Hi all, I guess I should pop my head in hereas I am into my second week back at work. Please tell me it gets easier.
WWYD, days into your return to work and your baby has an urgent paed appointment? Miss G is teething and has horrific, peeling spreading eczema and nasty nappy rash as a result. She is mostly happy but it needs to be dealt with ASAP. Go to work as per usual and meet DH with her for appointment (I work in the same building as paed) or take the day off even though I've only just started back? If she was miserable, there would be no question on what to do but I feel so guilty even contemplating going to work when her rash is so bad.

I would go to work - and if necessary duck out for the appointment, or just let your DH handle it. When I was full-time and DH part-time had to get used to him just taking care of things - it is hard at first but it is also good for DH and kids to do all sorts of things together. Remember that your DD is not thinking "I have nappy rash and mum has deserted me" that is an adult take on things. I tend to only take days off when absolutely necessary because you never know when something will come up that is a necessity and don't want to be feeling like 'wasted' days off when didn't need to IYKWIM. I hope her rash gets sorted.

Not good - he has had a temp all day - and his eyes just look funny (nothing wrong with them but you know how they get when kids are ill - you can always see they are ill in their eyes) - he has requested BF on and off all day - have fed him several times but I hope I don't suffer for that tomorrow by it increasing my supply. He has been a bit off his food too. He will be in good hands with mum and is just a bad cold I think - just bad timing! He won't go to daycare tomorrow, and doesn't go on a Tuesday anyway maybe by Wednesday he will be over it - better in time for his real birthday.
We had a birthday cake and candles but he was just so overwhelmed and tired that when we sang happy birthday he burst into tears - poor thing. Maybe we will have another fake birthday on Friday to make up for it.

Hope he's better ASAP, hun.
I'm planning on going back to work tomorrow. A bit nervous about it, still not feeling great, but can't put it off forever. Wish me luck!

Hi ladies
I've just come across this thread and was hoping to join in. I started working again a few months ago working part time but have now come back fulltime this week. My daughter does 2 days with the grandparents 2 days at creche and I work from home 1 day. Just wondering how you ladies go about planning your days. At the moment I get up about 5.30 to have a shower breakfast etc then I wake up my daughter and get her ready for her day. My husband does shiftwork so I cant count on him all the time. By 9 o'clock at night I'm exhausted.
Happy for any tips that might help

DH and I are considering using our Christmas prezzie money to hire some of the beautiful people from the melbourne asylum seeker resource centre's cleaning team to do every nook and cranny of the house ...
Can't afford to do it generally, but maybe, maybe for Christmas!

Now at airport, he was ok overnight and climbed in with mum at about 5:00 apparently. They have quite a different bond to mum and DD - I expect because she has had to play substitute mum with him - is nice, and I can see mum loves it. Had to say bye to dad this morning before got in cab he is off back to UK today should see him back here Nov time fingers crossed -but that and DS being unwell left me feeling quite teary in taxi - bad time of the month to be travelling. Is cool now at am airport though I am in work 'zone' now.
Hope your day back at work goes ok PN
