yup it was 8 great weeks. Livi was born 20th november and he went back to workjust after she turned 8 weeks. It was especially good because he had almost all of the school holidays off

I am blessed again to have my 'babymoon' in winter! so that means staying home, warm slippers & dressing gown, heater on... and going with the flow! i have no idea how dd is going to adjust to this new bub, so i will take it as it comes! im more worried about dd than i am about how i will adjust to our new situation!
i dont have any plans made at all.. im sure ill have visitors here n there.
Bek - what sort of meals are you freezing? This is something I could do in the next few weeks but never know what to freeze
I'm just going to play it by ear and try not to have any of the expectations I did last time. I'm hoping DH will take at least 2 weeks off work this time (usually goes back to work when I get home, by my request I should add) and my mum will be staying longer this time to help out too.
I am planning (when I'm over this flu!) to make a start on things in the nursery etc and try to mentally prepare for the fact that this is actually, really happening!

Willow:
We have a freezer full of meals. I have made and frozen 4 containers of spaghetti bolognaise sauce (minus the spaghetti), two meat lasagnes and 1 vegetarian lasagne, 1 tuna casserole, 1 beef stew, 1 pasta bake and some other leftover things that we've had from other meals as well as a big container of soup.
Hope this gives you some ideas![]()
Willow - I will cook up a couple of serves of spag bol sauce, sheppard's pie meat base, make some pizza bases (par cook them and freeze), some soup stock base, maybe a meatloaf. Other things that we normally don't eat but I'll stock up on is family meat pies, and a latina style pasta packet. I am planning on using my slower cooker too!!!! This week will be my "organising' week and trying to mentally and emotionally prepare for the arrival.![]()
Havent actually thought about it. Im hoping things will be easier this time round as DF returned to work the day i came home(24hours after birth) after #2.
All i know is i want to stay at home as much as possible, have very few visitors while im trying to adjust to having 3kids.
