Hmmm...yes the question of how much is too much?

Up until this week I have been working two jobs and running around like nothing has changed, but it has been really hard at times. For me, it has taken me some time to accept that my energy levels are a bit different now. I just didn't want to let anyone down - and we needed the cash.

There really isn't a right or wrong answer, but I really wish I'd spoken up sooner about cutting back at work - it seemed too hard for too long - but once I'd voiced it, everyone was really accommodating.

Remember that you may need space to rest not only physically, but emotionally. You need time to bond with your baby and come to terms with the changes in your life.

Good luck with it...
