Thanks for the welcome Bindy and sazzafrazz much appreciated.

Bindy - I can't complain about the labour in all honesty, it was long, but it could have been a lot worse. I don't class labour as the most painful thing I've been through, so I'd happily do it again if we have another baby. Sounds like yours was full on, I have heard that being induced can make things more painful.

I have plans to get Claire into day care very shortly to get to work one day a week. I have a full time and a part time job, and the part time job is basically a "come in when you feel like it" job. So I want to get back in there. I'm returning to my full time job probably around October/November - I am not decided yet.

It must be the age thing as they are all waking up again through the night again. Claire woke twice again through the night. I feel like a walking zombie. The weather here is also horrid, so I haven't been out all day. Nevermind, I think we both needed a day at home.

sazzafrazz - I stopped wrapping Claire about the same time I moved her into a cot. No matter what or how she was wrapped, even by experts, she got her arms out and the whole thing just fell apart. I do put her in grobags though as she escapes from sheets/blankets too easily.

It's hang out nappy time, although I honestly think they'll end up in front of the heater this afternoon as there's not an ounce of sunlight outside, and it's just so cold and miserable out there.
