you're dead right Tara, you ARE being too hard on yourself!!

i think you are a dead set LEGEND honey! just for you to be "with it" enough to be using the computer and posting on here with a newborn + baby - you are AMAZING!

i didn't know what day it was for MONTHS!!! so listen to bossy me, you are doing GREAT!!

four hours sleeps sound WONDERFUL! Go Chino!

I have just spent most of the last three days at the hospy where my bestie had her bub on Fri morning - so am majorily clucky again! Got to have loads of cuddles with the most gorgy black and wavy haired, blue eyed bundle of gorgeousness. Downy hair on his skin, wonderful wrinkly skin, long sharp fingernails, those cute balinese dancer hands. I got to change a baby boy for the first time - gee so much easier than changing a girl! never thought it would be. This lovely little bub fits in one of my arms, elbow to wrist, he's 3.7kg of loveliness - awwwww!

bilby has been missing me heaps and has gotten a bit ill in the last day and a bit, so been giving her lots of TLC today, plus dh is not home to mind her (weekend is over), then bring her into the hospy for me to feed (like we were doing sat and sun).

it felt weird going into the post labour ward of the same hospy, where i was 20 months ago - after the dreadful time i had there, i was proud of myself for coping with being back in that same environment - albeit as a visitor.

It's interesting what some of you said, the difference between having a
- newborn and a toddler
as opposed to
- newborn and a baby
I had never looked at it that way before.

CHristy - best of luck with the packing!

I hope the next 2 weeks go fast for you Kim! watched pot n all that!!!
