he was born at 36 weeks (He was fine just impatient! ) and it was like holding a tiny doll. Soo cute when they are that dinky!

Looking forward to seeing you over there. xx
