    It's hard with a baby, I find I enter loads at night. I delivered my last baby myself as well (long story or should I say very short) - it's scary isn't it.

    make the most of when they are a baby, they grow so quickly. Comps are always there but they aren't.

    It is hard... It can be very lonely too. I have moved away from my family, so find it very isolating. But i am lucky enough to have a great partner who helps alot. Oh, and also lots of nutters on ere who cheer me up... (you know who u are ;)).

    But if you ever just fancy a chat, pm me... :D
