fredaina, I'm sorry your waiting so long

as for the baby proofing, I've just done the general I've read about and for her that seems to be good enough.

have both working carbon dioxide and carbon monxide detectors. (2 of the monxide one for upstairs one for downstairs) theres the CD all over the house. a fire extinguisher for upstairs and down (I think they had to be the abc and 3 or 6 lbs can't remember) I know my 2 is bigger than what we had to have. one is in the pantry and the other is in my laundry room. I have the outlet covers up, all meds are locked up in a childproof cabinet, the knives are up high. the chemicals for cleaning are locked up. one ancient firearm dh had from grandpa is locked up in garage unaccessible. and we have baby gates for little ones for the staircase. the only other thing I plan on doing but wasn't asked about the last time the CM was here, was I'im going to post a list of emergancy #s (poison control, the hospital we'd go to, my neighbor friend, my inlaws and our #s. plus have dh come up w/a floor plan escape route in case of fire.

good luck! getting my house ready while completing the paperwork was the only thing that kept me sane.
