This is my first week of maternity leave and so far I've had both my boys off school yesterday, then James sick in the night last night so he'll have to stay home again today.
I've got a stinking sore throat which I can't seem to shake off.
And even when kids are better I'll still have to be up at 7 to do the school run, get breakfast, pack lunches etc.
I'm finding it bloody exhausting given I only get to sleep in two hour chunks cos of my bladder and discomfort. Infact my tummy hurts when I get up cos it's just got so big now.
It makes me laugh when people say how hard it is with a new born.. TOUCH WOOD with my previous two I felt so relieved to have my body back that I felt like a new woman and I'm hoping for the same again. You may only get three hours kip at a time but they are three blissfull hours.. laying on my tummy with full bladder control!
Anyone else feeling the strain now? I'm an emotional, tired wreck
