I thought I'd better come in and update my own thread!

We're are almost 4 weeks post baby now! The little bloke suprised us all and came 2 weeks early which meant that we had to do first day of school etc at 11 day postpartum. DP was still looking for a new job at the time so having him around has taken a lot of stress off me.

I've noticed that my cheeky little women take advantage of feeding time and will deliberately not listen to me etc as they know I can't get up easily to make them do as they are told.

DD2 has been a little bit of a struggle and has been acting out etc since DS's arrival. It worries me as I don't want her to get "middle child syndrome". Its only early days yet so I'm hoping she's adjust in time.

I think its me who's having the biggest trouble adjusting - mentally!! I feel like I living a life in daze. Like I'm wandering around floating outside of my body, watching mysef from above. I feel like the world is leaving me behind. I look at our pets and think "Gosh its been ages since I've just sat down and talked to them".

I really dont remember feeling so detached with the girls. Maybe I'm expecting too much from myself too soon.
