UK moms I need a translation!

What is considered a "cot"? Traveling and hotel offered one but I am slightly confused because in the us a cot would be just a fold up twin bed...

    I have one in November and I'm not ready I don't think. It's la so far from NYC
    I have another one in Novemeber in Chicago. DH and I work together starting this month, so we will both have to go to that one to work, so I will have to leave her I think. Already freaking out about this.... I work from home, so I am rarely away from her (even though we have a nanny). I am hoping it gets easier.

    @twaffle5 Is that train loaded with Belgium chocolate?? Cause if so I am in.

    Unfortunately I am working everyday I am there, but DH will have LO mostly by himself. Should be interesting. He mentioned the Ergo and Pub Crawl in the same sentence... should I be worried?

    Also, LO just woke up from a nap and winked at me, then went right back to sleep....she is such a flirt, we are in so much trouble.
    Absolutely not! That's how it's done over here! I have actually been to a pub in the uk where thy have a playroom in the back of the pub, so parents can put the kids there and drink.
    Please don't tell MH that, he will take full advantage all 7 days.

    @jtizzay that is such a great perspective! I am trying really hard to be super mom and take over a company. Its not easy, and I just signed up for a mentor program in my industry with other women, so I am hoping they are able to give me some confidence that can help strike a balance. I sense you might struggle with some of this too?

    @jtizzay well I am in the same boat. If I come across any great tips I will pass along, but until then please know that you are getting internet hugs from a mom in the same boat. I am glad you found a nanny that you like, ours is amazing and I am just so mad that we are moving and I have to find a new one!

    When you're there pick up some muslin squares from mothercare. They are amazing. I have a pack of 12 and wish I got more. M loves them. They are the perfect size. Not as big as the blankets but way bigger than wash/burp clothes.
