Day two was even harder than day one lol but I know it will just take time.

Mel - DH said he doesnt get baby brain, although Im not sure I agree with him watching him come into a room five times and forgetting why he is there

Simsam - Still investigating times for swimming, managed to pick up a cute wee bathing suit/rash vest though (which is easier said than done in winter)!]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 20:33:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17160&PID=382625&title=we-survived#382625 <![CDATA[We survived : It does get easier (both of you),...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17160&PID=382617&title=we-survived#382617 Author: busymum

way to go SD - and what a cute little princess you guys produced ( i said that she had grown so much in photothreads but you cant get in there yet!)

Keep up the great work....and savour the time you have with her.

Yay!! Well done for surviving day 1 - both of you!!

We will certainly do our best to support you and keep you sane - we are always here!! Its a good place to ask those "slightly dumb questions" that you feel you should know the answer to, but just dont!!

Hope you have fun - when are you starting swimming?

Hi SuperDaddy . Glad day 1 went well for you all (even if lilfatty did "ruin" your self settling routine! lol).

There's always lots of help & advice available right here should you ever need it.

Woohoo Superdaddy!! Well done.

My DH has been looking after our wee girl during the day for 20 months now (since she was 5mo) and he still tries to tell me that I ruin his routines when I'm home

Lilfatty, This is definitely harder on you than anyone else but you can be proud knowing that you and Superdaddy are doing what's best for your family atm.

You get used to it tho and there are perks, maybe you could try and organise to go out for lunch with your girlfriends during your lunch break within the next couple of weeks, it's amazing how nice a liesurely lunch (and a glass or two of wine) is since you probably haven't had a leisurely lunch in a few months.]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 08:00:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17160&PID=381805&title=we-survived#381805 <![CDATA[We survived : awwww big welcome and good on...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17160&PID=381793&title=we-survived#381793 Author: nictoddie

Maya - he definately coped better than I did!  

Luckily work kept me busy so It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be ... but when I walked in the door and saw her I realised how bad I did miss her!  (I even ruined Daddies self settling routine as I popped her in the sling and wouldnt let him near her lol)

I'd be interested to see or hear if you eventually start suffering from baby brain like us mums do occasionally???

aww what lovely words

Glad you guys had a good day.

My only advice from one working Mum to another would be to make sure each moment they have together (and you all as a family) is quality time, the mundane stuff like dishes and washing can wait until Isabelle is tucked up for the night. That's how I get through ]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 22:25:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17160&PID=381743&title=we-survived#381743 <![CDATA[We survived : Maya, Im sure her head knows,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17160&PID=381737&title=we-survived#381737 Author: SuperDaddy

Our first day without Mummy!

Just wanted to say hello to all the oh babyites, you have kept my DW sane during the last 3.5 months and now that she has gone reluctantly back to the paid workforce and I have taken on the role of chief bottle washer and nappy changer I am hoping you lovely ladies will do the same for me

Anyway if you see this newbie around the boards, say hello (especially since I need to chat to log up 100 posts to get into the photo gallery)
