Hi Leash,

Congrats on the job too btw. I work while my hubby stays home. I have also been finishing off final units in my degree so its been a busy year, but its working for us. Darren loves having the time with Sammy (4) and Ruby at home. Ruby is 10.5 months, so its been a huge adjustment for him to be able to care for a bubs so young, but hes been just fantastic at it! Ruby is breastfed and I Darren will often bring her to the office for a feed or i will call through and feed her in my outreach roles, though she really is doing fine without me!

I have found that Darren is able to have her in a better routine (ugh..hate that word!) that works for all of them. For me, when ive been home with the other kids, they would tend to feed a lot more and sleep alot less, as i was there kwim, but with Ruby, she has a consistent sleep routine when I am not there.

I actually for the most part feel pretty good. I am feeling like I need a holiday at the moment, but i have just finished uni exams, so i feel due! Goodluck with your new job..you guys will be great!

Jo
