thats mine but i think i may be goin a bit OTT

i still have some stuff to pack ... but im not packing the baby stuff untill last minute coz i wanna wash all the baby clothes so they are nice and fresh

i wanted the massaging oil thingy as well... but im not sure which oils to get and where from ... anyone know ??

What's a bobble??

Sounds fun to say over and over..

to tie your hair back with lol

its a hairband

Lol!! A hairband!

Trisha, i dont think your going over the top at all.
the hospital im going to give you 2 little bowls to use for top and tailing.

i was gonna try and pack all my stuff in 1 bag (a little suitcase thingy) coz i dont know if the hospital will be happy with me taking loads in with use.

im taking babys stuff in the changing bag but its not big enough for everything, the nappys,wipes and cotton wool will need to go in a seperate bag.
