    hi all....am emerging from the first 2 months of motherhood and hope to rejoin you all soon in some way or another! DH has been doing a lot of the household stuff up to now but I managed to wipe down the kitchen cupboard fronts today and decided that was a step forward and I should be getting back on here, though probably won't have time to keep up!! I did also manage 2 loads of laundry and some washing up :D

    The little man is gorgeous and we love him so much, he's doing pretty well overall and usually goes down to sleep well..though has been back up once tonight with wind!! We're spending lots of time with another mum and baby who I met through the pregnancy thread on here which is great..taking them up to London tomorrow!
