Just waiting ......

So 5 days left before the due date. (Arghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!)


Getting very real now, specially when my wife gets the odd stomach cramp.
I'm patiently waiting and not stressing at all ! (well.....) , my wife though is bored of sitting at home and just wants it to arrive.
Won't be long ! :)


Anyway I thought whilst I've got a bit of spare time I'd write about two useful things I have. Well they look useful, have to see in practice if they are.


Firstly I got a changing mat with sloped edges rather than straps. One from Mother Care that fits over the cot did the trick, although the colour choice is rather poor.  The mat sits on top of any decent cot/cot bed and has a strap to hold it securely. the slopes are also quite steep so a young baby is unlikely to roll off.


I've decided to start with this one as being quite high up I think it should make it easier when changing nappies. also if I find I have a little wriggler then I can always buy one with straps in the future.


The other thing I ordered were Eazy Feet. This is a small neoprene gadget that fits over the babies feet and allows you hold both feet up with one hand whilst you change the nappy. Think of them as material handcuffs for baby feet. They aren't available in shops, but the inventor still has some stock left. They are meant to be useful for two handed people also !


I'll let you know soon when I'm covered in baby poo if they are useful !


So everything is sorted now, we just have to relax and wait....
