Thanks so much for the reply FC. I really appreciate your kind and wise words.

The funny thing is I LOVE being a mummy, but I have found it to be really challenging - in the same way that I found university or a new job is challenging because it is so, so new and I feel like I am muddling through a little bit. I just haven't heard anyone else talk about it in these terms...and I am sure not everyone breezes through the experience...

Thanks for giving me the space to air these thoughts...I love BB!
