Lulu - I know it feels daunting at the moment but it will all work out. You are giving Izzy the best gift of all, a beautiful sibling to play with! As for your new bubba, they will be blessed to have you as a mum. All the other stuff will get sorted out in time. I think that things are often meant to be and this is your path. I've often thought about the pros and cons of having kids close toegther or far apart. There are many major pluses and minuses for both. Let us know how you are going and try not to stress to much

Tan - sorry to hear they are both unwell. Its hard looking after a sick bubba and its awful seeing them upset. I hope they get better soon.

Julian was a lot of fun today. He babbled and laughed so much and entertained me for ages. I managed to cook a minestrone soup and do the bath/bed routine all without much stress. I love days like this but know you never know what tomorrow will bring!
