    That school sounds amazing! Do they have open days when you can take your son and see how he interacts in the class? They do that for most of the schools near me and it seems a good way to get an idea of how he would cope.

  • My little boy arrived ten days ago and he is adorable! He wont sleep in his moses basket though – he only wants to sleep on me. Any tips on how to get him to settle in his own crib? Dont mind the cuddles now but worried that he will be six and still sleeping with me!

    • I wouldn’t worry too much at this age. You can’t spoil him right now!
      I’d say let him sleep whereever he will sleep. If that’s in a swing, or in your arms, or in the carseat – go with it. Whatever works for you and yours will be the right thing to do.

    Hey me too! Currently in London :)

  • Hey all, am about to become a mum for the first time! Am 4 days overdue so going crazy at the moment with everyone asking me when the baby is due to arrive! If I knew that I would be more relaxed! Any tips for getting the small one to come out into the world? I want to meet him!

    • Since you’ve only got a little time to use this line left, allow me to share: when asked ”when are you due” by a stranger, look them dead in the eye and reply as seriously as possible:

      ”I’m not pregnant. This is a beer belly.”

      Having had a scheduled c-section, I don’t have any actually useful tips, sorry.

    • The only tip I have is to let go! Mother nature will decide how it all goes. Hang tough (as those great philosopher New Kids On The Block would say) and wait it out. You’re about to experience something that will blow you away. Keep us updated!

    • Oh, I’m also a Jez-fugee. :D

    • In my family, overdue pregnant women go for a ride down Girard Avenue, which is horendously potholed. Its worked every time. Find the crap road in your area and go for a spin. Good luck! Share new baby pictures!

    • I have no idea, but I hope he shows up soon! Only 11% of babies actually arrive on their due dates, so at least you’re in good company.
