Sas- IKWYM re: DH making childcare related decisions alone. This morning, I was asked what to dress DS in, and for the first time he put him in a sensible combination of clothes! (For example, he was not wearing 2 vests! LOL!) Hope your meeting goes well at work.
Sami - Hope that the childcare intro is going well. Have you left bub yet? I found the first time I went and chatted to the carers was really hard, but the fact that he was OK made it a bit better. Good luck!
PP - Hope you are OK too and that childcare arrangements are starting to look less worrying.
AFM - Heard news yesterday that I might not be able to start on Mon afterall. Something to do with the millions of forms that I have had to fill in before starting. Whether I have formally gone back or not, I will still pop in through the week to show my face, even though I wont get paid for it. I just want to get it all over and done with and get into a routine ASAP.
Well ladies, I survived! My first week of work is now over and I am looking forward to spending tomorrow with my baby on my day off.
Although the week has been OK, my feet haven't really touched the ground. It went a bit like this: 6.30am - DS wakes up and has a breast feed in bed with us in the hope that he will go back to sleep and we will get a few exta minutes (which does not happen) 7.00am - I get up and get DS changed and dressed and ready for the day,then he plays while I get ready. I put washing in machine on timer. DS has been sick on clothes, or has dirty nappy, so have to get him changed and dressed again. 7.45am - DS and I play together for a bit 8.00am - we leave for nursery and arrive at 8.15. All the staff seem to love him there. I havent worked out whether they say that about all the babies. 8.30am -I arrive at work and talk about/think about /look at picture of DS on my desk whilst i should be doing other things 5.00pm- I leave work and really look forward to doing the nursery pick-up and finding DS eager to see me, only to find him asleep when I get there 5.30-7.00pm - play / feed /bath / story /bed for DS 7.00pm-9.00pm -Cook dinner /eat dinner /wash up / wash bottles and get formula ready for next day/ get washing out of machine /ironing /generally tidy up 9.00pm -Sit down with DH and wonder where all the time went! 10.00pm- Collapse into bed!
Dont think that I can keep up this pace for long, but I hope it will get easier with time.
Bye for now!
