Baby's Day Out!

Perng Fey and I brought Der Nen out for the first time yesterday. We were excited, nervous, scared... anyone would have thought we were going to meet the Queen Mother, but no, we were only bringing a little baby out to Ikea. As we fully subscribe to Murphy's Law (whatever can happen WILL happen), our diaper bag weighed about 6kg. (so I carried the baby, PF carried the bag, hahaha...) Here's what we brought on our little adventure :

1. 3 spare diapers
2. Nappy cream
3. Changing mat
4. 1 pack of wet wipes
5. Spare outfit (1 bodysuit, mittens, bootees, hat)
6. 1 Muslin
7. 1 burp towel
8. 2 extra towels (in case the baby floods the floor with his pee???)
9. 1 cooler bag with 1 bottle of milk and 2 ice packs
10. 1 ziploc bag (dunno why? all my books recommend bringing some!)

All this for someone who only weighs 4kg and can't talk or hold in his pee. It took close to an hour to decide what to put in the diaper bag and of course we used NOTHING and lugged everything back home, fully intact!

I realise that PF and I will not be able to have a meal together, as in EAT AT THE SAME TIME, for a while now. Someone's got to hold the baby!
