Amazingly, it all went pretty smoothly - Bub[1] apparently likes being driven around and slept for most of the driving time, and also likes being pushed around in the pram. We also found a carrier that seemed to work - they let us wander around the place with it for about 30 minutes, and he slept almost all of that time. We did try a different carrier as well, but it didn't seem as easy to get into, nor as comfortable for Bub.
Also found the mirror and present, and got home just in time for the next round of feeding to begin.
Meanwhile,
Broadly speaking, things are generally going ok, we do get breaks of 3-4 hours while Bub sleeps in between feeding sessions (I think we've moved on to cluster feeding, so the session itself takes an hour or two to complete). Have managed to finish a couple more small fixit jobs around the house too, hopefully I can cross most of them off the list while I'm on leave (two more weeks).
