L+L, you are buggered now, from here on in you either have to fight for your food, or sneak off to eat it!!
Loo, meant to say, fab weight gain, D is clearly a "spurt" style gainer! You must feel really happy you can relax knowing everything is working just fine!
Skadi, i think Roh would exist on a diet made purely of sausages, bananas and blueberries, kiddies love 'em!! I'm sure Keira will help you eat them up
Re. Career change. I've done it, sort of. In the last 3 years i've gone from earning £35k+bonus to just under £7k a year. I'll admit that getting used to having nearly £30k less in the bank a year was a bit traumatic to start with, but we've adjusted our lifestyle (for the better i have to say) and our spending to fit our income. I now just make sure we earn enough to cover our bills and mortgage, food and a few treats. We even manage to save a fair bit each month. I liked having a decent income, holidays, buying mostly whatever i wanted, within reason, but i am alot happier now!! I'm in the same field still, but very different job roles. I guess my priorities in life are just utterly different now! Sometimes i feel a bit bad that i can't buy Roh and F all the fancy toys and stuff alot of their friends have, and last night i had a little fantasy about getting a Bugaboo Donkey, which we could never afford these days. However, when i consider going back to my old job, or similar, i realise that what i can give Roh and F is way more valuable than fancy toys, holidays, big posh houses or whatever. I can give them my time. Its something that makes me very happy to be able to do, and has made me realise how little money matters to me. Saying that, i do still want to work in some capacity, i really enjoy the variety and the adult interaction. I could never childmind full time i realise, because although its very fulfilling and enjoyable, it doesn't offer enough variety for me. I'd be quite happy just doing something basic like working in a shop/cafe/library etc. I expect i'll do some waitressing though as its pretty fun and you get to chat with people, and normally have a cheeky glass of wine at the end of the evening. Plus its comparatively well paid as you get tips!
Amazing how your life changes with a baby! Well, i guess its not your life that changes, but how you see it that's different. I love being a Mum!
Edit: Just in case, i want to make it fully clear that the above is in NO way criticising Mum's who go back to work and/or use childcare!! Its just how my life has changed. Given the option i would pay for Roh to go to a minder or nursery a couple of mornings a week, for the experience. Having been a childminder i can vouch first hand for how much it improves baby's social skills and independence and confidence! And i'd love to have the life i have now with more money, but sadly you can't have it all eh?
Tasty snacks as a reward.
