Congrats BD! And yes sounds like the second one would be much nicer.

Welcome AlligatorsMum, yes sounds like life is going to get busy. I'm sure your DS will cope with the bottle. He's used it a bit and once he works out that's the only option at childcare he'll probably be fine. Good luck with it all!

Thanks OP. Well I'm currently working 18 hours a week for the paid job but I do it from home and the timing is flexible so I do 3 hours after DS has gone to bed most nights of the week. Then I'm working on my thesis during the day 5-6 days a week either while DS is at childcare (school holidays now) or with DH. So I guess working 6 full days a week. The paid job should stop a month or so before the baby comes and I'm hoping I can hand my thesis in to my supervisors before the baby arrives (my current plan is to hand it in a week before my due date so hopefully I can manage that and he's not early!)
