Carolyn I think a few of us have to do the same thing, down with the previous (old) and up with the current (new).
I am so looking forward to the opening of mine and everyone elses too. So many dream babies this time round it seems, it is fantastic to see. To me, if we have to purchase a kit for the swap then why not purchase the dream baby if possible. Well that's how I saw it anyway.
I have my spare camera battery on charge so if the one in the camera goes flat I still have a charged battery on hand. My luck is bubs will arrive on one of the days while I am at elders group then I'll have to wait till my carer is home early enough to go pick it up for me since I am no longer driving due to my eyes and parcel too large to carry and walk.
