Very True – the most exhausting project ever! I used to repeat to myself the mantra of “It WILL get easier” and it does – my girl is 4 now. Somethings are easier, some are harder but all of it is a complete joy. Never did change my mind on having just the one though!

@Joanne: After the vacation, as I said. It’s not that I want to pay her back or something like that. But I keep thinking of other women who might come across her. And who might not have the great support I had…

@Iota: Thanks, I would be pretty depressed if the changes would continue to come down on me at the same pace, hehe…

You’ve done the hardest part. Sure, there are challenges in every stage, but you never have that initial shocking life-change again. From here on, the changes are pretty gradual.

Leave the midwife worries – enjoy your time, you can deal with that later when you have more energy.
It’s more exhausting the first time because we’re just not used to it. Second and more, it actually becomes easier.

@Lulu: It all seemed so easy from the outside. And now I’m eating my words…

@Sandy: Honestly, I think you should. But then I know how little time you have to yourself anyway, and with two little ones running around there must be even less spare time.

@Tim: Napping should be an olympic sport. I’d be the first to take part. And win, of course

@Rachel: I knoooow, I am always torn between thinking time flies too fast and time doesn’t pass quick enough.
(And yes, I have seen it. And I am ridiculously proud, hehe. Congrats to you as well!)

@Expat Mum: With the difference that they wouldn’t give you a newborn to look after and deprive you of sleep after open heart surgery.
Staying up late? You’ve got to be joking, sobb, sobb.

I remember reading an article years ago that compared giving birth to having open heart surgery in terms of what it does to your body and how long it takes to recover. I know many women go shopping the next day etc. etc, but it’s not surprising that most of us are completely knackered – for a very long time. (And then they start staying up later than you and you never get to sleep.)

Three months already?! Wow! It seems so slow at the time and sooo exhausting but the time flies by really, doesn’t it? In a few short months you’ll have your energy back, little L will be into a new phase and new-motherhood will be a distant memory. You’re doing great )

Even those who haven’t given birth (like me) feel knackered looking after small people all the time. Just off for a nap…

Hmm, I still haven’t complained about my awful midwife. Probably won’t now, 22 months on and after a lovely birth second time around.
Happy 3 month birthday Little L x
