Oooh thanks for the heads-up on drawers from Bunnings, Dana - we're going looking at drawers today for baby and new ones for Ella (timing!!).
About the bathing, we have my old baby bath (no plug, no nothing) and must have only used it 3 times with Ella, just in the kitchen. It turned out we found it much easier for her to have a shower with DH every evening (if you get them used to it when they're little, they love their showers!), and as I felt too clumsy bathing her in the big bath when she was little, when I had to bath her I ended up hopping in with her a lot of the time. Personally, we've found the shower really easy, but then I haven't tried the convenience of one of the pimped-out baby baths so it's hard to compare.
