Getting on with it
By ella | January 26, 2006
My two week babymoon is over. Matthew is back at work, I have accomplished getting two toddlers and an infant up, dressed, fed, nappied, nappied again and then nappied again (the infant is getting through about twenty diapers a day at the moment), got everyone in the car for the school run, come home, vacuumed and basically excelled at being in sole charge of three small children. Hah! have I got trouble coming tomorrow then, as this can’t last.
Still, I was quite worried about today, but so far it has gone pretty well and sometimes it is easier just to get stuck in rather than worrying about how it will go. The nanny doesn’t start until next week and even then she will just be here three afternoons a week so I’m quite sure there will be some tearful moments over the coming few days as I get myself into some sort of routine.
Both Eldest Son and I are suffering severe constipation, although I don’t think his has anything to do with having a baby despite his protestations that it does, middle son, whose appetite has suddenly increased three-fold to meet some sort of growth spurt is producing about five dirty nappies a day and the baby, well, as I said, about twenty dirty nappies a day so I feel up to my elbows in poop what with all the dirty underwear, nappies, laxatives and suppositories.
I have been sleeping whenever the baby sleeps while Matthew has been home and I am really going to miss that. If you don’t hear from me over the next few days you can assume I have fallen asleep over the keyboard before I ever get around to hitting the “Publish Post” button.
