Thanks so much BumbleBea - I can't tell you how much your email cheered me up!!!

Hope things go well with your return in July - it sounds like the 3 day nanny/2 day dad split will work well. Some advice I received re: handover of childrearing work to husband was to start it ASAP - not just before you go back to work. That way you, DH and Tomas won't have such trouble adjusting when you do go back. Dunno if this will help but it sounds logical to me - I sure know I am going to try it O

thanks again \/
