    I would love to see a before and after of your house jwil. Initially full of things then slowly decreasing amount of stuff, then a nursery, then a second nursery with less and less stuff all the time. There and again though I feel like no matter how much stuff I clear out the babies have double coming in.
    I have been shocked by two. Exhausting! It will pay off soon :) I keep telling myself that anyway x

    You never know, I might post one some day. We do have pics :D

    Two is a massive shock to the system, I was expecting it to be hard, but it's even harder than I thought!

    No one ever said two would be hard. On your first you get told endlessly how you'll never sleep again and how rough it'll be. It was a massive shock to the system but 2!!! Woah! I feel like I never sleep and my house is over run with baby stuff. You're doing brilliantly. Shovelling stuff out of the house and turning my flat into ikea feels like all I can do! Haha x

    Well, they do say that having your first baby is a big shock to the system, and having your second is an even bigger shock. However, the good news is that the third and subsequent babies don't make much of a difference :D:rotfl:. I can actually vouch for that :).

    Jwil (and Kitten), merely getting from one end of the day to the other with all your family intact is an achievement at the moment, you are fabulous and never forget it :T.
