teru - Thanks for the offer. Wow... you do sound busy! I dunno how you manage to juggle everything!

georgi - That is interesting.

Well.. I think I finally worked out something this afternoon. My feelings only really hit me this year. And I realised that Maya now feeds very quickly, whereas before feeds took ages! So before I was feeding for a very long time and then doing a little play. Now I am feeding for a very short time and have to fill in a longer amount of time in play. And for some reason I find it hard to fill in longer time with play cos I struggle to think of things to do. And also when I was feeding longer I could put my feet up and read or watch TV or jump on the puter. Now I have less time for myself cos there's more time I have to entertain Maya for. So I guess it's both having to think of what to do with her and having less time for myself. I think I just need to adjust to this new phase.

ohhh.. but my DH's work is making everyone take a 10% pay cut and in return giving them a day off a fortnight - starting in Feb. So I'll have him home an extra day a fortnight for a while. That'll be nice.
